2007 MLB Matchup Challenge
Nothing at stake here guys so let's have some fun. I just want to lay out some ground rules so we can deal with certain situations that come up and then move on.
An announcement concerning prizes, if any, will be forthcoming.
Ok, here's the rules...
Starting Monday, a one week Play For Postion (P4P) Round will get under way. There will be a 15 play minimum for this round only. This will determine seedings for matchplay which starts next week. You will then be matched with an opponent based on your seeding for a one week elimination round.
Most elimination rounds will run from Monday to Sunday. The exceptions being the semi-final and final rounds after the All Star Break. They will both start on Thursday. An added option for the 11 day CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND will be multi-unit wagering for the 2 finalists. More details on that when the time approaches.

Schedule is as follows:
Code:
P4P Round May 28-June 3
1st Round of ?: June 4-10
Round of 64: June 11-17
Round of 32: June 18-24
Round of 16: June 25-July 1
Round of 8: July 2-8
Semi-Finals: July 12-18
Championship Final: July 19-29- Winners of each round, based on total winnings, will continue on, losers go home. Should opponents be tied at week's end, the higher seed will be declared the winner.
- YTD records will carry-over and be used for reseeding. Matchups for the next round will then be determined, high seed vs low seed and so on. Weekly records will be reset to 0.
- Lines will be posted daily, usually in the AM. Games with late openers will not be used. Any plays made on games OTB will be graded 'no action'.
- Moneylines, Runlines and Totals will be available for action.
- All plays are action regardless of any change(s) in starting pitchers.
- When wagering on total runs (over/under) the game must go 9 innings (8.5 if the home team is ahead) to have action. If a game is called or suspended in extra innings, the score will be determined after the last full inning unless the home team scores to tie, or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the score is determined at the time the game is called.
- Rules for Run Line wagers are the same as those for totals.
- The result of a game is official after 5 innings of play unless the home team is leading after 4.5 innings. If a game is called or suspended, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning unless the home team scores to tie, or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the winner is determined by the score at the time the game is called.
- If the home team ties the game and it is then suspended, the play will be no action. No carry over to the next day.
- One and only one post allowed. Additional posts for add-ons will be ignored.
- Deadline to post will be 5 minutes prior to the posted start time of the first game on your playlist. If any plays are posted past the deadline, they will be no action. Only plays posted on time will be graded. Editing will be permitted in the first 5 minutes - no reason needed.
- There is a 3 play max per day.
- Pay particular attention here! A 10 play minimum per round is mandatory to avoid disqualification. There will be no added games in case of rainouts. If on Sunday, your play is rained out causing you to fall under the minimum, you are dq'd! It would be in your best interest to have 10 plays in prior to Sunday to avoid this happening. There is no maximum. Anything between 10 and 21 is allowed. It's your choice. All plays will count.
Good luck to all!
