ntroducing: theRx.com American Idol “So Long, Sucker!” Contest!

If making money from other people’s misery does you proud, then this contest is for you!

Introducing the first annual TheRx.com American Idol “So Long, Sucker!” Contest, where getting the boot nets you loot!

It’s easy! Each week, select the contestants who you believe will be in the “Bottom Three”. Of those, identify who you believe will be booted from the show. At the end of the season, the contestant best able to predict the misery of others wins!


How it works:

• Choose three contestants per week that you believe will qualify for the “Bottom Three.”**
• Choose one of your three selections to be voted off the show (“So Long, Sucker!”)
• Post your selections AS INSTRUCTED in the ‘Lines and Picks’ thread in the appropriate contest forum.
• Correct “Bottom Three” selections graded +$100, incorrect “Bottom Three” selections graded -$110.
• Correct “See Ya!” selections graded according to elimination odds posted.
• Failure to post your selections in a given week will result graded losses. Missed or incorrectly posted "Bottom Three" selections will be graded -$110. Missed or incorrectly posted "So Long, Sucker!" selections will be penalised by an amount equal to the odds given to that week's favorite to be booted, as posted.

**"Bottom Three" selections to take place until the Final Four. At this time, only the "So Long, Sucker!" selection will be required.

When is the deadline for posting each week. Assuming right before the "kickoff" show?

Yes. The results show is normally 9pm EST on Wednesdays (there may be scheduling changes) and so selections must be posted no later than 8:59pm EST.

I will have odds up as soon as they are available, normally Tuesday nights.

Panda, I also posted this question on the thread in the main forum. Is the deadline noon, or 1 min before the show starts? I see both listed.

"Plays must be posted as instructed, or will be graded NO ACTION."

does this mean if I posted plays incorrectly I would have received a "zero" this week instead of -440?

You're taking that from the 'fine print' segment that automatically is added to each contest. An oversight on my part.

From the AI-specific rules earlier in the post:

• Failure to post your selections in a given week will result graded losses. Missed or incorrectly posted "Bottom Three" selections will be graded -$110. Missed or incorrectly posted "So Long, Sucker!" selections will be penalised by an amount equal to the odds given to that week's favorite to be booted, as posted.
