PLEASE NOTE: YOU AN START IN THE CONTEST AT ANY TIME. NOT REQUIRED TO BEGIN ON DAY 1 AS THE CONTEST IS BASED ON LONGEST WINNING STREAK!
Day #28 (Friday)
Longest Streak: jimmy the greek 8-0
Current Streak: trenchcoatmafia 4-0
Official Rules (open to change and/or edit per my discretion):
Contest will run per calendar month (due to start in middle of JAN, this current one will conclude February 28th)
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):
Forum Rank: (this is your rank when you make the 1st selection for the current calendar month contest)
Current Streak:
Longest Streak:
Selection with line: Pistons -10
Analysis: (not required)
So for example:
Forum Rank: Pro Draft Prospect
Current Streak: 2-0
Longest Streak: 5-0
Selection: Pistons
Analysis: blah blah blah
Please keep the Forum Rank listed as the one you make yoru first selection with. So if someone make their 1st selection as a WATERBOY and happen to graduate to the next level during the current contest month, they would still list themselves as a WATERBOY. Once the new month begins, the 1st selection would be logged under their current rank.
All disputes must be emailed to me directly at johnny@pregame.com.
The longest streak at the end of the contest for the WATERBOY winner and the VETERAN winner will be able to choose one of the following prizes:
$100 Pregame Pros Coupon
Apple 1 GB iPod shuffle
SanDisk Sansa M240 1 GB MP3 Player
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock Bundle by Activision
Choice of XBox360, Playstation 3 or WII sports game available on AMAZON ($100 and under)
Good luck to everyone!
