Hello all,
I realize being a little late to post (July 31!) that some have posted two similar contests to what we are offering, which is fine, you are welcome to join as many as you'd like. But we have 3 others that are unique to these boards, so if you're interested, scroll down to the form and fill out what interests you and we'll contact you about joining the contests you'd like. There are official rules for each contest, however I can't post them all here, I will summarize with the main rules, and if you need the full rules, just ask.
NFL POLISH SURVIVOR: $50 per entry, 3 for $125 (3-pack can be split with CFB)
-Each week, you pick a team to LOSE (or tie) to advance. No point spreads.
-Can't pick the same team twice
-4 weeks of eligible buybacks
-After Week 14, you may be required to make 2 picks based on entries left
-Winner takes all unless a unanimous split
COLLEGE FOOTBALL SURVIVOR: $50 per entry, 3 for $125 (3-pack can be split with NFL)
-Each week, you pick 2 teams from the list of AP Top 25 Games to win. No point spreads.
-You can pick the unranked team.
-You can't pick the same team twice throughout the contest.
-4 weeks of eligible buybacks
-If no one picks both teams to win, all teams with 1 correct will advance to the next week.
-Contest only runs until Week 13. Week 14 (Conference Championships) will not be used. After Week 10, you may be required to pick 3 teams based on entries left.
-Winner take all unless a unanimous split
REDDIT EAST GATE: $200 per entry
-This runs similarly to the Westgate LV contest
-You must only make 5 NFL picks ATS per week
-Contest will be held on CBS Sports
-Point spreads will be released Wednesday night along to match the Westgate odds, however we will use half-point spreads so some odds will be different
-Season prize will be listed once we have a full entry list. There will be a $50 weekly prize to the entry with highest score. If there is a tie, only those entries will continue the battle for that weekly prize into the next week(s)
FANTASY FOOTBALL ELIMINATOR: $30 per entry
-This runs similarly to Kidman's contest, except there are no limits on entries and the highest scorer each week until Week 10 is granted immunity for the following week and can't be eliminated
-Prize based on total entries.
-You must pick a QB, RB, WR & TE each week to gain fantasy points (points breakdown is on the official rules page). Lowest score(s) for the week are eliminated.
-If a player with immunity is the lowest scorer, the next lowest scorer is eliminated.
-FINAL ROUND: Week 16 & 17, with 4 players. Highest total points over both weeks will be the champion.
EUROPEAN SOCCER SURVIVOR: $20 per entry, 3 for $50
-This technically counts as football!
-You must pick 3 teams from the main leagues in 5 countries (England, Spain, Italy, Germany, France) each week. The week will consist of Friday-Monday.
-3 points for a Win, 1 point for a Tie, 0 points for a loss.
-You must get 5 points to advance to the next week.
-You cannot pick the same team twice throughout the contest.
-4 weeks of eligible buybacks.
-There will be some weeks where they take a FIFA or Christmas break. These weeks, and Cup competitions (UEFA, FA, Coppa Italia, etc.) will not count towards the contests.
-Winner takes all unless a unanimous split
Below is a form to fill out if you're interested in playing.
NOTE: I'm trying to limit PP/Venmo transactions during the football season to avoid red flags, so I'm trying to push Zelle & Cash App as the primary payment options. If you are using PP or Venmo after August 15, there will be an additional fee added, whereas that fee will not be added to Cash App or Zelle.
By now, there are several posters who have joined and can vouch for the legitimacy of the Pinnacle contests. We'll have fun and I expect all these prizes to be greater than last year's.
