As far as details... no reason we couldn't use a similar setup to what we used for the MLB Contest.
Here's the rules page for that one:

I would need an exact count of entries in order to set up the bracket so consider this the sign up sheet. Figure on a $100 entry fee. Payouts determined by number of entries. Triple Elimination for sure.
Set up would be for half the season.
Season starts Wed, Oct 12th.
Half way point is 86 play dates or Mon, Jan 9th.

I'll set up a signup form ASAP.
Here's a rough draft of the rules for now. May tweak here and there...
Rules:
Make a Max of 5 Picks per day using the Posted Daily Lines from Pinnacle.
(Lines will be posted the night before, usually after the final game of the night puck drop)
Each Play will be graded as a 1 UNIT Play: Bet To Win $100 on Favs / Risk $100 on Dogs
Betting options will include Puck Line, Money Line, Game Total, Reg Spread, 1st Period Total and Alternate Puck Line.
You can use the same game for multiple picks: ie,
Rangers -1.5 +150
Rangers Over 1.5 -107
Rangers Over 5.5 -110
Plays will be submitted thru the Google Form provided and show up on a related spreadsheet.
All plays must be in at least 5 minutes prior to earliest scheduled start time of your pick set.
(Google Time Stamp will serve as time of post). Past posted plays will be graded a push if
outcome is a win. Graded a loss if outcome is a push or loss.
All plays must include the Rot#, Team, Line and Odds. A simple copy and paste will help
alleviate any errors.
Whenever a play is posted with multiple odds, the right most number will be graded.
Example: 1 New York Islanders +1½ -275 +113
In this case, the ML +113 will be graded.
Any plays submitted with lines or odds that do not match the posted line or odds will be graded NO ACTION.
Only one post per day allowed.
All selections will require a 4-Digit Security Code which you will establish during the signup process. This is to validate that it is YOU who is making the picks. An incorrect code results in no action for all plays submitted.
First round matchups will be a Blind Draw.
The goal is to get 32 singups. A factorial of 2 is the easiest to bracket. If we get 16, we may cut it off there if signups are slow.
Here's a look at a 32 team triple elimination bracket and how it would progress.

Ok I need you guys to sign in here if your intentions are to participate. The official signup form will be up once some logistics get ironed out... could be a couple days or so. Get your name on the list for now and we will have the form up and running in no time. Got to have a good turn out or it will not be feasible to go forward. Thx
