WOW!!!

Bad week for me, Fun contest. Will there be another set of MLB Weekly Contest, after the Grand Finale?

Thanks!!!

Hotshotgambler

May put my feelers out to gauge interest. There needs to be more than 10 or 11 entries. Possibly after ASB we can see where we stand.

Great. Also you can count me in for a NFL and CFB like last year.

One more? The grand finale, It will start this Tuesday June 13 and will the rules be posted. I'm still new to this my apologies for any dumb???

James or Chugs... comes down to last game for our final payout.

Boston win and James Hat nips him by +8.15. Chugs looking for win #3.

Nice ending about to materialize.

Congrats Chugs! Well done

ChugsMcGee is like clockwork. In keeping with the status quo, he comes thru with his 3rd win of the Tournament, each one coming 3 weeks apart. With wins in week 3 and 6, he stayed on course with a week 9 victory and has hauled in a total of $435.00. Playing with house money as we enter the Grand Finale. PP winnings have been sent and let me say thanks to him for his generous give back.

Thanks guys for a nice job making your selections with very few mistakes along the way. Made my job easier and every one is to be commended. On the the finals!

 

[ChugsMcGee]

Lucky Sunday...Thanks guys!

^ That's the scoreboard to get used to for the Final Round.

Note the list of entries with #'s for the weekly winners. That's exactly how you should enter your Poster Name for each entry.
All non-winners will simply enter their name.

The FACTOR is the baseline bonus for each player determined by dividing the number of weekly entries by 85.
That number will be multiplied by your Week To Date Total, listed under the SUB column. That product is listed under the Bonus column.
Finally, the Bonus is added to the 'SUB' Total to get your actual 'TOTAL' score.

So that's 21 entries if there aren't any no-shows.

Let's do it!

Wouldn't be a bad idea if you guys test this out so you get a knack for when the bell rings tomorrow.

How can I get into this Grand Finale? Just figuring were I to pop in outta nowhere plop up into this Grand Finale (GF) and Claim The Win, beat all these sharp base cappers that would be really "entertaining", like, Forum Entertainment. No Disrespect intended to those who've actually earned spots in it, you or Contest Rules/Structure just tryin' to add some excitement to this GF and avoid being left out of a contest I now wish I'd taken part in. I was refining my Baseball Capping Process though, starting to see better results just real recently so thats whats behind the timing of this request to be allowed into this GF. And not actually me trying to be an a-hole, as it might appear.

I figured if I don't ask then I'd never get in so, "worth a shot", as is said.
