NFL 2012 Contest Sign-Up Thread

Postby HMFFL on Wed Apr 25, 2012 12:11 am

Some of you are familiar with the NBA and MLB contest that have been going on this year. I intend on hosting one for the NFL as well. I would like to gauge the interest so reply to this thread if you're interested.

The buy-in will be $10, and the winner takes all, so the payout will be substantial depending on how many people participate. PAYMENT: Your $10 can be made via paypal as a GIFT or by mail depending on what you prefer. PAYOUT will be made via mail. PM me for email address to send your buy-in.

The contest will consist of questions that relate to the game, players, total points scored in a game, and other props. For instance:

(Only Examples)
1) Atlanta +2 @ Tampa Bay
2) Atlanta @ Tampa Bay O/U 42 points (Total combined score of the game)
3) Will Michael Vick rush for a touchdown in week one?

Here are the official threads for the NBA and MLB contest to give you an idea.

I almost jumped in on the MLB one, definitely want in on this. What's the deal though, is it every week 10 bucks, or just one season 10 bucks?

For the entire season it's a one time fee of $10 for your buy-in. The winner takes all so the payout could be very good. I'd like to start things off shortly after the projected win totals come out.

Will we pick every game? Or like NBA just a select few?

It won't be every game.

I expect a large turnout so there won't be a many weekly contest picks. I want to start things off with the projected win totals as the first pick, division winners like the NBA contest, and possibly rookie of the year. The more people, the bigger the payout.

I'm considering having a separate contest for the pick'em on yahoo as well. I think that would be interesting if we would have a decent amount of people to join. That would also have a buy-in and as always the winner takes all.

Any suggestions or feedback is always welcome.

Id be down for picking as many games as possible, helps make comebacks easier and relies more on skill than luck (though involves a large amount of luck)

either way I'm on board.

I prefer less options since I have to keep track of the scoring. It's going to depend on how many people participate, I expect the turnout to be large, but I could be wrong, so we'll see what the numbers look like when the time comes.

Up the buy in to $20 + on this one and make it a little more interesting?
I could see this one gaining traction and winding up like 40 or 50 heads.
