***New Rule*** All Plays at UHC can be CHANGED
up until starting time of each sport. The UHC is a contest and your
plays are NOT locked in until the start of each game!
|
|
For the UHC NCAA Challenge, NCAA 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. The UHC does NOT include the College Bowls
at years end.
|
|
The standings can always be seen at www.uhchallenge.com,
the official website of the UHC. The UHC site will post weekly as
well as overall standings, not to mention our Very popular, "Free
Picks" page, which we strongly encourage you to utilize. |
|
Each selection must be rated between one(1) and
five(5) units. The units represent the strength of the selection
and are used to determine the amount of points won or lost each
week.
|
|
A maximum of up to twenty-seven (27) 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 choose NOT to submit plays for the week and
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. Either way, less than
10 units for the week constitutes a PASS. This is designed to prevent
contestants from submitting a game early Saturday morning, then
LOSE and not submit another game for the week. Please DO NOT
try this as the system will catch you.
|
|
The week officially ends with the conclusion of
the Monday night game as does the NFL. The UHC results
will also be published according to the week ending with the Monday
night game.
|
|
You may PASS three (3) times during the entire
NCAA challenge. More than 3 passes for the season constitutes
automatic elimination, NO EXCEPTIONS. Please note that the
Bowls are NOT part of the challenge.
|
|
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. You are NOT able to replay those units that push.
|
|
Once the line is given out, it NEVER CHANGES.
The Official lines are posted once, usually on Thursday evening
for the upcoming weekend. The lines for the week will be posted
on the UHC website between between 8:00-9:00 p.m. EST, every Thursday
evening. If there is a Thursday game, the lines will be posted at
least a day or two in advance as well.
|
|
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 have at the time of elimination.
|
|
If for any reason you are experiencing technical
difficulties with the UHC software and/or the website at www.uhchallenge.com or UltimateHandicappingChallenge.com
please email your selections to
Support@NationalSportsMonitor.com . If you are not near a pc ONLY IN EMERGENCY you can leave your selections on my office line at 516-883-4550. Although there
will not be lines posted on this number, they will be adjusted accordingly.
All participants always receive the same lines.
|
|
Once you are logged in, you will be able to view
ALL other CONTESTANT's SELECTIONS right at Kickoff! We do not
advise that you wait until the last minute to submit your selections
as the system will kick you out exactly at gametime.
|
|
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!
|
|
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.
|
|
No Refunds Given after a play has been
submitted or if a service takes a pass in week #1 |
