Journeyman Baseball Contest Minus Journeyman....

wannabewhale · Feb 21, 2008

Let's get it rolling....players have reported now lets get signed up. Opening day just over a month away.
Entry fee was $300 last year and we MUST have JOH scoring--we can put in extra if needed-but he needs to be a part of it. And none of this days off crap-JOH never sleeps.:money8:

For the record..

Unless Sportsavant wants to get involved with this contest The Rx.com is not interested in sanctioning, sponsoring or offering any prizes for this contest.

The Rx.com will have plenty of baseball contests sponsored by either the site itself or one of our advertisers.

Naturally JOH can get involved if he wants to but it is strictly up to him and not at the request on aynone here at the Rx.com unless like I say Sportavant wants to get involved.

Please use the Baseball forum for any non Rx.com sanctioned contests.

Thanks, wilheim..

I HOPE THE PERSON RUNNING IT ISNT AS CORRUPT AS (MIKE/JOURNEYMAN) AND CAN CHANGE HIS PICKS. WE DONT NEED ANY CHEATERS IN THIS FORUM.

JOURNEYMAN COULDNT RUN A LEMONADE STAND NEVER MIND A BASEBALL CONTEST.

LETS HOPE THE CONTEST IS ON THE UP AND UP NOT LIKE JOURNEYMANS OTHER CONTESTS.:nono5:

Exact contest
Good Cappers--makes the season go by fast

BEANTOWNJIM · Feb 21, 2008

I LIKE THE CONTEST IDEA BUT NOT EVERYBODY IS A SHUT IN LIKE (MIKE/JOURNEYMAN) WAS AND THEY GO AWAY IN THE SUMMER ON THE WEEKENDS.

I THINK IT SHOULD BE A 5 DAY WEEKDAY CONTEST SO PEOPLE CAN GO AWAY ON THE WEEKEND WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT SOME DEGENERATE BASEBALL CONTEST AND POSTING YOUR PICKS DAILY.

MONDAY TO FRIDAY (2 PICKS A NIGHT) CAN'T PICK A GAME OVER -160 THIS WAY GUYS WONT BE PLAYING CHAULK.SO THATS 10 PICKS A WEEK THIS SOUNDS BETTER TO ME.

SportSavant · Feb 21, 2008

Usually we start this contest after the first month of the regular season, the reason for this is to get as many as possible entires....

Don't exclude 2 days out of the week, even if they are typically the quietest.

yes, I saw ur suggestion in post # 4, I will take it into consideration, maybe just "mondays" off so that the grader can catch up on any mistakes, or any situations can be rectified, but have action on thursday.

BEANTOWNJIM · Feb 21, 2008

YOU CANT TAKE MONDAYS OFF THATS THE BUSIEST DAY OF THE WEEK IN BASEBALL MAYBE THURSDAYS TRAVELING DAY FOR WEEKEND SERIES.

WHATS SO HARD ABOUT PICKING 15 GAMES EACH WEEK AND GRADING THEM.I LIKE THE 15 GAMES A WEEK AND PLAY IT OUT UNTIL THE ALLSTAR BREAK.THEN START THE 2ND HALF CONTEST.

I dont think monday is the busiest day of the week, i could be wrong.

wannabewhale · Feb 21, 2008

Don't take a day off and start on Opening Day not a month in. Early season baseball is exciting

BEANTOWNJIM · Feb 21, 2008

MOST TEAMS PLAY MONDAY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY THEN THEY TRAVEL ON THURSDAY AND BEGIN WEEKEND SERIES SO MINDAYS ARE BUSY DAYS.

trytrytry · Feb 21, 2008

SS will get a book to sponsor and RX to kick in something nice!

Monday is the second lightest schedule of the week besides Thursday. Actually Monday usually has fewer games than Thursday

BEANTOWNJIM · Feb 21, 2008

In the past, we didnt have enough entries if we started on day 1.... this is a pattern that has held for all the sports actually..... people just are never ready in time, thus we have to extend the deadline to make sure we get proper number of entries....

BEANTOWNJIM · Feb 21, 2008

ITS NOT EVEN MARCH 1ST HOW MUCH TIME DO WE NEED WE HAVE OVER 34 DAYS TILL OPENING DAY WE WONT COUNT THE RED SOX IN JAPAN.

APRIL 3RD I BELIEVE IS OPENING DAY THAT IS PLENTY OF TIME TO ORGANIZE THE CONTEST.

WE NEED SOMBODY TO TAKE CHARGE WICH I AM DOING TO GET A WRITTEN CONTEST GOING.

HERES THE CONTEST

15 PICKS PER WEEK (-200 IS THE LIMIT) 400 DOLLARS PER PERSON

200 FOR THE FIRST HALF WICH ENDS AT THE ALLSTAR BREAK
200 DOR THE 2ND HALF THAT STARTS AFTER THE ALLSTAR BEAK

HOW SIMPLE IS THIS WHOEVER HAS THE MOST MONEY IN HIS OR HERS BANKROLL IS THE WINNER
