December 1 through February 28, March madness can be a separate contest
$ 100 entry fee, kinda of in the middle
Format is tough, too many games, can be way too time consuming, how about 10 games on the weekends only, kinda like NCAAF, not sure what lines to use though
can we find lines on Wednesday? or do we use closing lines from one of the advertisers? (maybe they sponsor?)
you can also say 10 (or so) games per week using the closing lines from xyz, but that's more manual work for JOH and not easy to format for scoring purposes

This would be a fun contest. I would be interested.
Would it be too difficult to do a two-week or monthly contest similar to the way baseball and hockey were set up? Would like to see those mid-week games included if possible.
A fellow poster wrote that 30-45 plays every week was too much. What would be the downside of letting everyone play the number of picks they normally play in real life?

the downside of making a lot of picks is the work JOH needs to do
don't bite the hand that feeds you

OK, but I still believe a fixed number of plays is the way to go. Lest somebody way behind starts making 20 plays a day, and somebody in the lead shuts down
And you can't set that fixed number too high either, too much work (for everyone) that will probably scare away some people
I'd like to start with a 10 day Tip-Off Contest with a $25 entry fee - winner take all. That would start on Tues, Nov 21st and run thru Thur, Nov 30th.
That would be followed up with 3 monthly contests for Dec, Jan and Feb - $50 entry fee for each of those 3. Payouts would be determined by # of entries. Total for all would be $175.
Right now, I'm leaning toward using the same general rules we used for the Hockey Contests (see the Hockey Contest thread and open the link to make selections for a list of rules).
Better yet, here's the link...
