Can I do this? Dr. Jack

I want to hold a Peoples Choice Cappers contest for NFL and college football.
It would work like this.
For the next two weeks I would take nominations from posters on who they would like to see compete. At the end of two weeks I would set up a poll of the top 20 nominations. Each voter would get 3 votes. I would then take the top 10 vote getters. Should a top 10 capper opt out they may and be replaced by the 11th etc...
Each week the top 10 would submit their top three college and pro picks totals and sides based on lines from whomever decided upon. A capper may use a unit system or not but only up to 5 units.
At the end of the regular season who ever has the most units would be the peoples choice champion.
Probablly need a volunteer or to to assist but this would be a good way to crown a champion other then just popularity.

May I do this or is it against the rules?

I was trying to present an option that would incorporate units along with w-l records. Just thought if we could have the ones that alot of people watch and worry about it might be interesting

Summary
There seems to be alot of interest in several cappers. Let the posters decide who they would like to see go head to head. Also let the cappers use a unit system if they want. See who can accumulate the most units over the season. This makes it easy to see some of the records that people want to see.
If there is no interest so be it I dont really care but each week people worry about who posts what and for how many units etc... This puts them all in one thread. Hence a peoples choice winner
