"I Want to Compete Sign-up Thread".....
Any eligible posters interested in participating in the The Rx.com Head to Head Handicapping competition need to sign up here in order to to be considered as a potential contestant in all future match-ups. Weekly winners will receive a free 60 day subscription to Rx Odds.
To be eligible you simply must have at least 100 posts here at The Rx.com. The contest itself is free and designed to be fun for all to see which posters can emerge victorious from week to week.
This sign up thread will stay open after the first match begins and remain up until The Match-up Committee deems that there are enough volunteers to run the contest for at least 16 weeks. Remember you can be selected more than once unless you post a withdraw from the competition post in this thread which is optional to anyone at anytime.
However once you are voted in as one of the competitors for the following week's match backing out will disqualify you from all future matches and result in your poster name being taken off the "Want to Compete" list unless you have a very viable excuse which will be ruled on by The Match-up Committee.
Winning Match-ups from each week's poll will be posted no later than the previous Saturday at Noon EST so that the entrants will know they are scheduled to start competing the following Tuesday. Selected contestants must post they are aware they have been selected and are good to go no later than Midnight Pacific on Sunday before the contest in the Match-up announcement thread.
The Match-up committee will have a list of posters who can be inserted at the last minute as fill ins if a voted in poster of a a particular match-up is unable or unwilling to compete.

How the Contest Works:<o></o>
<o></o>
Every Wednesday, there will be a poll in the main forum with a list of five (or some weeks three) potential matchups created by a Match-up Committe composed of Rx.com Moderators and Advisory Board Members. The list will be composed from volunteers who enter a master "I want to compete" list from a thread posted sticky here in The Offshore Forum and left up until further notice.
Once the five matchups for the next week are posted in the poll the posters at The RX.com will vote on which match-up they would like to see go at it head-to-head during the following week, occasionally a poster will be entered against a moderator as a possible matchup but still must win the poster vote to actually be the match-up of the upcoming week..
RULES:
The winners of the poll will meet and do battle in:
“The Rx.com Poster Head to Head Capping Contest Forum..”.
<o></o>
Every day of competition (Tuesday thru Saturday) there will be five games with lines posted for each one of the two competitors (juice is not a factor). The lines can be from games of any sport being played that day and each contestant will have 5 separate games to choose their picks from for that day.
There will never be a day when the contestants have the same games to pick between. The Sports that will be used to kick off the contest will be either College Basketball, NBA Basketball or a combination of both. Eventually NHL Hockey, PGA Golf head to head match-ups, and eventually Major League Baseball will all be used as sports to be part of each nights handicapping card.
<o></o>
In the event of a tie, each contestant will have a special tiebreaker prop on Saturday night.
<o></o>
Every week, we will have two new contestants competing, winners do not advance but can play again later in a different match-up if voted in by the Rx posting body. A win the previous week will not put you in the contest the next week unless you are part of the Match-up Poll and voted to be a contestant again by the Rx posting body.
<o></o>
No editing of plays without moderator consent. <o></o>
How to win:
The contest will run from Tuesday thru Saturday each week, five days with five picks each day except Saturday when there will be a sixth special tiebreaker prop play for each contestant. The tiebreakers will also be different games. The reason for totally different games for each contestant is to avoid copying by contestants late in the week.
<o></o>
Each contestant must select a prediction for all 25 of their plays against the spread plus their Saturday tiebreaker or they cannot win and are disqualified.
Ties are of no value and and are the same as a loss. Each win against the spread is equal to one pont. The contestant with the most points after making their 25 selections plus the tiebrieaker which is worth one point to the one contestant who comes closes in their tiebreaker during the week wins the weekly prize. In the event of a tie after all games and the tiebreaker are graded and the two contestants have an equal amount of points the contestant with the most posts wins the contest.
<o></o>
All plays need to be posted in the contest forum daily thread by a deadline that will be posted in each days contest thread. That deadline will be the starting time of the earliest game on either contestants daily schedule unless otherwise noted. There may be early starting times on Saturday due to games starting earlier than normal. Plays posted late will be counted as losers. All plays must be posted no later than the posted deadline for that days competition in order to count no exceptions unless there is a major software failure by the Rx.com website at which point the Match-up Committee will rule on how that weeks contest will continue (possibly extra games per remaining day or a Sunday card).
Even if you have late starting games your entry must be in by the posted deadline set for that day's competition.
<o></o>
The contest will be sides only. No totals will be used until baseball begins or if there are not enough games to complete two separate five side cards on a given day. In that case totals may be used to fill out that particular days plays.
<o></o>
Any issues or disputes that may arise will be settled by The RX.com Management at our sole discretion. All rulings are final. Rule changes to improve the contest may be implemented as the competition progresses if suggested by someone from the posting body and ruled on favorably by the Match-up committee on a case by case basis.
