SuperContest registration for the 2019 football season begins Friday, March 1, at the Westgate Las Vegas, four months earlier than in recent years. This is being done to make entry available to the huge crowds that come to town for March Madness as well as the rest of the spring and summer.
We first reported this on Twitter @ViewFromVegas & @VSiNLive in January when Jay Kornegay, VP of race & sports book operations at Westgate, announced it at the “big check” ceremonies for last season’s SuperContest champions.
Brent Musburger, will be on hand at 10 a.m. PT to register as the first entry (presumably two). Entry for SuperContest Classic is $1,500 with a limit of two entries per person and Kornegay also announced they will again pay the top 100 finishes. SuperContest Gold costs $5,000 and is remaining winner-take-all. Note: even though the Westgate is welcoming entries from the March Madness crowd, they’re limiting signups during the very busy opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament (most of the proxies have been advised of this schedule, so arrange to meet with them at these times to register): 9-11 a.m. PT on Wednesday, March 20; 7-9 p.m. PT on Thursday through Sunday, March 21-24.
Also of note on the 2019 football contest front is the Golden Nugget is moving up the start of its registration for the Ultimate Football Challenge ($1,000 entry fee, now a maximum of three entries per person, college and pro sides) to Friday, March 8.
