sounds good, Kaz. I'll enjoy the competition regardless of format.

Just a couple of thoughts FWIW...The contest would be closer to a capping contest if the consequences of a loss were applied rather than a loss being neutral. If someone picks a -150 favorite and loses $150 is subtracted from his total, $100 loss for a dog, etc. This idea may already be incorporated into the other contest currently going which I'm not a part of. If so, cool. Downside of this idea is that the contest may be unduly prolonged if everyone goes into a slump. probably wouldn't be a good idea to have a contest span two or three seasons. The contest would probably have to be within a timespan rather than 'first to $1000'

An entry fee would sweeten the pot, even if it were only $10. If mods don't want to deal with the administrivia associated with money collections that's totally understandable, just thought I'd throw it out there for consideration. The contest was fun as it was so if it's the same I have no beef. Thanks to Monte, Che and Kaz for staking the pot.

Hey buddy. Thanks a bunch for the ideas. All of our last contests have been where you incurred a loss. This was a trial and really meant to be a quicker contest where you could just drop a play in and be done with it. And maybe we can try a contest where everyone drops some money in to sweeten the pot during football. The money for these has come from Monte and then guys like Hammy, Cheche and JC putting their winnings back into the pool and I will as well now, so we could keep them going.

Our next contest will probably be one similar to what you have just mentioned. Generally around 14 days and best record wins.

Thanks again for your ideas. We appreciate feedback.

5 picks and I will do the final standings sometime this week.

[PhilJr]

Yes. This is week 4 and there are just 2 days in week 5. KB will be working on standings this week.

So how many picks are to be made in 2 days of week 5? Do real standings exist?

[KazDog]

I assume this is week 4 and final week on the pick 10? Will there be an update on standings?

Guys. I think we'll start both contests on Monday. I feel like not everyone is around on the weekends and I want to make sure everyone that wants to enter will be able to get in on these. Both of these are a little different and should be fun!

If it's me and you in a 1-2 finish, I will double the pot if I win

I'm paying some for 2nd place, so if you're doubling the pot if we win, I'm all for that!

[PhilJr]

[KazDog]

Geez, gone for 5 days and I get a nice back

I'd feel bad for that little jab if you hadn't grilled me in the previous contest for not being able to pick my nose. You know the karma Gods got you! I predict a 1-2 finish for you and I in the next contest.

And good to have ya back ya helmet buffer!

[PhilJr]

PhilJr says he can definitely do better than he did in the last contest. One winner should do the trick Phil.

Geez, gone for 5 days and I get a nice back
