I moved the talk/discussion about the contests to a new Thread
Think it would be better moving forward, especially if you're looking for new players

BAS/JOH, because of the work involved being the banker for these contest, I would
suggest LTFL and Willie get either the NFL ($200) or CFB and NFL Totals ($200) entry
fee on the house.

I'm not sure these guys understand how much work is involved in keeping the
money records for three different contest. It will be time consuming to say the least.
My recommendation, but would like to know what others think.

how will payouts work? as far as the method... would it be a choice or whatever is available as far as who paid with what option?

also, who does the 8% admin fee go to?

The 8% goes to JOH for running the contest. We participants are getting a barging for all the work
he does keeping up with these things. He's proven over the years to be pretty damn good at it.

Getting paid is the easy part...you got to win the dang contest first.

I feel u and know 1st hand what a force JOH is contest wise, but it wasn’t specified so I maybe thought the “bankers” got a slice of that. It’s important to have these things sorted and specified before the season, not just worry about it if you win.

Roger that Mr. D.

These contest just make the football season more fun to me and JOH is a Pro at running them. Jump in and test your
capping skills...could be very rewarding.

I’m thinking about it.So same rules as Las Vegas Hilton . Pick 5 Nfl teams with point spread. Entry in by when again 24 hours before kick off. I have no problem chipping in for 8% fee.Also chip in for 1or 2 members entry fee. A lot work. I don’t understand hold money orders. I trust you guys. Is their limit on how many can signup. Or the more the merrier. I am familiar with Willie. I’m for him & whoever else you pick. Ok thanks Baronman

I appreciate the vote of confidence fellas & dont take it lightly. I’m here to help in the small ways i can to ensure these great contests can continue to be offered. I know football season wouldnt be the same for me without them. JOH is the real star of the show & deserving of all the credit, Willie & I have the easy jobs. I will do my best to stay on top of updating payments as i get them. Money orders will be cashed weekly & not held on my end just fyi. Any other questions please feel free to ask here or pm me. Thanks & good luck!

Baronman, if you're talking about the NFL Totals Contest.... here's a link to the rules for last year's contest.
http://www.therxforum.com/showthread.php?t=1115659&p=12562479&viewfull=1#post12562479

There's NO limit to the number of entries we take in. Each poster, however is limited to max of 2 for each contest. Learn the rules. If you enter, I expect you to know exactly how things are run. GL

Captain,

The 10 am deadline and reduction of picks from 7 to 5 are the two changes that I'm noticing. Anything else that I'm missing?

It's six (6) picks per week. That's a typo. Always been 6. Made the change.
