The 2015 RX Posters LVH "Style" NFL Super Contest ( Deadline for Picks have been Changed ) Everyone in this NFL Contest MUST post in this Thread

[Betallsports]

Since we had some problems last Season, I have changed the Deadline to Saturday 3PM EASTERN

and Since the REAL LVH Supercontest has a 11AM PST Deadline, I think this is More than fair.

I need Everyone that has Signed up for the NFL RX Contest to post in this Thread, this way You know that the Deadline has changed.

Anyone that feels they don't like this change and wants Out .... I will refund your payment if you have already paid. Or take you off the list.

Thank you

I will always bitch about this.

there is a reason the hilton contest has a specific deadline. it is done in person and all manually input with a proxy turning it in.

for an online contest I don't see the harm in extending the deadline til sometime on sunday. the biggest advantage we have over the supercontest is the ease if putting in picks online and not needing a really early deadline. and we keep similar deadlines to cancel the one huge avatar over the real contest.

If the big contest contestants can put their picks in by 11am PST manually by proxie, since its so easy for us, we shouldn't have a problem.putting them in earlier than their time or the exact time as them thru online internet which takes a few seconds of keystroke........

If our contest is mirroring the Wedthate contest & their rules, then we should have the exact entry deadline as well!

This is a contest to see who the best capper is........I understand most people on this site like being able to compare their picks to what the best cappers at the West gate have, but the copying of picks has no basis in any contest.

Problem is, there are cappers that study for hours & put their picks in while other cruise thru the week not studying at all, then look at the top 10 guys at the Westhates picks, look which teams match up, & use this picks in our contest not having to study at all......that's not a fair contest at all!

Might as well have a prize for the best record for the last 3 or 4 weeks of the season as well like the original contest has......

the purpose of therx to have their own contest is to play against each other, not against picks from players in the supercontest
it doesn't really matter if the deadline is early since everyone is playing with the same information up to that point.
it does matter if the deadline is posted after the supercontest picks are released.

The others are Correct, this was done to Mirror the Supercontest. and as they got Better at releasing the picks, we needed to change as well.
It's still one hour Longer than than the LVH

and I know it's a little harder for yourself, given your Location. But you have been in the Real Supercontest, and I'm sure you need to get your picks in at the same time as everyone else.

I know most of us guys that are in the Real one and using a Proxy has to get our picks in Way before the Deadline..... so 3PM Eastern on a Saturday afternoon, isn't bad.

So the reason we have the early deadline is so that rx contestants cannot see supercontest picks and follow?

If thats the only reason then I get it. I just thought we wanted to feel like we were in that contest. Actually, I would prefer a few rule changes (i.e. a 2 pt pick every week like the money ball in a 3 pt contest, dynamic lines, o/u included, etc.). I always just figured we could take the best NFL capping contest out there and make it better.

There was one other reason I saw for keeping the strict deadlines but no one mentioned it. I figured with stale lines, the later the deadline the less this feels like a handicapping contest.

Yes we did get a few complaints last year that a couple of guys were copying the LVH Leader(s) plays.
as far as making anything a 2 pt play, we are trying to Mirror the LVH at a smaller level, and having some that never have or never will be in the Real LVH a chance to have some Contest action
Without jumping hoops if a Sponsor was involved.

Next season I am thinking about bumping this Contest to a $200 post up, and the College one to $100
