ALL DAILY POSTS FOR THIS CONTEST WILL BE POSTED IN THE MAIN CONTEST FORUM.
THIS IS MERELY AN INFORMATIVE POST

Welcome to another edition of SCF’s 2011 MLB Guess The Score (GTS) Contest. For full rules and how to play, click here, but for simplicity’s sake the following is basically all you’ll need to know.

Simply post your guess for the outcome (winning team & score) of today’s matchup. The winner will receive 25 Card Cash (CC) with the user winning the most daily competitions receiving 100CC at the season’s end.

All posts should include your pick of the winning team and the score. An example post would read as such: “St. Louis Cardinals 10-3.”

The winner will be whoever guesses not only the winning team but whose guess is also closest to the final score of the game. Unlike the Price is Right, over-guessing and under-guessing are worth same amount here, so guesses of 4 and 6 are both the same distance away from an actual score of 5.

In the event no one correctly guesses the winning team and exact score, a series of tie-breakers will be used, which are fully explained at the aforementioned link.

This contest is open to all members of SCF (staff included).

All guesses must be in by the game’s stated starting time - any posts submitted after the game has started will not be counted.

You may edit your posts before the game begins, but once the game has started no editing of posts will be permitted. Posts edited after the game has begun (all edits on SCF are time-stamped) will be disqualified.

Guesses are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please read or search the thread to make sure your guess hasn’t already been taken. If someone posts your guess before you, simply edit your post with another guess before game time.

no offense, because i think all the contests on here are cool but, 100ccs for a prize that takes 6 months of work? that's like 50 cents? can't we get mike or someone to come a little better than that!

The reason the cc pyout is only 100 at the end is because we run so many contests that we have to spread our cc out. If we put too much cc into circulation it becomes undervalued and too easy to come by. That's the same reason why the us doesn't just print more money arbitrarily. But if u think about how much total cc is involved at 25 daily and 100 at the end of the season there's a total of 4150 cc alone. Not to mention the random multi-game days well have. And it's not too much work on your end to just guess a team daily. I'll be the one keeping track of the standings and making the post daily.
