will the satellites pay out in cash prizes? or entries to next year's events? will they pay out at at least 80%?

Hello Greg, the signup thread still shows the overall championship prize as $3,000.

This has no prestige.

Of each $650 entry, $50 goes toward the overall prize winner.

At 80% rake..."The Organizers" keep $130 of every entry.

I'll assume this is online...thus no "event" costs?

Wow.

I know you have your bills to pay...but that looks like a sucker bet to me.

I see no reason to enter at those numbers.

Good Luck!

~Lance If 80 percent isn't your cup of tea, play somewhere else. All of our online leagues are 80 percent as we still pay for the online draft site (MDC) and the stat service. I can't even find a back-end support system to do an overall basketball contest, so finding a contest that will guarantee the prize money is even tougher. We're just trying to build something here and last year 60 folks thought 80 percent was fair enough. Thanks for your thoughts Lance.
