Pickem League: Money Edition Potential Rules Voting

[BrometheusBob.]

Yea I think that could be something worth playing around with. I think it makes more sense than the current method & is superior to what they do on Boxrec. I'd like to see more cats yay or nay it doe.



Man that is probably the 2nd biggest issue to the escrow one cuz its spread out pretty wide. Here's the list of what people are saying they are willing to pay for an entry fee:

*TonyMontana*, $100
NC Uppercut, $50-$100
Fetta, $10-$100
FinitoxDinamita, $10-$100
Eff Pandas, $10-$100
Motorcity Cobra, $50
Szef, $50
hhs661, $20-$50
BrometheusBob., $10-$50
OnlyBeingHonest, $50
Koba-Grozny, $25
-MEGA-, $20
mlac, $15
Pigeons, $10
Rampad, Interested, haven't stated $
-Kev-, Interested, haven't stated $
ShoulderRoll, Interested, haven't stated $
A.K, Interested, haven't stated $

So 18 people interested so far. 4 idk what they are willing to get in for.

Of the 14 who've stated an opinion.

5 max out at $100
5 max out at $50
4 are in at the $10-$25 level

Thats why I was suggesting having entry fee levels to have max people in without requiring people to make a decision on throwing more then they are comfortable with or not be involved.

We would have a $500 prize pool at a $100 entry fee with only 5 players.

We would have a $500 prize pool at a $50 entry fee with 10 players.

Or we would have a combined $740 prize pool ($140/$400/$200) with a 3 tiered entry fee ($10, $50 & $100) with 14 players.

Would the entry fee levels work like a hand of poker where there are multiple all ins? In other words they create separate pots and you can only win from each person what you've matched? Kind of an interesting scheme. Complicated though.

Maybe we cut down somewhere around $25, I bet you could get everyone in for that.

Yea basically. Thats the example I was using in the other thread actually.

And yea a bit complicated I agree.

Would look like this with Shoulder's info included now:
$10 Entry Fee (15 guys x $10) = $150 Prize Pool
$50 Entry Fee (11 guys x $40) = $440 Prize Pool
$100 Entry Fee (6 guys x $50) = $300 Prize Pool

$890 Combined Prize Pool

Maybe we cut down somewhere around $25, I bet you could get everyone in for that.

Finding some agreeable middle ground would be the other play cuz I know some cats are wanting to play for "real money" & some cats are in for sh^ts & giggles & aren't looking to break the bank on a game. But there has gotta be some optimal middle ground. Is it $25? Maybe.

$25 Entry Fee (15 guys) = $375 Prize Pool

I'd like to mention for y'alls consideration - I originally had a dominant option, along with per round KOs, but this made it too many options to put on a poll and many people felt the old submission style was too complicated.

If it's the case that most of you would like all the old options back as they were, we can go full BoxRec style again for the money league.

There is a lot to be said for keeping sh^t simple. I prefer the option you went to with KO's doe. Pinpointing the exact round seems like hitting the lotto. But I think the disparity between decisions isn't as great as maybe it should be.

Their dominant option is sooooooo dominant doe lol. Really close>Dominant.

Bump..........

I'm fine with the current rules, man, but I'll happily consider any suggested changes.

One little thing Id like to see is less points for detail and more for other two.Like 20 for result and 7 for how(KO,dec)and 3 for the score.We all know these judges don't always come too close to what most see.

So how many fights does this go? Is it year, month, per fight?

Other than that I'm in

It'd be 12mos from the start. I'm thinking it could roughly begin in 2-4 weeks.

The # of fights it'd end up being will be dependent on how we decide to go about choosing them & we haven't really discussed that much. Due to the people involved with this version of the game likely being among the more hardcore fans I think we could easily have 1.5x-3x the number of fights as the free contest which gives it a wide-ish range of about 45ish to 90ish I believe. But thats just me thinking outloud.

Could just keep this simple to & hijack the free games choices.

I asked customer service from LeagueSafe to comment on how we might use their site for our escrow. This is what they suggested:

What you can do is just set up an NFL 2018 league for this. This way, deposits could be allowed until September 2018 and payouts could be made after December 2018. You could certainly set the payment deadline to March 2018 and wait to allocate the funds until March 2019. That will be the best option for this.

Let us know if you have any other questions.
Have a great day.

I think it's a good option

I didn't look into this yesterday, like I was aiming towards, but I'll check it out today.

If everything checks out we could likely start accepting entry fees sometime next week with a mid-Feb. start date.
