If Contest Ended Today?

Hey I just want to make sure everyone understands how the prizes will be given.

Look at the leader board and then tell me how you think the payouts would be distributed!

Post your ideas here!

Uhh anyone with no posts is disregarded. The rest of the field are paid out according to the ranks and the money is distributed in that manner.

Honestly Mike for next year you may want to do a weekly tie breaker ala picking the team to score the highest and lowest points or predicting the MNF score or something.

Yeah next season, I may do it via the points on mondays! Oh and you will have to post to be apart of it. I will not send out any emails about the contest except to the ones that are in it this year!

OH okay, sorry... by "ideas", i thought you meant you were looking for ideas on how to do it, like suggestions.

I dont' think there needs to be tie breakers, this way there could be money paid out to more people.

I like the idea of requiring people to post in order to play. Even one post each week would work. I cannot even begin to understand why more people don't post on this site.
