since you can't change the format of the contest lol, sounds ok. I like the 5 payouts as well, or maybe just make it 3. Decide that when we figure out how many people are in. Any buy weeks or penalty for not making picks in a week?

With five spots being paid, I'll consider playing.

Is there a post requirement to play? One of my best friend's has been a member here for like four years but has only posted a few times. I was going to mention this to him.

you guys can check it out here

BetJamaica click that pick 3 1,000,000 thing at the top.

check out the rules. they have a free contest and we're going to have a private one running off the big one. whatever picks you play in their free contest will go to our private contest.

so you have a chance to win money for free and we have a private contest amongst madjack members for the $100 entry fee. with a lot less players too, im sure.

check it out. i'll open a new forum with the deposit details tomorrow and the directions to enter the private contest.

hope this made sense, im in a hurry.

hey guys.......btw.....please don't feel obligated to join this contest. it doesn't matter to me if we have 5 or 505 people in it. i just thought it would be some friendly competition between the family we have here.

i'm already in it :) so if nobody else plays, i'll get my 100 bucks back by default :D

details coming tomorrow.

we can have smaller and larger entry fee contests as well. depends on the interest. nobody is making money off this thing except the winners of the contest.

sorry i cant change the format for different contests but this is all the software is programed to do. i kinda like it myself. it seems easy :D

Jack, it wouldn't be that hard to have *varied $$ amt* depositors all in one contest.... i'll try and post an example tomorrow, but we have school registrations going on for the next couple of days, so it may take until Thursday.

some kids might already be missing school..... we have 5 schools in our district that are on *balanced schedules* .... my elementary kids school isn't air conditioned so they are on a normal schedule still...... (and probably most on the team either go to his school or a private school, which i know for sure 3 of them do) and they don't start until August 29th either.... (the finals are on August 28th, so they would get home JUST in time to start school on time after the past month that they've had being home only about 5 days.) it's just REGISTRATION (pay up) time the next couple of days....most kids don't start school yet, but if there are any in balanced schools, they are gone with excused absenses just like the FL kids ;)

Jack, I'll do the contest for $100. But if you want we can go heads up for a dime or something for fun. Or maybe have an additional one with a few people on here for a nickel. Your words good with me. Whatever works. Just thinking out loud again. let me know.

As Rex said, I think we can get some interest in at least a nickel for some members.

Also, if you are ever interested in contest formats for football a few of us tried a dog contest last year. The format was pretty simple. Pick 3 dogs each week and if they win the game straight up you get whatever they were getting for points.
Most points at the end of the year won.

For example put the lines out at begginning of week, don't move em. You have to pick 3 dogs. Lets say you take Arizona +6 or something as one of your picks. They have to win the game. If they do, then you get 6 points. If they lose and cover or lose period you get nothing.

Made it interesting to see people at the end picking +14 dogs to try and catch points.

Might sound stupid to some, but it was fun.
