Ok folks, as promised, we will be having the second edition of the PPPP(Private Petey's Pick the Pitches contest) here at Madjacks. The first go-round(Private Petey's Pick the Personal fouls) here was such a rousing success that it just couldn't be denied. We just have to do this. As most of you know, this is and will continue to be the finest contest of it's kind on the net today.

We have a sponsor lined up before we start, this time. Of course the sponsor is once again madjacksports.

First Prize- $500 put into Infinity Sportsbook. This means that if you aren't already in the blockbuster contest that they are running for football, you will be now, along with the 5 bones to bet with as you will. In this case, the rollover rules will apply.

If you already are in the contest, or choose not to accept the conditions, then the first place winner will receive $200 cash.


Second Prize- $250 put into Infinity. As allowed for in their football contest rules, this will get second place a "half-share" in the contest along with the dough to bet with. Their rollover rules obviously apply.

If the second place finisher chooses not to accept the Infinity betting account prize, then they will receive $100 cash.


The rules are simple:

The contest will run from the baseball games of Monday 7/15 through the games of Sunday 8/4.

3 weeks.

Each day we will pick the total number of pitches made by the starting pitchers combined in every game on the slate. As in every PPPP contest, the lower the score the better. If you guess "345" and the total it "445", your score will be "100". I WILL NOT HOLD YOUR HAND IN THIS CONTEST LIKE I DID IN THE LAST ONE!!!!!! THESE RULES ARE SELF-EXPLANATORY (NIGHTHORSE). ANY SHENNANIGANS LIKE BARFLY TRIED TO PULL LAST TIME WILL RESULT IN AN AUTOMATIC EXPULSION!!!!!!

You can only miss 3 days out of the 21 to be eiligible. Each day you miss will be considered a mulligan. Only 3 mulligan's are allowed.

Just like last time, a thread will be posted in a timely manner by me every day and standings will be updated regularly. DO NOT PUT YOUR PICKS IN ANY OTHER THREAD. THEY WILL BE DISALLOWED AND YOU WILL BE ASSIGNED A MULLIGAN!!!!! AND YOU DON'T WANT THAT!!!!!

Everybody will have a score for each of the 21 days. Mulligan days will be the average of each of your other scored days.

Ex: somebody plays 10 days straight with an average of 34 and then takes a mulligan. That person will have a score of 34 on their mulligan day.

Ex: Somebody takes two mulligans on the first two days, then their score on the third day will be tripled.

GOT IT???????

Billiam, yes, just post your pick in my thread on the 15th and each day afterwards. I'm going to play also, so i'll start a thread with my pick in it and you just post under it. The lower is better scoring is simple. You want to get as close as possible to the actual number of total pitches from the starting pitchers. So, if you guess 300 and there actually were 304, your score would be (4). If you guessed 270, you would be off by (34), so that would be your score. Each of the 21 days will have a score, so the total lowest score wins.

I see we have our first resident smart-ass for the PPPP(2). BOBBY BLUECHIP, LISTEN BUDDY, I'M NOT PLAYING THAT THIS TIME AROUND!!!! I MEANT EXPULSION FROM THE CONTEST NOT FROM THE SITE. GET IT TOGETHER MAN!!!!

Ronnieseah, if you have specific questions, please ask.


And as always, thanks to everybody for your interest in the PPPP(2), the premier contest of it's kind on the net today!!!

IF the actual pitch count was 500 & you post 475 you would score 25 .IF you post 525 would you score 25 also?or is it under only? THANKS for the effort.

Guy, exactly right, each player would score 25. Good question. We toyed with the "without going over" trick in the PPPP(1), but it didn't really work out.

Thanks.

T-shirts

T-shirts

Madjack reminded me about something that I forgot in my initial post.

The top 7 finishers will receive a madjack t-shirt. Maybe not a huge deal, but the t's are pretty cool, great quality, as the participants in the last PPPP contest can attest to.

Thanks again for your interest in the premier contest of it's kind on the net today!

Oh, and one more rule that I forgot to mention. NO FLIRTING AMONG CONTESTANTS WILL BE ALLOWED IN THE PICKS THREAD. TAKE THAT CRAP TO THE GENERAL FORUM OR THE STANDINGS THREAD (BARFLY AND HOOTERS). MAKE YOUR DATE, DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, BUT DO IT ELSEWHERE!!!! I'M NOT HAVING IT THIS TIME!!!!

Njsf25G and Dude, hope to have you gentlemen in the PPPP(2). You both gave it a hell of a run in the first one. Even better prizes in this one!

Guy, we will use espn again. We used it last time and there were no disputes. We will use NSS as a back-up.

Vanbasten, IF WE WERE LOOKING TO HAVE "FUN" HERE, WE WOULD ALL POST OUR FAVORITE CARNIVAL RIDES. THIS IS A SERIOUS HANDICAPPING CONTEST. THERE IS NO TIME TO MESS AROUND WITH ALL THAT OTHER STUFF. DO YOU WANT TO IMPROVE, DO YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY OR DO YOU WANT TO HAVE "FUN"? THERE'S A PINBALL MACHINE FORUM I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT IF YOU WANT "FUN".

Once again, thanks to all for your interest in the PPPP(2), the premier contest of it's kind on the net today.
