First, I have received the go ahead from MJ himself, therefore he has nothing to do with this. This will be the second year I run this and the challenge sheet is already formatted. This is a lot of fun and I expect it to grow yearly.

Rules:

I list the last 22 of 24 bowl games against a point spread taken from what I saw on Pinncale Sunday night starting with UCLA-FLA St and skipping the games on January 6-7. You pick your game and rank it from 1-22 in point value in the appropriate column (22 being your most confident selection down to 1 being the least). If ag game ties according to the point spread, you will half your ranked value. There are a total of 253 points. Entry fee $20. Payout 50%, 30%, and 20% of total purse for top 3 point totals. Last place gets their $20 back.

I must have picks by noon December 26 so that I can format an excel spreadsheet. This spreadsheet will then by forwarded back to everyone before the start of UCLA-FLA St, therefore you can follow along to see where you stand and root for/against. It will allow you to enter the correct value for each contestant and will having each running total. All money must be received by the start of the first game, OTHERWISE THE ENTRY IS VOIDED....no exceptions.

Nol in Vol Land can attest to this as he gets in everything I run. For the first year we had 31 people in, and I expect to be double that this year. Please let me know if you should be interested and we will make arrangements for me to get the contest over to you.

Thanks.

I just set up a temporary email addess at msn ( jr1144 ). To answer your questions, just send me an email with acutal and mj name from here and I will respond back with the acutal contest sheet. Everything will be listed on the this sheet for you including address to send payment. And again, you will get before the first game everyone's picks to follow along. I would like to run this yearly as I do think it will be fun.

The main reason why I elected to run it myself was the guy that has ran it for 15 years waited to long to get it out. My last year with him at 90 people in or $1800 in. My way gives people time to look into this as well as me time to compile the overall picks into a speadsheet. I do anticipate this growing yearly and provides a little extra fun for all outside of your normal gambling.

Let me know if you need something else.

Blackman-blgstocks received email and contest sent out.

There won't be any stiffs, because no $ before kickoff of game 1, no entry.

Good luck.

Good job jr11.

Thanks Jack as well. This should be a huge turn out.

Just took a Lunesta 15 min ago. I'm about to fall on my face. Suckers work!
Good night.

Nole, you are 2 funny, but you and I know you won't win.

Jayhawk_Thor, emailed contest sheet earlier this morning.

As for building the pot, I probably will have about 40 people or so of my own here, whether it's people from work-customers-friends-so on. The more the merrier.

Thanks...

Nole being in is good enough for me.


I'm sorry ctown but you aren't allowed to participate in this contest. Please, let me have a chance to win something you're not involved in.

I beg of you! :mj08:


jr11, thanks for the pick-me-up. What a pal! :mj07:

743 last week. 268-238-237. Now that I posted this I'll shoot 570 tonight.
