I like Clem's idea here. FWIW.
I'll mail my check next week Tom.
Floating trophy sounds good. If someone quits betting or leaves MJ's, we'll hope he/she(can you imagine what Bahama Mama would say if I didn't put "she"? Yikes! ) returns it back to Tom. If not, we all chip in and start another one.

I got around to checking the office pool dot com site and I am fine with using it.
It will cost a dollar more for everyone so $11.00 is the cost per entry. I will cover another steve and bandits since they already sent theirs in.

correctly predicting the straight up winners of each tournament
game. There are 6 rounds and a total of 63 games, 32 games in the

The pool manager has set the point values per win as follow:
Round - Pts/Win
1 - 1
2 - 2
3 - 3
4 - 4
5 - 5
6 - 10 SCORING BY SEED:
Your pool does not use scoring by seed. PICK DEADLINE:

Pacific Time. You may enter and change your picks until this time.
The pool manager may change this deadline but no entries will be
accepted once games start. STANDINGS:

most points are ranked highest. Standings will be updated on the
tournamentpools website automatically as the tournament progresses.
You may also opt to receive score update emails, sent by the
website. TIEBREAKER: In the event of a tie in total points, the
first tiebreaker for this pool will be based on your points in Round
6. The person with the most points in that round wins the first
tiebreaker. In the event of a tie after the first tiebreaker the
second tiebreaker will be in effect. The second tiebreaker will be
based on your points in Round 1. The person with the most points in
that round wins the second tiebreaker.
If there is still a tie after both tiebreakers, the prize (or
bragging rights) will be split equally amoung all those who tie.
Alternatively, if you determine that a tie is possible after the 5th
round of the tournament, you can have everyone who is in the running
for the tie, submit a total point prediction for the championship
game. Then if there's a tie in points, the person closest to the
total points scored (going over or under doesn't matter) wins.

yes, it causes problems and headaches. not to mention the people that scam other members, people not getting paid, people not paying, etc, etc, etc.Agent 0659 said:
plus, new members think they can come in and start their own agenda driven contests and they don't understand why i let some members have them and i don't let them have one.
another plus is; i'm not so sure how legal they are either with members passing money around between each other in a form of gambling. i can't take that chance either.
i'll have plenty of contests and will run them as well, just let me know what ones you want and i'll try to put it together with better prizes.
i just can't have contests here unless i'm going to be responsible and i'm running them.
I understand but what a crock of shit. Just like real life, the few assholes ruin the fun for everyone else. Jack, Im starting to get a little confused around here would you mind sending me a rulebook? Hard to keep up with all this BS.
there are more than a few assholes trying to ruin everything and scam the unsuspecting.Agent 0659 said:
yea, i'll send you a rule book. keep checking your mail at home. christ!, why be an ass about it???
ok, slick, you two guys are 'grandfathered' in, okay?
happy now?
i'm just trying to cover MY ASS as far as legalities and protect some of the people that are being setup to be scammed on here. even *I* got scammed recently.
I'M TRYING TO KNOCK THAT SHIT OUT.
your contest and twofingers are grandfathered in.
i'm not going to be bothered with others that want to setup their contest kiosk here.
Wasnt TRYING to be a dick Jackson, it just came off that way. I totally understand WHY you have to do all this BS, I just dont like it. I can arrange my fantasy circle jerks outside of Madjacksports to make it easy on all of us, I was just saying is typical that a few fukcheads screw everythig up.
