This is the thread for the weekly VFV P.O.W. (Play Of the Week) Contest. Below are all the rules for this year's contest with points of emphasis in bold.
1. All contestants must be a member in good standing with VFV Forums
2. Players make one (1) single play ATS each week during the NFL regular season
3. A correct play results in one (1) point being awarded. A "push" or tie, results in a half point (1/2) being awarded
4. An Incorrect play results in zero (0) points being awarded
5. All lines MUST be taken from the following website each week: www.vsin.com/odds/NFL/ and cite the book used
6. All lines must be -110 or less (must be posted on above site...no buying 1/2 point)
7. Only the books listed on this page (except for the Opening Line and Consensus) may be used in this contest.
8. The following selections are allowed: Full Game Side, Full Game Total, First Half Side, First Half Total (NO MONEYLINES ALLOWED)
9. Plays MUST be submitted each week by kickoff of last scheduled game.
10. Plays must be in the following format (or close to it):
2023 NFL P.O.W. (0-0-0 (post your current record here))
Atlanta Falcons +3 (Golden Nugget)
(This is where you will post your reasoning for this selection. It doesn't have to be a book or even a full paragraph, but more than just "I think the Falcons are better.")
11. Myself, Seahawk Rick (the artist formerly known as Cybergolf) or any other I deem so, will have final ruling on if a play is valid (ie: Wrong line, Wrong Book, Not enough reasoning given, etc)
12. The first couple of weeks I will give the benefit of the doubt to any newcomers on here...veterans, you know the rules, LMEAO
13. NO EDITING!!! (ironic, as this was edited by DaveTuley LMEAO)...you can't change your pick after you post it as this supposed to mirror the real world where you lock in your bet at the current number...if you need to clarify something in original post (typed in wrong team or line, or forget to cite sportsbooks, etc.), please quote in new post to bring it to the moderators attention
14. Week 18 will be worth 2 points for a correct selection and 1 point for a push.
15. To qualify for the playoff round of this competition, players must have a total of 10 points by the end of the regular season (week 18).
MAJOR PRIZE UPDATE!!! DaveTuley announcing last Friday that he was adding a second prize (especially of interest to contest lovers). For the REGULAR-SEASON TOP-POINT EARNER and the END-OF-SUPER-BOWL PLAYOFF CHAMP, he will give them each the choice of the aforementioned traditional VFV prize package (2 free Vegas hotel nights and dinner for 2; you just have to get yourself to Vegas) OR free football contest proxy service for 2 entries (value $500). Again, you would still have to get yourself to Vegas on your own to register for the Circa or Westgate contests (or whatever contest is going at the time), but DaveTuley would provide the proxy service for free.
