Welcome to Capping The Game 2021 Underdog Contest!

This will be a season long contest that will be based solely on underdogs.

Goal:

*To advance to the Underdog Playoffs!
*Top 7(and ties) will advance to the Playoffs

How Does the Contest Work?

*You will pick 3 underdogs per week from the available numbers given to you by contest administrators in the weekly thread. Lines will be from Betonline.
*Only wins will be used. Losses/ties will be considered as 0 points.

When Does the Contest Start and When Does it End?

*The Contest will start with Week 1 (Week 0 is not available).
*Entries will be taken until 7pm eastern in Week 8 (Saturday, October 23rd)
*Regular Season ends Saturday, November 27th
*Playoffs Start the following week with Championship Week and run through bowl season

So, What are the Rules?

*You must make exactly 3 picks in any given week. Anymore or less and you are graded as having not played that week.
*You must make at minimum 18 picks for the entirety of the contest.
*The most picks you can make are 39 total (that is 3 picks for all 13 weeks)

Tell me about the Scoring!

*Here is an example entry for one week

Purdue +235
Arizona State +420
Western Kentucky +655

The above results see a Purdue loss, an ASU win and a WKU loss.

Your point total for the week = 420 points

Alright BAR, can you explain this contest for me in simple terms?

Sure, this is a regular season long contest of playing simply underdogs. We will then take our top 7 finishers (and any ties) to a playoff round that consists of Championship Week and the Bowl Season. That will crown our winners!

Okay, so how does the playoff round work?

Easy. The members that advance to the playoff round will have NINE selections to use throughout championship week and the Bowl games. They may use them as they wish, and are NOT required to use all selections but are encouraged to do so. Tiebreakers will be implemented via the National Championship Game if needed.

This sounds simple and fun, just find some dogs! How am I eligible to enter?

This will be a Q&A thread till we open the season for any newbies.

Hopefully we get as great of a turnout as we have in the previous editions. This is my favorite CTG contest that we have done, a total brainchild of @ProV1Colt a few years back and we want to keep making it bigger and better.

No week zero, we'll likely post lines a bit early for Week 1 though, guessing on Tuesday, August 31st.
