Official 2009-2010 UFFSB Rules and Regs

Let's get ready to fake gamble.

This season's official Rules and Regs are below. Any comments, questions, or concerns...please call Eller.

Rule 1 - Entry Fee
Entry fee is $30 for the year. Send directly to:
Mike Shade
1706 Foxhall Ln
Greensboro, NC 27410
Deadline for funds is Week 3. If you miss the deadline, you will stop getting weekly allowances until you're paid up.

Rule 2 - Winnings
The Unified Fund has 12 players this year, we'll pay out one more position. Payouts will be as follows:
1st place - $200.
2nd place - $80.
3rd place - $50
4th place - $30.

Rule 3 - Allowances
Each week, each competitor will receive $100 fantasy dollars to bet with. Any winnings add to your balance and can be used the following week.
Allowances STOP at the end of the regular season; we'll have to bet wisely in the Playoffs.
The competitor with the most fantasy dollars at the end of the year wins.

Rule 4 - Lines
Lines will be posted on Wednesday of every week to this site. (Games that are not yet handicapped by Wednesday will be posted as they become available.)

Rule 5 - Picks
Picks must be emailed to unifiedfund@yahoo.com before 1 p.m. EST on Sunday. If you send picks after the allotted time, your picks will be voided, you will be sent a harsh letter of denial, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Once I have received all picks, I will post to the Unified Fund website for all to see.
(If you choose to wager on a Thursday night contest, the email must be received before 8:15 p.m. Eastern Time, before kickoff. Same goes for any games played on Saturday.)

Winnings are not eligible for use until the following week. (i.e - you can't bet a Thursday game and use winnings on that Sunday's game.)

Rule 6 - Bet minimums
Each competitor must wager on at least 4 games per week. If no picks are received or a competitor places any less bets than 4, the competitor will forfeit the weekly $100 fantasy dollars. There is no maximum number of games a competitor can bet on. (The 4 bet minimum is for Regular Season only - there will be no minimums in post-season play)
Minimum bet is $10 unless otherwise posted.

Rule 7 - Reg. Season Performance Bonuses NEW
Periodically throughout the season, you can add additional deposits to your stack...
- After week 6: Top 5 Bonus ($200 - $50)
- After week 12: Top 5 Bonus ($200 - $50)
- Season End - Top 5 Bonus ($200 - $50)

I think that's it. If I missed something let me know.
