Is this still starting today?

 

[Diesel00]

Where are we at gentlemen??

 

[JOH]

I'll have answer later this morning. Sorry guys... not the turnout we anticipated.

 

[LivintheFamilyLife!]

JOH-Yeah seems like LOTS of work on your end for 7 people total, not worth it imo. I’m fine with withdrawing & maybe doing a march madness challenge or something.

 

[Betallsports]

Guess we can wait and see another week ...

Up the Ante $50-$100 and go with Winner takes All

Shorten the contest to end May 1st ( this will allow 1 month of MLB )

Shorten the contest to April 1st ( and leave MLB out ) * changing it to a Double and not a Triple
* also making it a 200 plays contest.

Do a 1 Month Contest, ( NBA & NHL )

Bounce the whole thing for now, and re-visit it in a month or two

March Madness Contest, which we Do anyway ...

or any other ideas ....

Whatever you guys want to do. But I agree that it's a lot of work for JOH to do a 4-5 month contest for 7 Guys


Thoughts ??

Talked it over with BAS... he's still out of the country... won't be home until the weekend.

We decided to put some options out there or ask for your opinions.

Do we go with what we got with no changes or wait another week?
I have the score sheet ready to go so we can start anytime. A big test to do this but I can handle it.

Would everyone be willing to up the entry fee at all?
Another $50 would give us a $1400 pot and payout would probably be winner take all.
The extreme would be to double the entry to $300 with top 3 cashing.

Do we shorten the duration of the contest?
There was talk of running this thru May but ending it the last day of April might be more feasible.
There's really only a couple weeks in April where all three sports are in action. Kind of defeats the purpose of a Triple Sport Contest.

Do we wait until a later date before starting this up?
A lot of other contests and pools going on right now and coming up where people may feel inundated and just not able to put in the time and energy.

Do we scrap it altogether?
What do you guys think we should do?

I’d vote to wait or just scrap it at this point but will go along with the majority. Would like mlb part of it if so. Think you’re right that with college just finishing & nfl playoffs going on most are already focusing on other pools.

 

[Heatwave]

I think you should make it start the week after the Super Bowl. That way football out of the way, CBB, NHL and NBA in full swing.

 

[Diesel00]

I'm game for whatever LOL

Yeah, think it would work with a few of these out of the way. Like playoffs and Super bowl done.

Waiting to back from 3 more guys
As it stands now, this is still a go.
Anybody that can't wait, just let me know and I will refund payment.

Does that mean You are in ??

 

[Heatwave]

Does that mean You are in ??

Sure.

 

[Michelangelo]

I'm in for whatever. But I do think that bumping the start to maybe a week after the conclusion of the SB might get you some additional interest. Maybe reduce the number of plays to 250.

How about 2/12 (Monday 8 days after SB Sunday) through 5/22. That's 100 days. An average of 2 1/2 picks per day, encompassing fair amounts of NHL, NBA, and MLB regular season games.

 

[Michelangelo]

PS Whatever you guys agree to you should rewrite the rules (including specified dates) and advertise the new thingy on all the betting forums as well as the Offshore, with a note about the changes and why they occurred. (to eliminate confusion). Thanks.

Sounds like a few good ideas... Plus if Heatwave is in, that would make 8 moving forward

still have to hear from a couple more guys

Thanks
