Go ahead and generate the teams bro, its all good :tiphat:

 

[Tide High]

good point. gotta pay 3&4 the same i guess.

 

[martie55]

No problem with you picking them.

 

[mogo]

go ahead and pick.

 

[boz45]

Thats fine with me too...

 

[smith1051]

Make 3rd and 4th the same amount so you get rewarded for making the final 4

 

[wearo dog]

Show me the money........bitches

 

[mogo]

From my earlier post:

"As for payouts: I'd suggest 600 for 1st and 200 for 2nd. You can't really award a 3rd or 4th place. We COULD give a little to each team that makes the final 4, but you can't determine 3rd or 4th. We could do $50 for each final 4 team, and $600 to the winner. The final 2 teams could decide if they want to cut a deal or not."

 

[smith1051]

We could go:

1st $550
2nd $150
Other 2 Final Four Participants $50

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

We could go:

1st $550
2nd $150
Other 2 Final Four Participants $50

I'm fine with this...Winner wouldnt get the fill 550 b/c of fees, but it wouldn't be too much.

The only other option would be NOT to award the other 2 final 4 teams.

 

[Kramer]

go ahead and pick, and yea prob pay 3rd and 4th the same, $75?

 

[wearo dog]

I agree it would be good to go ahead and reward 3rd and 4th with $50.
They would at least get their entry fee back for making the final four.

 

[mogo]

i like:

1st $550
2nd $150
Other 2 Final Four Participants $50

 

[Tide High]

im with mogo or anything similar to that.

what's up with the fees? i thought we covered them already?

 

[wearo dog]

i like:

1st $550
2nd $150
Other 2 Final Four Participants $50

:cheers:

 

[madshooter]

i like:

1st $550

[CrazyBetter]

i dont know guys, that a HUGE jump from 2nd to 1st.

Like this better

1st $475
2nd $225
3-4 $50

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

I think we all agreed 3rd and 4th should get 50. Now let's decide on what 1st and 2nd get.

Also, should we use the OPENING or CLOSING lines from scoresodds.com? Closing lines would be easier to use...

And are we fine with RAISING the line by .5 to eliminate ties? Or should we lower it?

Let's try to get these questions answered first, then I'll generate the teams.

 

[CrazyBetter]

still liking what i proposed for 1st and 2nd

Not to sure, whatevers easier for you bro.

doesnt matter if its raised or lowered to me.

 

[smith1051]

I like the closing lines and also raising by .5

 

[wearo dog]

i dont know guys, that a HUGE jump from 2nd to 1st.

Like this better

1st $475
2nd $225
3-4 $50

I'm liking this.
Also closing lines for conveniece and raise the line .5 point is good idea.
Be. also appreciate you doing this. Now like I said before.....
Show me the money........Bitches

[mogo]

1st $475

If you don't want to do it or dont have time I'll be more than happy to do it tonight after I get off work. I'll be up pretty late looking over the bracket and games anyways.

 

[boz45]

agree ,closing lines raise the line .5 pt.

 

[boz45]

lets make the whole line thing clear. Scoreodds and is it the final line in the Current section or the last one in the current section?? heres a sample from today. i would assume we would use the 5 in black and and bump it to 5.5... just want to make sure its clear before thursdays.

[smith1051]

[Gorgolon Lives]

I'm gonna have 1kstate generate the teams. It will save me some time.

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

1kstate said he'll try to have em done tonight. We got plenty of time.:tiphat:

Yes, its the last #, listed under "current"...and that number will get raised .5

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

Money will be:

1st $475
2nd $225
3-4 $50

Minus the paypal fees...

 

[smith1051]

I just realized you could actually have more than 1 team in the FF if we get 1 team in each region. Of course it would take alot of luck 'an_horse'

 

[Kramer]

Anyway you can cut checks to pay the winners? Could save a lot of fees for the first place winner. No big deal just a thought...

 

[1kstate]
