*** 2023 College Football Underdogs Contest ***

[Administrator]

Welcome to Capping The Game 2023/2024 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/week from the list given to you by contest administrators in the weekly thread. Lines WILL be PROVIDED from BOVADA
*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 the first FULL week (Thursday, August 31st)
*Entries will be taken until 7pm Saturday, October 21st
*Regular Season ends Saturday, November 25th
*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. Any more 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

Tennessee +235
UCLA +420
Colorado St +655

The above results see a Tennessee loss, an UCLA win and a Colorado State loss...

Your point total for the week = 420 points

Alright, 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?

*All CTG members with at least 50 posts by Friday, December 1st, 2023 will be eligible for the prize.

When will the Lines be Posted Each Week? Which Games are Eligible?

*Lines will be posted each by Thursday by a contest administrator.
*Only posted lines are available
*Only Thursday-Saturday games are used (exception will be Week 1).

Any Other Rules I Should Know?

*You may add picks as you go. Please quote your original pick(s) instead of editing. Timestamps will be used to ensure validity of posts. You may cancel a play and replace as long as it is before the respective kick-offs.
*Lines do not change. Wed Night/Thurs morning lines will be our barometer. Please cap accordingly.

New Payout for 2023!!

Myself or @ProV1Colt will post lines each week in a NEW thread. This will be done by Thursday morning.

This week I am going to include the Thursday night slate.

All lines will be via the same book. Lines do not change, so yes you can potentially have an advantage on some.

I just got home a bit ago, I will post this weeks lines by midnight Eastern.
