With the beginning of the NFL training camps, we will begin the sign-up for this year's contest. It really amazes me as I look back, this contest has grown in participants every year. I want to say a big ‘thank you’ to the Pregame community!
Mission Statement & Rules:
1. To deliver a fun and enjoyable DMan Westgate Style Contest 2022 with monetary incentives for the TOP FIVE Finishers.
2. Assume the purse is $9600 as last year: 1st Place=$5000, 2nd Place=$3000, 3rd Place=$1000, 4th & 5th Place=$300, the prizes are subject to change depending on the final sign-up #.
3. Each week on Wednesday by 11:00 p.m. ET, I will post a thread under the NFL tab on Pregame.com with the matchup and the spread for that week minus the Thursday night game (expect for Thanksgiving week). I will accept FIVE picks ATS from each participant under that week's thread till 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. There will be no changes allowed from the participant once selections are made.
4. Each participant will be graded on correct picks ATS with assigned value of a point, a push will be assigned .5 point, and a loss will be no point. For any COVID related games, if not played by the Tuesday of the following week, that selection will be assigned no point for neither team.
5. The last three weeks of the contest I will ask the top 5 participants to email their picks to me to avoid copying. I will respond with a confirmation after confirming your picks. The private picks will be published in the spreadsheet upon the 1:00 P.M. ET kick-off.
6. If no payment by 1 p.m. Kick-off time on September 11, 2022, the participant will be voided in the contest.
7. I will use google doc to keep track of the results and publish the weekly results in weekly selection thread. I will publish a weekly Top Ten standing in the following weekly thread.
8. Please send me your payment via "PayPal as a Friend" to fishzhang@yahoo.com. Do not mention gambling and in the message column please put your Pregame name so I can trace the $100 to the correct participant. Good luck in 2022 football season.
