EOG Dedicated
Welcome back to Season 2.

The rules are pretty much the same as last year, except a new one regarding if there actually is a forfeit, see near the bottom of the rules for further details.

We are now open to the entire EOG community for sign ups.

Please private message me to confirm your sign up and to arrange your entry fee.

Once again, BetDSI is doing a 10% contribution to the total prize pool.

Official Rules:

This contest will emulate the SuperContest, and all SuperContest rules will apply unless otherwise noted. The contest will be administrated by John Kelly (JK) and yours truly, Keith (mrbowling300)

This contest is open to a maximum field of 40 participants on a first-come, first-serve basis. Only one entry is allowed per person. After 40 confirmed entries, the contest will be closed.

The entry fee will be $250. Funds can be submitted to the paypal / venmo of mrbowling300. To be officially entered, your entry fee will need to have been received and confirmed.

BetDSI is kind enough to contribute an additional 10% to the prize fund up to a maximum of $1,000, which makes for an attractive overlay. We thank BetDSI very much for their contribution to this contest.

Please be sure to visit BetDSI at https://www.betdsi.eu/

Deadline to enter is 3pm PT / 6pm ET, Saturday, September 11, 2021 unless we reach 40 entries sooner.

The contest will begin Wednesday, September 8, 2021, and conclude Sunday, January 9, 2022 (provided no games are in delay, explained below).

We will use officefootballpool.com to manage the contest. There will be full disclosure at all times. Any disputes will be heard by John Kelly.

If you wish to enter the contest, simply send a PayPal to keith@rknpc.com or venmo to @Keith-Kingston

If you are concerned about my personal integrity, John Kelly has known me for 20 years and can certainly verify me, as well as others on EOG. I anticipate a very smooth and successful contest season (as long as Covid doesn’t interfere). The funds will be held in my savings account. John Kelly and I are not eligible to participate in the contest. Plus having gone through running the contest last year, any of the contestants can attest to how it was run.

The contest is based on selecting winning teams against the spread. The spread used will be the official Super Contest lines, which are static. Contestants must select 5 professional football teams per week. Contestants may not select both sides of the same game on a single entry. The lines are typically announced by about 3PM / 6pm ET on each Wednesday during the NFL football season, and they will be circulated to all contestants as soon as they are available.

Contest winners will be determined by total number of points accumulated during the professional football regular season. Each winning selection against the contest line will count as one (1) point. Ties (pushes) against the contest line count as one half (1/2) point.

Contestants must submit their weekly selections anytime between each Wednesday at 5pm PT / 8pm ET after the Super Contest announces their contest lines and Saturday 11pm PT / Sunday 2am ET, which is the deadline for the week. In the event a contestant wishes to use any games that start prior to the Saturday 11pm PT / Sunday 2am ET weekly entry deadline, then their entire 5 game weekly selections must be submitted prior to the start of the first game. i.e., you wish to use a Thursday game, you must submit all 5 of your games for the remainder of the NFL week prior to kickoff of the Thursday game. Once your five games have been submitted, then they are locked in. You cannot change your selections once submitted.

Contestants who fail to submit their weekly selections by the Saturday 11pm PT / Sunday 2am ET deadline to submit your selections will be awarded zero (0) points for the week. THIS IS STRICTLY ENFORCED.

Since officefootballpool.com does not have a mechanism to lock in your selections when made, you will be required to submit your entries via our own contest website entry form, which we used last year. The website generates an email with a time stamp. You will receive an acknowledgement. Your selections will then be entered into the officefootballpool.com site for record keeping purposes. Sunday morning, you will be given the grid of everyone’s entries for the week, as well as the subsequent results for the week and year to date standings.

Top 3 finishers in the contest after the end of the NFL season will receive a percentage payout of all entries collected. First place will receive 60% of the total prize fund, second place will receive 30%, and third place will receive 10%. If there is a tie for first and second, then the split is (60+30) / 2 or 45% each, and so forth.

The professional football regular season must consist of 10 full weeks for the contest to be considered valid. If the regular season is less than 10 full weeks, then the contest will be considered no action, and all entry fees will be refunded.

As a default, the contest will use the Westgate Super book house rules, unless otherwise stipulated in these contest rules.

For contest purposes, all games are action despite a location change. In the event a game cancellation or postponement, the game must be played by Tuesday at 11:59PM PT of the current week to be applied toward contest standings or contestant will be awarded zero points for that game.

In the event of an NFL team forfeiting a game, the winning team will be awarded 1.0 points and the forfeiting team will be awarded 0 points. This rule does not apply to games that are canceled and/or postponed.

If you have any questions, please private message JK or myself.

Best of luck, and once again, thank you to BetDSI for presenting the contest and their generous contribution, and thank you to EOG for hosting the contest.

I dont know what the complaint is about, but it doesn't have anything to do with me. The handicapping contest I ran last year paid out all funds as promised, by Monday after the season was over, bet DSI kicked in their 10% as promised. The prize fund was held in a segregated Bank account I set up. Other than the $1.25 in interest i earned, I took no administrative fee, as I love running these types of things.
