Each entry starts at 1000 points ("dollars").

Lines will be be emailed to entrants. The leader board will also be
updated and emailed to entrants each week.

Winning a bet adds the amount wagered to your total; amounts
wagered on losing bets are subtracted from your total. Ties
leave cash totals unaffected. No "vig" or "juice" is applied
to any bets. Assets bet on a tied result cannot be re-wagered
that same week.

Entrants may wager no more than their day-start entry total.
Each day of play (e.g. the Wild Card games constitute two
separate days: Saturday and then Sunday) produces a new
day-start total, allowing the entrant to start afresh the
next day. For example, on your first day you may wager up to
1000 points.

The Caslake Rule:
No single wager may constitute more than half of the
day-start total of the entry unless that entry's day-start
total is $500 or less. For example, on your first day of play
you may wager no more than (1000 / 2 =) 500 in any one
bet. To commit their total assets, then, entrants starting
a day with more than 500 points will have to make at least
two separate bets.
N.B.: This does not mean that entrants with more than 500
points cannot bet their entire day-start total on one GAME;
only that the entrant must bet that game at least two
different ways (see Rule #11 below).

Bets may be placed by email to cpw@escape.ca, phone (1-204-586-2401 or, if no answer,
1-204-287-8805), snail mail (postmarked 24 hours or more before
game time, received no later than the following Tuesday), at
the Winnipeg Bridge Club (Osborne Legion, Winnipeg) or in person.
Betting ceases and wagers become final at kickoff time.

Entries may be purchased at any time before or during the NFL
Playoffs. Participation is open to all except where prohibited by law.

100% of entry fees are returned to entrants in the prize pool.
65% of the total pool monies go to the entry with the highest
year end total. Second prize of 35% goes to the 2nd highest
total.

Entrants may not allow knowledge of another entrant's wagers to
affect their own betting decisions.

Participants may wager in any of four fashions, based upon the
four separate lines for each game to be posted to the
rec.gambling.sports newsgroup each week:
a) Against the Vegas-style line.
b) On the Over/Under line (total points scored
by both teams during the game). [The Over/Under
line is based on the total points scored by and
against these two teams during the regular season.]
c) On the Close/Carnage line (the difference in
scores between the two teams, regardless of which
team wins the game). [The Close/Carnage line is
calculated based upon the Vegas-style odds line.]
d) On the Outside/Inside line (whether more points
are scored in the 1st and 4th--"outside"--quarters
or the 2nd and 3rd--"inside"--quarters of play).
Overtime scoring does not count for Outside/Inside
bets.
