Official Rules (open to change and/or edit per my discretion):
ADDED RULES FOR NHL/MLB:
Moneylines on MLB and NHL up to -130
Pucklines/Runlines up to -130
MLB and NHL totals up to -130
FULL GAMES ONLY!
Contest will run per calendar month.
One selection per day
You
can use the same selection as another player EXCEPT in the event of a
tiebreaker contest. At this point, you can not take the same game
selection. You could pick the total if they pick the side and vice
versa.
Sides/Totals only (full games, no moneylines)
Must use the official lines from Pregame Live Lines
After making 1st selection, allowed ONE PASS per calendar week (Monday-Sunday)
Contest is self moderating, so you must grade and update your selections daily
Once
a game loses, the current streak will be logged and they will start
over the following day. So say I go 3-0 and lose my 4th game, my streak
would be 3. On the 5th day I would make another selection and start
fresh with the possibility of topping my 3-0.
In the event of a
tie at the end of the month, the posters who are tied will continue
making selections DAILY (the ability to skip a day as in the general
contest will not apply) until someone wins. The selections will count
toward the tiebreaker AND the current month's contest. So if two people
are 7-0 and going into the following month, the selections count toward
the tiebreaker AND starting a new streak for the current month.
All
streaks conclude at the end of the current contest month and will not
continue into the new contest month. IE, so if you are 8-0 at the end
and win on the 1st of March, the streak is 1-0, not 9-0. But feel free
to mention it in your post!
Format to post (MUST USE):
Current Streak:
Longest Streak:
Selection with line: Pistons -10
Analysis: (not required)
So for example:
Current Streak: 2-0
Longest Streak: 5-0
Selection: Pistons
Analysis: blah blah blah
All disputes must be emailed to me directly at johnny@pregame.com.
There will be one winner per calendar month and than the Grand Champion for all of 2008.
The
Grand Champion will be the forum member with the longest streak overall
streak. The monthly contest will be decided each calendar month, but
the 2008 Grand Champion will be the longest overall streak in 2008. In
the event a streak is ongoing at the end of a calendar month, for
purpose of crowning the Grand Champion anyone 5-0 of better at this
point will have their ongoing selections tracked in a seperate thread.
For example, someone is 7-0 when the month ends. They will be 0-0 at
the start of the new month for the monthly Beat the Streak, but the 7-0
will continue with the next months selections for qualifications for
the Grand Champion. Any questions on this, please email me directly at Johnny@pregame.com.
