Hello BF.com regulars! AZ BU is back and better than ever after mostly hibernating on this forum over the hot season here in Az (May - Nov).
The 2014-15 version of the ever popular MVC Regular Season Game Pick Em Contest will start with the opening MVC games on Wed Dec 31, 2014 and on Thurs Jan 1, 2015!
For those new to the forum, or, posters who have memories shorter than the list of sellouts at Carver over the past four years, here's how this Pick Em contest works:
1. Before each round of the 18 x MVC Regular Season games in the 2014-15 season, AZ BU will post a thread with the dates.times of the games, and the match ups.
2. Posters who would like to participate need to post their game picks (out right winners), BEFORE the first game tips off (typically a couple hours before the 1st game to tip off).
3. Participants can not alter their original posted picks; only one entry for each of the 18 game schedule will be allowed.
4. BU AZ Fan typically does not allow participants to post picks for a given game after the first game has tipped off - however you can plead your case. Your dog eating your posts, or a power/internet failure will not be considered in this age of smart phones. At best, you might be able to post picks for games who haven't tipped off yet.
5. After each round of the 18 MVC Regular Games, BU AZ Fan will report game results, and, the results of the participants picks along with season to date standings.
6. There is:
7. The contest is free, and the only prizes are the recognition winners will receive from other viewers of this Forum.
8. Participants will have to endure the non stop visual puns, bad jokes, BU Haiku, and Song Parodies AZ BU Fan inflicts on this Forum (a very small price to pay!).
NOTE: This Contest is not for the faint hearted, or forgetful. It is a 18 game marathon, that requires participants to post their game picks twice a week, often on short notice as time between games (Game 1 vs Game 2, Game 2 vs Game 3, et al) can be as short as a day or two.
You will HAVE TO keep up and post picks promptly - at least twice a week. Failure to post picks on time has dashed the hopes of many rookie participants who ultimately drop off after missing posting one or more times.
With separate FH and LH Contests, no need to give up though.
Last season saw the highly talented Da Coach join the Pick Em Contest. There was a spirited battle all season between DC and various other posters for 1st Place. DC won out after the Game 18 picks were tallied, as the final couple game picks made the difference.
This year, I am hoping the equally talented Tornado will also join in the Pick Em. He has no reason to not show his stuff!
Finally, this is not a BU loyalty contest! No one will criticize or make fun of ANYONE who picks AGAINST BU in certain MVC games. What is posted in this Contest, stays in the Contest. No one will question who is the most loyal BU fan based on their game picks!
