TheRX Presents: THE 7th ANNUAL
2018 LV HILTON STYLE NFL SUPERCONTEST
2018 LV HILTON STYLE NFL SUPERCONTEST
This Year to insure we continue to have the Best Post-Up Football Contest yet again for a 7th Year, 2nd only to the Real Las Vegas Super Contest, We Needed to hire JOH so we can have the Very Best Grading that we get each and every year.
Because as some know, JOH doesn't work for the RX any longer, and even when he did, he always did his Contest Grading on his Own time.
This helps me run a smooth, no problems Contest. ( I receive No Money out of this )
So Every entry of $200, $10 will be taken out and placed in a pot to pay for JOH's services.
This way he gets paid for his work, he helps us out for a great contest and there is No pressure on Tipping at the end.
* of course if you wish to throw a few extra bucks his way, that's Totally up to you.
RULES :
1. The season long non-refundable entry fee is $200.00. Money Order Entries accepted Until Thursday, Sept 6th 2017. Pay*Pal Entries accepted until Sat, Sept 8th (ALL Payments must be received by Sat, Sept. 8th 2018 @ 3pm ET). Entries must be submitted before making selections for Week 1.
2. Each contestant will use his RX user name ONLY. ( No Team names ) * Max Two Entries
3. Actual cash prizes will be based on total number of contestants ( will be posted on or around Sept 12th )
4. This Contest is based on picking winning teams against the Spread. Contestants must select five teams per week. ( Sides Only )
(a) Contestants may not select both sides of the same game. Any violation results in a double loss.
(b) Any selections that are duplicated will be graded first by the actual outcome and any subsequent duplications will be automatic losses.
5. Please note all Contest Lines listed in the drop-down menu are playable, even if the game goes OTB (Off the Board) at a later date.
6. Contest winners will be determined by the total number of points accumulated during the NFL Football regular season. Each winning selection will be credited with one point. Ties (pushes) count as one half point.
7. Contestants must submit their weekly selections by 4 pm Eastern time each Saturday afternoon, except when contestant wishes to use any game that starts before the deadline. If a contestant wishes to use any game that is scheduled to start before this deadline, ( ie, Wed, Thur or Sat game ) their 5 weekly selections must be submitted prior to the start of those games. Any pick set using an early game that is submitted late will be charged with a loss for any game that starts before the deadline. Any contestant who fails to submit weekly selections by 4:00:59 pm Eastern time on Saturday will earn zero points for that week. This time deadline will be strictly enforced.
8. Weekly Lines will be Posted Each Wednesday Night ( we will use LVH / Westgate Lines ).
9. Only RX Members can Enter to Play ( You MUST have an RX User name and have at least 25 Posts to Enter, and 50 by Contest End ).
* If you do NOT have at least 25 Posts, Do NOT Enter, your Payment will be Returned
9a. Don't have 50+ posts, by the week before the end of the Contest ... well if You cash, You will get 10 % deducted.
because This Contest, along with the CFB one was put together for the Posters of the RX
It's not fair for the RX posters that come here weekly.
10. Tie-breaking rules:
Tie-breaking rules will be applied to determine first place only. Entries tying for second through 10th place, will equally split aggregate prize money from the respective place. If ties exist after the NFL Football regular season for first place, the champion will be determined based on the entry that accumulated the most contest points during the final three weeks of the regular season. If total points accumulated during the final three weeks is equal most points accumulated during the fourth to the final week will determine the winner, and so on weekly (in reverse order), until the tie is broken.
In the unlikely occurrence of a tie after the tie-breakers, co-champions will be declared and the aggregate prize money will be split equally.
Winning distribution will start one week from Contest end, as everything is double checked to assure there are no mistakes
* A Google Form will be provided to make your Weekly Picks. They will appear on the accompanying Spreadsheet, released after the 4pm Saturday deadline.
