What About A Bracket Style Capping Contest?

Basically it would be a bracket format with hopefully 64 guys. There would be 32 matches the first round (2 weeks per round, 5 picks each week). Winner moves on!!

example wk 1

BE vs. RJB
Cali vs Gerk

2 weeks of picks and winner moves on, loser done. There will be one man standing at the end.

Thoughts!

I think the mall could produce 64 players in the next week and half, but 32 for sure.

Def agree obv since its a pay thing. Would be impossible to find 64 willing to pay. I def would but I think youd be lucky to get 32 considering tomm is Sept. Good idea tho

Because short notice we could do $10 a man so that more would participate. $320 pot, $250 to winner, $50 to 2nd, and $20 to third. Maybe jack would know how to handle payment and maybe a sportsbook woul dsponsor some money too!

i dont think its the amount thats the problem, its getting it organized so everyone could send the payment in time. Most of the degenerates on this board including myself would actually rather do 25 than 10
