Wouldn't mind if you guys submitted your entry now and pay by july 18th. If nothing else we can get a handle on how many we'll have.

 

[HarryCaray]

Should put the Send To payypal addy on the google sheet or something. Can't find it anywhere.

It shows up when you submit your entry on the confirmation page. Doesn't need to be out there for just anybody.

Can you PM it to me please? I tried to PM you but your name doesn't show up in the list.

 

[JOH]

We're going to need some commitments soon here or this exercise will become DOA. I asked those interested to simply sign up and pay later and I get 2 signups. Either the entry fee is too much or the overall interest is just not there. How bad do you want this?

 

[Michelangelo]

I'm in. What's up guys? We need players.

 

[HotshotGambler]

I will play each week, gonna start with Week 1 and see how it looks. I will send $$$$ when I get the OK we are gonna play on July 18.

Thanks!!!

 

[HotshotGambler]

Worst case scenario, I would be ok with a winner take all each week. Thats if we don't have interest.

 

[JOH]

Any interest in a double or triple elimination H2H Bracket Competition? I don't see the above format getting off the ground.

 

[dnf0027]

Id be in for h2h bracket style.

 

[Michelangelo]

Whatever format you come up with, I'm in.

 

[JOH]

4 options if we go the Bracket Style route... we need at least 16

$50 per entry with multiple entries allowed. We gotta move it to start by Tuesday.

More I think about it, this may be the way to go judging by the response to the other options. How about $50 per week, winner takes all and we'll use the same rules I set up in post 1 above? The Grand Finale comes off the table and we go from Tuesday to Sunday each week with Monday a make up day. Use the same signup link above and anyone already signed up who's not interested, just let me know and I will remove your name. 4 days to make this happen. Let's do it!

 

[LivintheFamilyLife!]

I'm in for the winner take all format if we have less than 6-8 people

Works for me! If it is confirmed that a contest in one form or another is happening I will send PP.

 

[Michelangelo]

Still in.

Trying my best to find that happy medium that generates the biggest response. Is $50 too much? Do we pay top 2 -- like 80/20? Or lower it to $25 per week with winner takes all?

This is crazy.

 

[JOH]

Ok I'm making a decision and this will be it.

Entry fee will be $25 per week - winner takes all.

Rules as posted in post 1 above. If we can't get a decent turnout for this, then have a nice summer.

FINAL ANSWER.

 

[HotshotGambler]

Love it, Winner takes ALL!!! Winner, Should obviously tip 10 to 20% for JOH going through the weekly hell IMO. Can I send $$$$

$25.00 Correct (Winner Take ALL).
