BetPhoenix.com Presents:
The 2009 NBA / NHL
Combo 'Capper Challenge

We are happy to announce that our good friends at BetPhoenix.com have stepped up once again to support our contest needs. They have $1500 in Bonus Plays to give away as we introduce, what is sure to be a challenging new contest.

It's a fresh new format that should go a long way toward determining who the #1 "all-around" handicapper is, here at the Rx.

This will test your 'capping abilities for not one but two sports in this first of a kind NBA/NHL Combo Elimination Tournament.

We will kick this off with the NBA All Star Game on Sunday, Feb 15th and run thru Monday, April 13th. Weekly elimination rounds will narrow the field down to the two best NBA/NHL cappers, who will then go head2head for Combo Capper Supremacy.​

Deadline to enter is Friday, Feb 27th.

THE FINAL SCHEDULE IS SET:
Code:
[INDENT][INDENT][INDENT][INDENT]
1st Round of ?:		Feb 15-Mar 8
Round of 32:		Mar 9-15
Round of 16:		Mar 16-22
Round of 8: 		Mar 23-29
Semi-Finals:	 	Mar 30-Apr 5
Championship Final: 	Apr 6-13[/INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT]

This will not be a head2head tournament. No seedings. Instead, your YTD overall score will determine whether you advance to the next round or not, thereby insuring the top scorers will advance. The field will be reduced by one-half each week according to combined YTD records. Your NBA and NHL records will be tracked separately for informational purposes but it's your overall combined record that will count. In essence, consistently picking winners in both sports should keep you alive in the tournament.

Ideally, we need 64 entries but no one will be shut out. Whatever the number, we will deal with it by eliminating a set number in the first round to get down to an easily manageable factor of 2.

The opening round will run for 3 weeks, ending Sunday, Mar 8th. For this round only, a minimum 50 plays (25 NBA, 25 NHL) will be required. Anything less will result in disqualification. All future rounds will have a 20 play minimum (10 NBA, 10 NHL). YTD records will carry over to the next round.

[SIZE=+2]YOU MUST INCLUDE THE ROTATION # WITH YOUR PLAYS![/SIZE]​

The Picks threads for each sport will be posted in their respective NBA and NHL Forums. Standings will be posted in both forums daily.

NHL Lines will be posted the night before. NBA Lines will be posted the morning of the scheduled games (approx 9-11 AM ET). Only games listed will be available for play. No lines will be added later. If a play is made on a game OTB, it will be graded 'no action'.

For NHL, plays are allowed on Puckline, Moneyline (+/-400 or less) and Totals. All lines will be OT included.

For NBA, plays are allowed on the Spread, Moneyline (+/-400 or less) and Totals.


A play on a favorite is to win $100. A play on a dog is to risk $100.

6 play max per day, consisting of no more than 3 NBA & 3 NHL.

One post per day for each sport. Additional posts for add-ons will be ignored.

Deadline to post will be 5 minutes prior to the POSTED start time of first game on each of your playlists. If any plays are posted past the deadline, they will be 'no action'. Only plays posted on time will be graded.

Championship Round

1. The Final Round will run from Monday April 6 - Monday, April 13th. Apr 14-15 will be used if a tiebreaker is needed.

2. Since both players will receive prize money anyway, we will level the playing field... somewhat. Whatever lead the top seed has over the runnerup will be reduced by 80%. In other words, if going in, Player #1 leads Player #2 by 100 points, that lead will drop down to +20 to start the Finals.

3. Each day, the 2 finalists will have the option of making (1) 3 unit play and (1) 2 unit play for a chance at winning 6 units per day for both the NBA and NHL. There's still a 3 play max (6 total). You must designate your multi-unit plays with stars *** or parentheses (3).

4. For the duration of the Final Round, piggybacking, cloning, copying, whatever you want to call it, will be prohibited.

A one unit penalty will be assessed for each offense:
  • If the play in question is a winner, the offending player gets a push, his opponent gets the win.
  • If the play is a loser, the offending player gets the loss, his opponent gets a push.
5. Editing is allowed for 5 minutes after posting. If you see you inadvertently posted a play already used by your opponent, you can go back and change it. Making a second post will not be allowed. Should be no excuses.

6. Minimum 20 plays (10 NBA, 10 NHL) to qualify for the title.

7. Should the two players be tied at the end of the contest, a 2 day run-off will be held to determine the winner.

Great stuff JOH....I've been improving my NBA past month, so maybe if I can dig deep and find that good ol' NHL Black Magic for a few weeks here, I can get some FREEP action from BetPhx

I presume then that a First Round entry could conceivably wait until the Wed, Feb 25 to begin at six selections per day through Sunday Mar 1 as long as entry was complete by Sunday Feb 22

As long as you register by the 22nd, yes you can wait until the 25th to start posting plays.
