UHC CBB sides and totals are combined into one
contest. You have the option of selecting all totals, all sides,
or you can mix them up accordingly within the point distribution.
|
|
Each selection must be rated between one(1) and
five(5) units. The Units represent the strength of the selection(s)
and is used to determine the amount of points won or lost each week.
|
|
A maximum of up to sixty (60) units can be played
each week. This is the maximum but it is not required that your
units add up to this amount.
|
|
A minimum of ten (10) units MUST be played each
week (unless you pass). Those that enter less than 10 units
for the week will automatically go down as a PASS regardless, but,
ie, if you submit plays equalling less than 10 units for the week
and WIN, those games WILL NOT count towards your score. If you submit
plays equalling less than 10 units for the week and LOSE, those
games WILL count towards your score. ONLY LOSSES COUNT IF YOU SUBMIT
LESS THAN 10 UNITS. The objective here is to make sure that ALL
services submit at least 10 units per week unless they go down as
a "PASS". We do NOT want services to submit 2 losing games early
in the week thinking that they will get away with this by NOT submitting
the full 10 units.
|
|
The UHC CBB week is a full 7 (seven) day week which
runs Monday through Sunday. Our website will carry OVERALL as
well as WEEKLY standings. Games will be updated every morning immediately
following the games from the night before.
|
|
You may PASS three (3) times during the entire
CBB challenge... More than 3 passes for the regular season constitutes
automatic elimination, NO EXCEPTIONS.
|
|
UHC NCAA Hoops ends at the end of the Conference
Tournaments. We do NOT carry March Madness or the Final Four.
|
|
Correct selections earn 100 points per unit and
Incorrect selections lose 110 points per unit. Games that are
tied or pushed earn zero (0) points, regardless of the amount of
units. Pushes are not allowed to be played over. Once you use up
all 60 units, you are done for the week.
|
|
Please be reminded that the UHC is a contest not
a monitor. You may CHANGE your plays at ANY time up until Tipoff.
You may also DELETE a play by simply zeroing out the game before
Tipoff.
|
|
The Comp plays are Free plays to the public and
DO count as selections. You have the option to select ONE or
ALL of your actual selections to be FREE to the public. Our Free
Picks Page is one of the most popular in the industry and I would
strongly suggest that you submit a Free Play but this is entirely
up to you.
|
|
Once the lines are given out, they NEVER CHANGE.
|
|
All Lines will be posted usually by 12pm EST of
each gameday.
|
|
ALL selections can be submitted right up until
game time!
|
|
Please note that once any UHC Challenge has started,
you CANNOT withdraw from the contest.This is strictly to protect
the integrity of the UHC. If you wish to drop out of the contest
for whatever reason after it has already begun, you must pass for
4 weeks and eliminate yourself. Your record will also remain at
the UHC site with the record that you had at the time of elimination.
|
|
If for any reason you believe that your score is
incorrect, please contact the UHC office at the end of that
particular week. Scores will not be changed after a seven (7) day
time frame. This applies to all contestants.
|
|
If any contestant is caught cheating or trying
to abuse or take advantage of any glitch that may unfortunately
arise in the uhc software for any reason, they will be disqualified
immediately. No questions asked!
|
|
If for any reason you are experiencing technical
difficulties with the UHC software and/or the website at www.ultimatehandicappingchallenge.com,
please leave your selections at 1-516-883-4550. Although
there will not be lines posted on this number, they will be adjusted
accordingly. You may also e-mail your plays in ONLY IN THE CASE
OF A TECHNICAL EMERGENCY at babowski@yahoo.com.
All participants always receive the same lines.
|
|
No refunds are given after the start of the Regular
season even if that service took a pass in week 1. Once the
contest begins, you cannot withdraw from the contest unless you
become disqualified by passing for 4 weeks
|
|
The UHC roster is open until the end of week 3
of any sport. This is due to the fact that everyone gets 3 passes
and if a service decides that they want to use their first 3 weeks
to Pass, they are completely within the rules to do so.
|
|
Free Picks Each handicapper has
the opportunity to submit one or all of his selections as a FREE PICK
that is complimentary to the public. The FREE picks are shown on the
FREE PICKS page before the games start at the exact moment the service(s)
select them. The best part of this feature is that all FREE PICKS
are real actual plays that do count as UHC selections. |
|
We urge you to read over the RULES AND REGULATIONS
very carefully.
|
|
All decisions made by the UHC will be Final.
