      What do you think of this for a format?
      Rules
      1. Contest will run for 4 weeks, from Sunday Aug 9th - Friday Sep 4.
      2. Pick 5 games per week, sides or totals.
      3. Lines will be taken from the Tuesday 'Sheridan's odds' which are published on the USAToday website http://www.usatoday.com/sports/default.htm
      4. All 5 picks must be submitted prior to the start of the first game in your group of selections.
      5. Wins count as 1 pt, ties will count as 1/2 pt and losses count as 0.
      6. If a tie-breaker is needed, we will use the closest to the total pts scored in the 3 games combined played on Fri Sep 4. These are the last 3 games of the preseason and everyone will pick a total prior to the start of the first game that day.
      Prize of $100 will go to the one person with the highest score.

        can you stagger ur plays, or do you have to submit all 5 at the same time? Never mind, just read the answer in ur rules.

          Since Tue has already past if anyone wants to use sundays plays, i recommend we use this Fridays line for Week 1 and Tue thereafter.

            It would be much easier to score if all 5 picks were submitted at once. That was my main concern.

                I'll do that Friday as suggested. Are these rules OK with everyone? See anything I missed?

                  I just thought of something though. Since the games are so spread out, USAToday may not publish them all on the same day. If they don't have them all tomorrow, or at any time during the season I'll just use the odds from the sports.com sportsbook. For this week I'll post them tomorrow, and thereafter we'll shoot for Tuesdays, if that's OK with everyone.
