Exclamation Change In Prize Winnings

This post will probably piss off most of you and I am truly sorry that I have to do this.


Due to loss of revenue on the site this past year I have to drop the overall prize money for the picks of the week contest


I hope that this does not cause some of you to walk away from the rant becuase I am lying or am breaking a promise, but I have to do this
I am not willing to use personal income to pay for the winnings and I have $ 1000.00 allocated for the total prize money.

So the winnings for this year will be as follows:

1st place > $400.00
2nd place > $300.00
3rd place > $150.00
4th place > $100.00
5th place > $50.00


Again I am sorry about this, but it is what I must do!

Thanks,
Mike

You gotta do what you gotta do, since rules are changing I would not pay any members who are not "active"....the contributing members should be the beneficiaries of the contest.

next season it will be only for active members > will win prize money

Again sorry for the changes, really nothing I could do about it!

LMAO no way I finish first.

Mike, screw the non active members...they do nothing for this site not one damn thing and you will reward them with money? No real members care about the reductions in money, what they care about is the lurkers who only come on once a week to make their picks and leave. I say F them!!

okay do this

Maybe make a list of winners if I was only including the active members, let me compare that against what the list says

If I win, what do I get? oh wait, nothing

If you win Mikeee and its legit, you can take your payout, thus saving you even more money, thats fine with me. As long as the Non-Actives get nothing but a Rant hat!
