Rule for Rec players only could be an issue. Limits lowered, still enough to take a taste of some plays there but I don't get the "get out at the half" promo so probably not this either. I will still fill one out for the hell of it. If the FP shows up great. If not, probably my bracket is no good either.
For those looking for an Alt MM contest, look at Splash or even Survivor Sweat. MM survivor is a fun play. Essentially you work backwards as you need the 2 winners in the final 4 as well as the overall winner to make it to the end. Same rules as NFL survivor...once you play a team, that is it for that team.
One pick each day opening round, Sweet 16 days Thurs/Fri 1 pick each day, Sat/Sun elite 8 is one pick total, then one final four, one champ game.
Got to the final four last year and monetized it with a hedge to make a couple bucks. Fun way to play it. Instead of worrying about every game, pick your best plays days 1 and 2 that you think get bounced on the weekend, and on and on. Fun...
