Which is more valuableI still think the Final where one guy gets $15,000 and the loser gets a lifetime subscription (worth about $100) might be a tad bit intense. Best of luck everyone.
That was my only question.I just added a Players Value Sheet so you guys can print it out and study it on your bathroom breaks.
Would my "cousin" JAYson Wood, who happens to live in my house, mysteriously is exempt from paying taxes, has no social security number, but DOES have his own subscription be considered immediate family?Employees and immediate family members of Footballguys.com, its sponsors, affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising and promotional agencies are not eligible to win prizes.
Are you suggesting I'm only going to live another 5 years?I still think the Final where one guy gets $15,000 and the loser gets a lifetime subscription (worth about $100) might be a tad bit intense. Best of luck everyone.
Umm, that would be "no", Jason / Woodrow / Elwood. Sorry Bro.JWould my "cousin" JAYson Wood, who happens to live in my house, mysteriously is exempt from paying taxes, has no social security number, but DOES have his own subscription be considered immediate family?Cheers
Yes you need to fill that out when you fill out the form. The ties will only be for the Head 2 Head, but it could happen (likely with identical starting rosters).So if you guessed that the highest team would be 47 and your opponent guessed 75 and the highest score was by my Charger team at 96 points then you would lose.Hopefully none of these tiebreakers come in play. But once we get to 64 teams, we have to have a way to keep the tournament going forward. We thought this was slightly better than a coin flip.Highest score (Choose the highest points scored by an NFL team this week)Lowest score (Choose the lowest points scored by an NFL team this week)Average score (Choose the average points scored by all NFL team's this week)Will this be submitted in advance of the season?
Nope. Rosters are for your eyes only. We will close the contest on September 1st. The first anyone will see any other rosters is after week 1 when we trim to 8,000 rosters. Each of these rosters will be viewable on the website with what they scored in week 1 (as well as subsequent weeks).But since this is a Survivor format, the score won't matter much except to know you made the cut.You will not be able to modify your roster.Thanks.....that's pretty generous of you guys.One question, though, are we going to be able to view other people's teams? I think that if we are, there is going to be some copying.
I think they are saying the annual subscription price is going down $1.95 starting next yearAre you suggesting I'm only going to live another 5 years?
AS your avatar would say, "Sweeeeeeeet."I think they are saying the annual subscription price is going down $1.95 starting next year![]()
It is a mistake. I will correctIt's listing Tie Breaker #3 as Lowest NFL score as instead of Average NFL score (at least in the edit entry screen.)
TO ALL RESIDENTS OF BANNED STATES:If you guys manage to beat me (questionable with beginner's luck and all) I'm volunteering my status as a resident of a "winnings-allowed" state. For a MERE 35% cut of your $15k (pre-tax of course) I'll gladly accept the winnings on your behalf and tranfer the balance to your accountLet's just say all I know about each of you is an email address right now. I am guessing the winner will not come from these retricted states when I contact them to award them $15,000 or not. Funny how things work out sometimes. :rotflmao:So let me get this straight. Because I live in Arizona....I can play..hell even win the thing..but I'm inelligable for the $$ and dont even get a trophy??? (Residents of Arizona, Florida, Maryland, Montana, North Dakota, Puerto Rico, Vermont, and the province of Quebec may play and have their places noted in the standings, but are not eligible to win any prizes.)Well listen when I win this thing I want you to ship the $15k and the trophy to Senator John McCain and tell him to enjoy because I wont be voting for his ### next time !!You could get my trophy to me by sending it to mexico and pay one of the thousands of illegal immigrants that cross our border here everyday bring it to me. THey would probably be happy to do that for $15K

Oh, no...only five more years until FBGs sell out/fold!the loser gets a lifetime subscription (worth about $100)
Yea, it is going to consume a lot of time to perfect this, but it is pretty damn awesome. Thanks guys, this is the best site on the web. Still can't believe that you are giving away $15,000. That is top notch, your site definitely adds to the enjoyment of FF.so what is the general feeling? Is this contest hard enough for you?
Im not sure it would be worth it. When this is done, I would not be surprised to see major publication sites pick this up. I would not want to get caught like that.If I won, I would -recommend- the money go to Charity.,Aug 8 2003, 11:56 AM]

seroiusly tho....just make freinds with someone from a legal state and have them claim under your alias if you take it all home.....
You know what... This is such a stupid LAW. Please can someone tell me how OLD this law is, and WHY it holds any bearing on $$ prized contests or the right to participate in them. I mean comon... I live in Arizona where... GUESS WHAT!!!??? ... Yep we have casinos and the state lotto and even THE POWER BALL... isnt the Power Ball a $$$ lotto thats between several different states?"Residents of Arizona, Florida, Maryland, Montana, North Dakota, Puerto Rico, Vermont, and the province of Quebec may play and have their places noted in the standings, but are not eligible to win any prizes. This game is open to legal residents of all other states of the United States, and provinces of Canada."Now wouldn't that be a kick in the pants to have your place noted as #1 in lieu of $15,000.
This is an excellent question. I'm assuming they are locked in.I also agree with JAA (that's a first). It would be nice to see the rosters AFTER they are locked in. What is the harm in that? OR is it just not possible?just out of curiosity, are the "prices" for the players locked in, or is there a chance that some values will change? (i.e. Bettis ironically gets hit by a bus while crossing the street, breaking every bone in his body, putting him out for the season, so his value drops and Zereoue's skyrockets.)
Also a few pass-catching third-down backs/fullbacks -- guys like B.Westbrook, Centers, Crockett, Holcombe are there, but Chad Morton and Richie Anderson aren't. Not sure what the logic is there, but at 1pt/rec I may want a guy like them as my RB#4.MIA = Adrian Peterson, Rattay
Looks awesome, shouldn't be too dificult though I bet Jason Wood would disagree on CBuck costing more than Staleyso what is the general feeling? Is this contest hard enough for you?
No way! Don't want anyone to be able to view mine or I will just have to share the $1500It would be nice that when the linups are frozen, we can view everyone elses.
