BSC NFL Year 6
The premier NFL spread contest that has touched the hearts and souls of football junkies and gambling degenerates – Year 6 of the Barnhardt Super Contest (BSC Y6).
YEAR 1 - The Inaugural season in 2018 was a tremendous success: 20 competitors, $1,000 to 1st, 4 Quarter-season winners.
YEAR 2 - progressed a step further: 28 entrants, $1,600 to 1st.
COVID YEAR 3 - It tried to defeat us, but we cannot be defeated: 31 participants (8 brand new people), $1,700 to 1st and $150 to the 4 Quarter-season winners.
YEAR 4 - saw a huge surge: 50 people, $2,300 to 1st, $200 to 4 Quarter-season winners.
YEAR 5 - was the biggest and baddest yet: 55 people (17 new players), $2,400 to 1st, $200 to 4 Quarter-season winners & $50 to each Quarter runner-up.
FORMAT
Pick 5 games against the spread (ATS) each week.
5 games, any 5 you want.
Submit your picks each week by the deadline. That’s it. Cheer when you win, curse yourself for making bad picks if you lose.
SCHEDULE
Wednesday nights –spreads, recaps, updated standings
Sunday morning before noon kickoffs – spreadsheet showing everyone’s picks, Top 5 consensus, and team frequencies will be posted once compiled and completed.

Expect a couple new in-season opportunities to compete (friends from the early years know whats up).
Past winners include: Stephen Gray (inaugural), Dan Pfeiffer (Year 2 +3), Jeremy Sinople (Year 4), & Defending Champion Tom Schweitzer (Year 5)

**Saturday11:59 pm central time is a HARD deadline. Be punctual or you will get a 0. Timestamps tell all. No exceptions this season folks.

**I’m a 2x father now as of August. Patience for stupidity is not tolerated.

DISCLAIMER
For transparency purposes, I submit my own picks the same way you will. I do not copy anyone’s picks because quite frankly, I take pride in my own knowledge over anyone else’s anyways. I want to be the best and win, but I believe in running a honest and straight forward pool from start to finish. I always have timestamped confirmation if ever doubted.
Commissioner decisions are final.
I hope you’ve been stretching because football season is here.
Barnhardt Super Contest Year 6 registration is NOW OPEN.
Best of luck!
