Capping The Game and The Daily Sports Edge 2019 College Football Underdog Challenge! -- Cash Prizes
- Thread starter B.A.R.
- Start date
Welcome to Capping The Game and The Saturday Edge 2018 College Football Underdog Challenge!
This will be a season long contest that will be based solely on underdogs.
Goal:
*To have the most points at the end of the contest
*To have the most points at the end of a given week
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 Bookmaker.
*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 10 (Saturday, November 9th)
*The last official week is Week 14
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 12 picks for the entirety of the contest
*The most picks you can make are 42 total (that is 3 picks for all 14 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 an WKU loss.
Your point total for the week = 420 points
Okay, what happens if there is a TIE for the season long prize after Week 14?
*If there is a tie, we will implement a 5 game Bowl Playoff for those participants
That sounds great! But, is there a weekly prize in case I have a great week?
*There sure is! Weekly prizes will be handed out each week. In the event of a tie during a week, the member who posted ALL 3 of their picks first will be the winner that particular week(timestamps will be used).
This sounds simple and fun, just find some dogs! How am I eligible to enter?
*All CTG members with at least 50 posts by November 30th, 2018 will be eligible for the prize.
*You must be signed up for the TSE Newsletter before you will be granted access to the private forum
*All aliases will be prohibited from winning the prize at contests end
*Multiple entries are NOT Allowed
When will the Lines be Posted Each Week? Which Games are Eligible?
*Lines will be posted each Thursday by midday 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. Thursday morning lines will be our barometer. Please cap accordingly.
One More Question, What DO I WIN??

If you have met the criteria for entry, you should be able to find the forum via the below link. I believe @B.A.R. may be manually giving people access yet. So if you think you should have access and still do not, let us know in this thread.
Will check bud.
