We normally have some our posters reduce their participation towards the end of the season because they are too far back to place in the contests. Thus, I am always trying to think of ways to make the contests interesting for the entire season.

Here are some changes I'm going to implement immediately. I welcome any feedback.


Here are our 5 contests:


Contest 5: Early Season Non-Conference Contest (only games that UNC participating )
Winners: Top 6 players win 3-month subscription to Premium
7 games

  • Battle for Atlantis (Possible opponents - Arkansas, Memphis, Michigan, Texas Tech, Villanova)
  • Tennessee (ACC/SEC Challenge)
  • UConn (Jimmy V Classic)
  • Kentucky (CBS Sports Classic)
  • Oklahoma (Jumpman Invitational)


Contest Rules:
Contest #1: Total points for entire season (SEE CHANGE BELOW)
Contest #2: Reset: Total points after game #15
Contest #3: Final Four Pool Bracket (Top 64 players)
Contest #4 Grand Prize: Total points ACC and NCAA tournaments games through title game (contest continues even if UNC eliminated)
Contest #5 Early Season Non-Conference Contest


CHANGES
Contest #1: Winners will be declared immediately after game #15.
Prizes will be distributed within 2 weeks.


Contest #5: Winners will be declared immediately after Oklahoma game (Jumpman Invitational)
Prizes will be distributed within 2 weeks.



I want to get these prizes out quicker, plus reduce the amount of administrated work which helps me reduce the errors. Thus, after game #15 everyone gets a fresh start and hopefully we can get more participation in Contest# 2 for the rest of the season.

Also, I may increase triple point games to help reduce runaway winners (smile).

There are a couple of administrated issues with a couple of winners from last year. I hope to get these issues resolved today and get your subscriptions processed. Please look for an email and please follow the instructions.

Finally, I personally play for the fun of it. I will donate any prize that I win this year.

Go Heels!
