2014-5 Sim Vegas Gamble-a-thon

Alright, gents.
With so much to do around this time of year (pressers, pick'ems, first DC's, and the wild wild trade market). I won't ask you to do a FULL season predictions. Also, points are worth more than ever, so I won't be asking you to give up too much of your points for a one-shot deal. Instead, for a 3 point entrance fee we're going to do 3 mini contests this season:
One for season predictions, but the twist is we'll start before Sim 2 (to give you some information and some extra time).
One will be an all-star pick'em as yet tbd.
One will be a playoff pick'em also tbd.
Your 3 points will go into 3 mini point banks for each contest. For each mini contest, the First place winner will get as many points as we have entrants minus 2. The second place winner will get 4 points.
For example: If we have 15 entrants, 1st place in each of the 3 contests will pay 13 points, and second place will get 4 points (a one point profit for the entire contest!!)
As a bonus, the team with the BEST combined score at the end of the season that won neither a first or second prize will win 6 points at the end of the season. So that's 7 chances to win!!
Now those doing the math (I'm looking at you, KuCoach) might be saying, "Hey. That's more money in prizes than we have in entrance fees!?"
Well you're totally right, buddy. Because I've received permission to add 12 POINTS TO THE OVERALL PRIZE POOL as an incentive for participation.
I'll be posting a thread for the first mini game soon that'll be due on WEDNESDAY 5/17/17. Feel free to post any questions here. You can sign up in either thread by posting 'in' and deducting 3 points from your bank.
Good luck!
