2009-10 SECTalk.com Football Pick 'Em Contests

SECTalk.com will host three football pick 'em contests for 2009-2010:
-2009 SEC Football Regular Season (including Championship game)
-2009-10 College Football Bowl Season
-2009-10 NFL Regular Season and Playoffs

All games have been submitted for the 2009 SEC Football Regular Season and NFL Regular Season pools. The rest obviously cannot be entered until the matchups are known. This is not a spread based contest, you simply pick the winner of each game. To get to the Picks page, click "Quick Links" in the navigation bar, and select "Pick 'Ems" at the end of the drop-down menu. There is also a reminder box on the sidebar on just about every page throughout the site. You can get to the current week's Pick 'Ems by following the included link.

Picking Schedule

You should submit your Week 1 SEC picks before 10 P.M. (CST) Wednesday, September 2nd to accomodate the Thursday night game. Every subsequent week's picks are due the night previous the first game of that week. We anticipate having several more Thursday night matchups due to the new ESPN media rights deal so picks will be due on Wednesday nights in those cases. Otherwise they will be due on Friday nights at 10.

Week 1 NFL Picks are due at 10 P.M. (CST) Wednesday, September 9th because of the Thursday night matchup. Just like in SEC pool, all subsequent weeks will close the night prior to the first game of the week (Saturday nights at 10.)

Participation

Any registered user may register in any and all contests. However, only members with 100 or more posts will be eligible for prizes. Furthermore, ties for prizes will be broken by post count.
