2021 SBR Betpoints Supercontest

[pimike]

Unfortunate for those who were trying to catch up to miss that week, but that's life, it happens, just gotta roll with it. I agree adding playoff games suddenly and so forth wouldn't be very fair either. Thanks to spider for the efforts!

Yes

Thanks Spider !!!!

[Easy-Rider 66]

THX spider. fairest thing to do here. week 18 is final week.

[ArunSh]

So with this paying Top 15, what score will be needed to cash with one week left?

I would have to guess 47.5 or 48.

[Cabo]

For Week 18, will there be 8,000 points or 12,000 points up for grab for those that beat spider's entry?

A minimum of 50 to be in the top 15.

[seaborneq]

there was 45 entries missing for week #17 due to forum being offline. thus the week will be voided.

That’s the fairest thing to do Spider. You have done a great job keeping the scoring and interest in the contest. Some of us will benefit from the decision some of us will lose out from the decision but it still is the fairest decision. Thanks Spider 🕷

[spider]

week 18 will be 8,000 pts for those that beat my picks.

the 4,000 pts from week 17 that was voided will be distributed to entries finishing in
places 16th to 19th in the final standings.

[ArunSh]

A minimum of 50 to be in the top 15.

Don't see how that really makes sense given going into the final week only 15 people have >= 45 (consensus obviously doesn't count). In order for 50 to be the minimum, would need both people with 45 to go 5-0, and the three above them to go at least 4-1 etc. That's pretty unlikely!

Depends how the near top people do in the final week of course (people who are say 11th - 26th), I could see it reaching as high as 49 to cash - guess we shall see!

Granted of course since spider has said 16th-19th will pseudo-cash, that changes the threshold a bit in theory! Again time will tell.

Agreed! Games got cancelled last 2 seasons in college sports, and still seasons were completed and champions determined. Gotta roll with the punches!

Don’t underestimate the folks at the top of the current standings. They are there because they are picking well. Not 4 one week and 1 the next week. Probably consistently getting 3 or 4 correct picks each week. So it shouldn’t surprise for those same folks who have consistently gotten 3-4 picks a week to focus the last week and get 4-5 the last week. Or choke.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Let's chop it up 50+ ways and give everyone a participation trophy!!

That's the way things are trending in the world nowadays

[playersonly69]

i wish that i had not forgot to make picks for 3 weeks. But I still would not have finished in the top 19 I dont think

[Sam Losco]

we can't change or make-up new rules on the last weekend of the contest.

huh? we just removed a weeks worth of picks…

[Easy-Rider 66]

huh? we just removed a weeks worth of picks…

for logical reasons Sam

[Sam Losco]

for logical reasons Sam

i understand why, but if that doesnt directly contradict what i quoted i dont know what would

[Easy-Rider 66]

i understand why, but if that doesnt directly contradict what i quoted i dont know what would

not sure what you mean?

[Easy-Rider 66]

I mean yeah I do not think a SBR Offline scenario was in the by laws. but shit happens. and this was the fairest and only way to resolve the issue? Agreed?

[Sam Losco]

not sure what you mean?

nowhere in the rules does it say we need x amount of entries submitted for a week to count. that was implemented and i understand why

when provided the logical solution of makeup games, the reply was “we cant change the rules”

hence me saying spiders reply i quoted is a contradiction, because he literally just changed the rules

[Sam Losco]

no, makeup games are

[Easy-Rider 66]

no, makeup games are

ok I understand your position. we could pick 10 games this week. but that might be a difficult deal for Spider. I guess it is what it is? Good luck week 18.

[Daniel Espinosa]

I thought there were going to be makeup games too. No makeup games only benefit the leader, but I guess whatever decision made was going to be somewhat controversial. Maybe adding a couple of games could be some middle ground? I don't have a shot anyway so I don't care that much tbh.

yeah at the end of the day it is what it is, im not pushing this too far. i do feel my opinion is worth being heard which is why i took the time.
this isnt a free contest, this was a 1500 point contest which was worth $100 sportsbook cash at the time. even though im out of contention, i feel i (we) are being wronged.
it might hard to grade 10 for spider but unfortunately sbr has the obligation to not abandon this contest, as it was started by a moderator. that should be the part of the deal for him taking over running it

anyways… best of luck to you as well easy!

il be honest, i was surprised to come in the thread and see no makeup being the decision, and it being accepted. completely unfair

im out as well but its the principal

OK Sam thx for the take. I know it benefits players like Pimke and I(to not have 5 extra games) but I would be fine either way. THX.

had no idea you were up top to be honest. when i said we, i didnt me a those behind you… sorry if it seemed like a shot at you. it wasnt, im talking about the competition as a whole

No Sam I did not take it that way at all. It hurts me trying to catch Pimke as well. But overall as you know I have no say in the matter.

[Daniel Espinosa]

I would say you are probably the most affected. Points are currently on a limbo, and despite that the difference between first and second is huge.

yeah I understand your point first place gets the 1K in BTC. rest of the placings pay in points only. But like I said I understand SBR's postion here so will carry on. Good thing for me if Pimke and I are tied I win the tiebreaker. see what happens.
