I hear you Slingzz ....
Here is a link to week 1 posts for this contest >>>>
Here is a repeat of the rules stated by Joe Public prior to week 1 >>>>
The RulesThis contest is
FOR FUN. You will
NOT win anything. Unless you're Webba. He is guaranteed some wax for his platypus bill, otherwise he doesn't participate. Don't yell at me, he worked it into his contract, if you wanted the same deal, you should have been a better negotiator.
Each week I will post the lines.
Lines come from here:
https://legend.jimfeist.com/Contests/HiltonContest.aspxYou get 5 picks, no more, no less.Scoring:
Win - 1 point
Push - .5 point
Loss - 0 points
It's really not that difficult.
The object
The object is to paper bet the real Hilton contest to see how you'd have done if you'd have paid the relatively expensive entrance fee. To see who can generate the best winning percentage over the course of an entire season.
Record keeping
Every year this starts and 100 people play. That lasts about three weeks. I will NOT keep your record for you because, frankly, outside of a handful of guys, I know you'll quit, or forget, or not care because you're doing badly or there's no prize. It's cool. But you're in charge of your own posted record until about midway through the season.
Also, POST YOUR RECORD IN YOUR THREAD.
Trust me, it will help in the long run.
**********************************************************************
If you ever need to check your record and cannot find it ....
either Joe can provide a link to previous week's contest thread
OR you can go to search ...and type Hilton under subject ..and you will see the threads in there ...
Most importantly ...since you get a point for a win , and half point for a tie ....you will get 0 points for a loss OR NOT POSTING .....
Also , I am the defending champion , I believe Joe Public won it the year prior ...
and it seems Jeff Sagarin from USA today as the unofficial participant always puts up a good fight ...!
It is very unfortunate that the only poster to have a perfect card did not even post for week 2 ....
That would be Wyo1
Now he only has 5 points through 2 weeks .....
this is why I am posting this as a reminder of the rules !
Greys29 has been helpful in the past with the updates
not only of Jeff Sagarin but of the leaderboard ....
this is necessary and we really appreciate it .....
Hope this helps .....
