GENERAL
RULES (for EACH performance)
Each contestant
picks ONE post position (team or player) for EACH
game on the program. Contestants earn 'Campeonato'
points based on their picks' game finishes (Win-5 points, 2nd-3
points, 3rd-1 point). The contestant with the most 'Campeonato'
points is the match winner. If both contestants have the same
point total, the win is awarded to the contestant whose entry
was submitted first. If any players are scratched, designated
subs are applied.
NOTE
(Changing your entry):
You're not allowed to edit posts, but you ARE allowed to post
a revised entry before post time. Don't worry, we'll use the
latest one.
CONTEST
SCHEDULE:
A.
QUALIFICATION & SEEDING ROUND
NOTE: This is
NOT a practice round. It is the
official start of the contest.
The contest begins with the Friday, February 6 performance,
which will determine bracket seeding and set the first round
matches. A bracket of 32 is expected, but if there are fewer
registrants, first round 'byes' will be awarded to the top qualifiers.
The bracket size is limited, so only the top 32 scorers in this
round will make it to the match play portion. Qualification and
seeding are decided based upon total 'Campeonato' points
for THIS performance.
B.
SUBSEQUENT (MATCH PLAY) ROUNDS
Individual match competition begins with the Saturday, February
7 (Evening) performance.
POST
TIME DEADLINE:
Your picks must be posted by Game #1 scheduled Post Time,
7:00 PM (ET). And, this rule is FIRM - NO exceptions.
Please, don't try to play Cinderella, and don't come groveling
if you get caught in traffic - just get 'em in early, before
it slips your mind - hey, it could happen. Entries must be placed
in the threads titled:
It will be much easier
for us to score if you use a separate line for each game.
And, to help avoid errors, we suggest that you include the date
with your picks, inside your post, e.g.,
My picks
for Friday, February 6:
Game
1 - #3
Game 2 - #8
Game 3 - #4
Etc.
(careful, might be 10 games)
NOTE: You can't bet until Dania posts
their entries AND we've opened a betting thread for that
performance.
However, you ARE allowed to advance-bet (if the thread is open)
in anticipation of a current-round victory.
OH,
BY THE WAY ...
It's just not cricket to wait for your opponent's bets, and then
carefully craft yours around his.
You might think that's clever 'strategery', but
this contest is about picking winners, not 'gamesmanship' ...
'nuff said.
Good luck!
