Rules for NBA Ultimate Handicapping Challenge
UHC NBA 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.
Note: ALL STAR BREAK – The week before and after the NBA all star break will count as one week due to the shortage of games during this period.
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 NBA 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 NBA challenge… More than 3 passes for the regular season constitutes automatic elimination, NO EXCEPTIONS.
UHC does NOT Carry the NBA playoffs. The All Star Game is NOT part of the UHC Challenge.
MVPSportsbook.com is giving away a TOTAL of $5,000 to the two (2) regular season winners. One $2500 winner for Won/Loss % and another $2500 winner for Units. (NCAA has the same prize).
***Please Note***….MVPSportsbook.com will pay the winner(s) of EACH UHC Challenge a total of $5,000. Each prize will be a Sports Book Account at MVPSportsbook.com which must be rolled over a minimum of 6 times before being cashed out.
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.
Games that are Off The Board at MVPSportsbook.com are also OTB at UHC. Please be reminded to check back for certain games or totals that are not up at the time we post them but that are posted later on. We check back periodically to make sure that a specific line has been added at MVPSportsbook.com. Once they add it, we also add it to our board.
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.
MVPSportsbook.com lines will be used as the “Official Lines” for each game!
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.uhchallenge.com, please EMAIL YOUR SELECTIONS To Support@NationalSportsMonitor.com, (we use the same support for NSM and UHC). or ONLY in the case of an emergency if you have no access to a pc, please leave them at our office phone at toll free (888) 267-4349, be SURE to be clear regarding your plays and the amount of units for each selection.
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.
