Pre March Madness Contest 2/1/11 post here

Don't forget this contest is closed for entry.

Reminder you only get points for WINS and PUSHES. Most points win so it makes sense to post 3 picks per day (all in one post). Read rules for more.

Everyone will use the same odds. I will post a daily thread and chris46139 will score contest. For the contest purpose, I will use odds from thegreek.

Odds will be posted each day by Noon EST on weeknights and early on weekends.

Max of 3 picks per day. All sides, no totals. All games will be one unit.

Each player will receive 1 point for each correct win and .5 for each push.

You must type the teams you are picking clearly with the odds listed. If we have to waste time figuring out your abbreviations it will be a loss. Please take the time to type out names clearly to make scoring easier.

There is no penalty for not making 3 per day or missing a day since you only get credit for wins.

You must post all 3 picks in one post at the same time.

You may post your picks anytime the day as long as before 1st game starts.

In the event a game gets postponed that you picked, you may pick one additional game the other day. This will be only circumstance.

Anything else comes up we will decide as we go.

Prizes
