$20,000 Subscriber Contest (1 Viewer)

[David Dodds]

I have all the technical stuff working and now need to crank out the web pages for the rules, player lists, etc. This should all be LIVE later tonight (best guess 8pm PT).Rules tweaks:Roster will have 1 more RB (5 total) and 1 more WR (7 total). Salary Cap will be $300 which should allow everyone to have a few studs or be very strong with a good bench. Prizes will go deeper.Top 200 will compete over the last four weeks to add to the excitement.Let the chaos begin.....soon.

 

[Fullback Fro]

I hope I can beat shuke this year. Man that would be somethin'.

 

[beef]

So you added spots and money to help the shukes. Catching the steals is what made the contest so much fun.

Uh-oh.You've set a deadline. Counting down to the first"Where's the #### 20K contest!!!!" post now in 3 hours, 49 minutes

 

[radballs.]

Dodds likes to work under pressure.

 

[David Dodds]

I have decided to drop the salary cap to $250. That should add a lot more skill to this. At $300, it was too easy.

[Mario Kart]

Holmes at $99... WOW!!!!

 

[David Dodds]

no comments? Unlike other contests that do not set realistic cap values, I think you guys will find this one to be quite challenging.

 

[David Dodds]

Holmes at $99... WOW!!!!

Less than half your cap. He is a steal. :rotflmao:

I am going to reiterate our procedure here. Make of it what you will.1. At the end of the contest, we determine the results.2. We send a note to the email address on file that won the prize.3. We ask them to fax back that they live in an eligible state and where they want the money sent to (must be an eligible state). 4. Upon receipt of this info, Joe cuts a check and mails it.

the $250 cap is murder. You get 1 great player, a few good players and a lot of marginal players.

I swear that I just submitted a $251 lineup. Do you have the limit kicking out at $250?

 

[Multiple Scoregasms]

It says 15,000 I thought it was 20k

 

[Mario Kart]

Clarification please...Dante Hall... if he scores on special teams does that count for him and the Kansas City ST... or just the ST??Thanks

 

[Multiple Scoregasms]

Once I submit it may i re-submit another....???? PM ME WITH ANSWER

 

[BassNBrew]

First shot was 271. Shouldn't have any trouble paring this down.

 

[David Dodds]

$15,000 first prize. $20K in total prizes. Everybody #####ed last year with just the top prize so we added prizes for the people that were close.

just for special teams. players score according to the players scoring only (rushing, receiving, passing)

Thanks Dodds. It just gets a bit frustrating seeing the same eligibility rules on all the fantasy football sites i.e. Australian residents aren't eligible. I know our laws are pretty relaxed down here when it comes to gambling so I don't understand why we aren't eligible. Anyway I'll sign up and play for fun and if I fluke something I'll try and get an eligible person to pass on the winnings.

It is possible that I recorded one of the values wrong on the salary page. Please PM your team and let me see if I can figure out what is wrong. I won't send it to anyone else.

 

[Mario Kart]

move it back to $300

[IRON CHEF]

DDWhats up with the florida thing? Every year I dont join because I can not win prizes due to the fact I live in Florida! What gives? Please explain this to me? I am in the WCOFF and am playing for much bigger money and prizes than you guys can afford to give, and I am 100% eligable for prize collection. Do you , Joe and your lawyers NOT like people from FL. ? Thanks Paul

 

[David Dodds]

yes. It will remember what you put in. You can then tweak it right up to the deadline.

We have put some javascript controls in, but some browsers can bypass these limits. It is everybody's responsibility to make sure their team is 250 or less by September 5th.David

Here is what ESPN has.IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF ARIZONA, CONNECTICUT, FLORIDA, LOUISIANA, MONTANA OR VERMONT, YOU ARE PERMITTED TO PURCHASE AND BE A PARTICIPANT IN THE GAME, BUT NOT ELIGIBLE TO WIN ANY OF THE PROMOTIONAL PRIZES.Our lawyer handed us the list of states that were eligible and we are sticking to that. I can not comment on why it is ok with WCOFF.
