I went the opposite way. If you only spend $200 or less of the $250 you get a 25% point boost per week. Risk/Reward right there.You only got $10?

I feel like tomorrow is the day.@Footballguys - whatever prices you’re still debating, just go lower. Get er done.
Unless of course you define the first week of August as the first full week in which case the worst case scenario is one minute before midnight Saturday August 11.Each subscriber is allowed one entry into this contest, which will debut the first week of August.
Ambiguity regarding the definition of first week of August noted. Worst case scenario one minute before midnight Tuesday.
Or it could be the first full work week in which case worst case scenario is one minute before midnight Friday August 10.Unless of course you define the first week of August as the first full week in which case the worst case scenario is one minute before midnight Saturday August 11.
I wish you guys would quit doing this. It has a Pavlov dog effect on me I start drooling and then foaming at the mouth. My wife though I had been bitten by a rabid raccoon just then. She thought I had rabies.
Rick Astley has that same affect on me. You're not alone. She'll never truly understand.I wish you guys would quit doing this. It has a Pavlov dog effect on me I start drooling and then foaming at the mouth. My wife though I had been bitten by a rabid raccoon just then. She thought I had rabies.
Waiting for the contest to open.What is worse, waiting forbthe contest to open or the 7165 times I will change my lineup?
Waiting is the worst. The 7165 lineup edits are the fun part.What is worse, waiting forbthe contest to open or the 7165 times I will change my lineup?
@Joe Bryant is there an expected launch date for the subscriber contest? Any truth to the rumors that there will be changes to the scoring rules this year?:tap: :tap: :tap:
Testing, 1,2,3, testing...
Is this thing turned on?
you're slowin' down Iggy!Waiting is the worst. The 7165 lineup edits are the fun part.

Haha I do most of the lineup crunching offsite. The 7k figure is just the number of times I actually submit an edit.you're slowin' down Iggy!

HI @Ignoratio Elenchi I'd expect it out by 8/13 and maybe sooner. We always wait till about then to dial in all the salaries and make things as challenging as possible. It's one of the best contests in football for that reason. Not to mention, the contest itself is worth the cost of the subscription. Hope you win it all. I wouldn't expect any rule changes but you never know until it hits...@Joe Bryant is there an expected launch date for the subscriber contest?

I'd be all mad that Joe's rooting for Iggy over the rest of us but the fact is I'm rooting for Iggy too.HI @Ignoratio Elenchi I'd expect it out by 8/13 and maybe sooner.

Why on earth would anyone change scoring rules?@Joe Bryant is there an expected launch date for the subscriber contest? Any truth to the rumors that there will be changes to the scoring rules this year?
Thanks Joe. For the record, you literally never wait until then to launch the contest - with maybe one exception it's always been out by the end of the first week of August, and it's always been a fun challenge regardless. Looking forward to it as always.I'd expect it out by 8/13 and maybe sooner. We always wait till about then to dial in all the salaries and make things as challenging as possible.

For a number of reasons, e.g. to create more balanced game mechanics, or because they think Eli Manning scored too many points last year, etc.Why on earth would anyone change scoring rules?

I'm going to hope this is the "under-promise and over-deliver" approach, and that you actually expect to follow your normal 1st few days of August schedule but don't want to build up expectations too high. Otherwise, it's like saying "We always celebrate Christmas around January 1, so expect your presents then, or maybe a little earlier."HI @Ignoratio Elenchi I'd expect it out by 8/13 and maybe sooner.

Yes. It's why I wrote "I'd expect it out by 8/13 and maybe sooner." It's very likely we can have it late next week. We're continuing to try and make sure we get the best information for setting salaries to make it most challenging. I just always try to make sure I give a date we can for sure hit. I know you guys love to get started on it and that's awesome. Stay tuned.I'm going to hope this is the "under-promise and over-deliver" approach, and that you actually expect to follow your normal 1st few days of August schedule but don't want to build up expectations too high.

It is a great contest and am always eager to do it, but will be about a week and a half later than ever for some reason. The setting of salaries shouldn't be any different this year than prior years, but oh well......Yes. It's why I wrote "I'd expect it out by 8/13 and maybe sooner."

Nobody is going to win a job after one preseason game, unless a starter suffers a serious injury. Since the starters normally play only the first series in that game, it's most likely won't occur.While I’m as anxious as anyone to get the contest opened, I do think the latter date is preferable. Less chance that everyone has the same $3 players who unexpectedly won jobs and more accurate pricing overall.
