Here is the link: https://fantasy.espn.com/free-prize-games/sharer?challengeId=251&from=espn&context=GROUP_INVITE&edition=espn-en&groupId=43560b62-f318-46c8-8f9f-8ea219ef6f2e&joinKey=9637edb9-ac59-32a6-9430-38a2fed8e76f

$30 entry fee.  we'll pay out the top three.  probably 60-25-15 split.

once you sign up, pm me and i'll let you know how you can pay.  i can do venmo, paypal, cash app.  we typically end up with something in the neighborhood of $1000 in the pot.

@immamac pin if you feel so inclined.  at least until the start of bowl season.

New contract with WCC and PAC12.

The old Pac12 teams have 2 seasons to finish out their bowl affiliations.  Alamo is/was Big 12-Pac 12 so CU took the Pac 12 spot there.

Maybe a dumb question because I've never done this before but what is the point of the confidence points? Is one game really worth 40x what another game is worth? What's to keep someone from just going all chalk and putting them in reverse order of the point spread?

Try that and see if it works.

In the past, there've been people use all sorts of strategies.  It's up to you how you want to play it.

Gonna be in for 2 or 3 once I get my wife and son to log in to ESPN.

In for one. I was a little cocky last year when I said I was using all y'alls money on whiskey. This year, I just want to go back to kicking my family's ass

 

@Knoxtnhorn

Exactly why I didn't say I would continue to take all your money after pillaging ass in the Bracket challenge.

I will, but I didn't say it.

My ratings' picks I mean my picks are in. Hopefully they work as well as here as for the basketball seed draft but to be honest I don't like the way they look. But I can't stop using the numbers now.

Do we really have to make every single goddamn pick before kickoff tomorrow? 

Fuck ESPN and their shitful game design. 

You can change your pick and the number of points you assigned to a game up until kickoff of that game.

Yeah, but we're still apparently forced to go through and make "dummy picks" before we're allowed to save just our two picks for tomorrow's games. 

Maybe the desktop site doesn't require that - their overall usability in these contests is always so bad that it wouldn't surprise me one bit. 

Edit - nope, can't just partially complete and save on the desktop either. Gotta make hundreds of clicks to do the bare minimum.

Ok I signed up just now to catch the first game.  But it's not prompting me to pay via the site? 

See the first post for payment instructions. 

@BigOrange1 - just an idea, and I don't even know whether it's possible so maybe an idea dead on arrival, but since it seems like we have lackluster participation compared to past years, perhaps there's some merit to leaving the contest open to join even after the first game kicks off in an hour or so? If you left it open until kickoff Tuesday (or later?), then latecomers would be penalized in the sense of losing the potential points from their 1 or 2 point picks, but that's hardly disqualifying. 

Maybe some prompt enrolees might have an issue with that, and that's certainly understandable and reasonable, but I just thought I'd offer the idea just in case...

I don’t think so

 I think the ones you made and are played that day get locked in for picks and position but others you can change before the game.

I second this. They're only losing out on 1 point anyways.

Anyone else not able to see everyone else's pick for this game? Usually once the game starts we can see it.

I'm not able to see them either. 

But at least the rest of the interface sucks too!

somethings bugged. If you click the "2" for page 2, youll get page 2's picks then click page 1 then youll see the whole list of picks.

 

theres a whole ton of "all brain, not enough cock and balls" picks for the celebration bowl

1-0

 confidence level 1 because ESPN sucks and this shit is so hard to fucking navigate

 I’ve got all the playoffs in the top confidence slots like a psycho

 hint: cotton bowl champ (Texas) wins it all

yes, people can still join.  even after tonight they'd only be starting down 3 points at the most.

i always go through and pick every game before the contest starts and then adjust where i put them confidence points-wise on the day of the game.

I don’t know if I love or hate the confidence format. I think the games should be weighted but we should all have the same weighting per game, the more meaningful games having more value. 
 

These shit tier games are meaningless and I can’t force myself to give them higher confidence. 
 

Also Army/Navy should be in this 

That was the best game of the bowl season so far even though it’s not a bowl.

We've been doing it this way for like 15 years
