MLB Survivor Segment #6 (enter before the deadline!)
MLB SURVIVOR – SEGMENT #6--enter before May 21st @ 1:07 p.m. EST
SCF MLB Survivor:
How To Play:
1) Simply post the name of only one team every day that you think will win that day's game. If your team wins, you'll stay alive to guess for the next day. If your team loses, you're eliminated. If you fail to make a guess for a particular day's games prior to the start of the first MLB game of the day, you're eliminated. Posting only "New York" or "Los Angeles" or "Chicago" will disqualify you if both NY/LA/Chicago teams are playing that day. It is strongly recommended that you post both the team's city and nickname. Once a survivor segment has started, no new entrants may join until the segment is over (when we get down to one member remaining who wins the game!). Once a segment is over, we will post a new segment or round and people will have a new deadline to enter their picks for the first game again.
NOTE: On days when a team is playing a doubleheader, you must clarify which game you are picking your team for (game #1 or game #2 of the doubleheader)
2) Editing of original posts (guesses) will disqualify that player. If you want to change your guess, simply make a new post stating the change that you would like to make before the stated deadline.
3) Your streak will not end if your team's game is rained out or otherwise just not played. Your streak will simply be a day behind but you will not be eliminated until you make an incorrect guess. You may continue to make guesses until eliminated.
4) Contest is open to all members of SCF including staff. You must enter by the initial deadline set for the current segment. Remember, once you choose a losing team throughout this segment, you are eliminated until the next SCF MLB Survivor contest segment or round begins.A new thread will be started for each segment.
5) Check this thread each day for a Yahoo link that lists the MLB games that are scheduled from which you may pick your team. The list of “survivors” and their picks for the next game will be updated after each day's games. If for some reason the next schedule is not posted, it is the contestants responsibility to ensure they post their next pick prior to the first MLB game of the day to prevent from being eliminated.
6) The total prize pool is 250cc!!
7) Survive the longest and win! The survivor who lasts the longest before being eliminated will win the prize pool for that particular segment. If there is a tie, the winning survivors will share the cc prize equally.
8) Any participant who survives 10 MLB games (a 10-game streak) wins a 50 cc bonus. A 20 cc bonus will also be awarded for EACH correct guess that extends the 10-game streak. Thus, a 15-game streak will win you 150 bonus cc (50 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 = 150 cc)! So put some thought into your guesses. With this in mind, the survivor contest will continue, even with one person left until the last remaining person picks a losing team.
Post your picks for Game #1 and Game #2 in this thread. Only those who survive Game #1 will actually move on to Game #2. Check this thread every day to make sure your picks are in to keep from being eliminated for not picking a team by the deadline. I will accept picks from those who have survived as long as they are posted before the start time of the first scheduled game of the day (deadline for each day). Therefore, it is imperative that entrants keep an eye on the schedule for each day whether it is posted in this thread or not.
If you survive Game #1 you will then be allowed to post your pick early for Game #3. However, your pick for game #3 will only be counted if you survive game #2. If you survive Game #2, then you post your pick for Game #4. You must survive Game #3 for your pick for Game #4 to count and so on. You don't have to post your pick early, but make sure your pick is in by the start of the first scheduled game for that day. Entrants will be listed below. I will update this thread daily as people are eliminated. Good luck!
No new entrants for SEGMENT #6 will be allowed once the first MLB game for this segment starts.
