MARCH JERSEY CONTEST HAS BEGUN!!!

With our successful beta test over the weekend the Jersey Contest is about to get underway again.  As soon as we have the "all clear" from the admin as far as erasing the beta-test scores I will open the game and post the link.  An enormous standing ovation goes to Manzell for getting this up and running in just a few weeks' time.  We are going to pitch this to other SBN sites so hopefully you'll see lots of contests going!

The link will be at the bottom of this post when the contest is open.

A Couple of Important Notes:

Because of the difficulty of implementing it into the scoring tables the "X" requirement is now dropped.  Every game is open.  You need not skip any, and in fact doing so would put you at a disadvantage.

Because of this, and because of the pain of bookkeeping and confusion it could cause, we have decided to alter our original plan about the February scores thusly:

--The contest starts brand new with everybody at zero points in the next game.  None of the February results count anymore.

--Because we did not give away a jersey in February we will still give away two in March.  The first and second place contestants will each get a jersey this month.

--To honor the people who did well in the aborted February contest prizes are being awarded to the top finisher overall and the top finisher who had an "X" already through the fourth February game against Dallas.  Those are:

Top finisher overall--Bfan  (303 points)
Top finisher with an "X"--DLippman (218 points)

Bfan and DLippman will each receive a t-shirt and, more importantly, automatic entry into the playoffs next month for a chance at the grand prize.  It's not a jersey but we were only four games in.  Seldom, if ever, has anyone led the whole month so this is actually a pretty good deal for both.

Watch right below for the link to the first official game of the March Jersey Contest!

The form is up! However the final question didn't make it on there. This game is still official, but you can't win a jersey for a perfect score.

Understandable ...
but still lame. I was smoking hot, en route to a thirteen game winning streak.

I should say ...
I am still happy to get a t-shirt, though. Now I will have something to hoop in.

fyi
Dave,

So can we still change our entry before the game or can we only submit once?

Also, the jersey contest rules link on the submission page has not been updated.

I kind of miss not being able to see what other people think will happen :(

I'll look at the rules soon.
Haven't had time yet.

You can re-submit all you want.  Each submission overwrites the last.  You can make changes in that manner up until game time.

The New Form Rocks my face off!
It will keep people from waiting for those that are ahead of them to post and either copy or go against what they have posted!  Not that I would do that but being the devil's advocate that I am!!!

Colonel Rondo and his second round armada? 

If Boston is determine to rebuild and cut salary isn’t two mid lotto pics and the right salary filler decent. Maybe not enough but better than what most teams get in that situation.  I would prefer that over the Chris Paul package.

I hope and figure that the Trail Blazers could have the best of both worlds. I’ve never seen a more bountiful 2nd round. Its conceivable that the team could deal both lotto picks and still find some nice players in the draft.  Players like Orlando Johnson, Lucas Nogueira, Kevin Jones, Will Barton are 1st rounders in most drafts even if its just based on hype and potential. Then you have some possible gems in such a deep draft like Machado, a couple guys that I personally like from Georgetown-their center Henry Sims and forward Hollis Tompson.  Both high upside players that I would love to watch in the summer league.  If PA were to ever buy into or trade into late first or second round now is the time. Give me Freeland, Diebler and four second rounders in the summer league with Rondo coaching.
