# Announcement:
Due to the overwhelming number of people *editing* their picks and the tremendous amount of time it takes for me to check the timestamp on each entry, I'll be making an adjustment to the contest rules. 

From here on out, if you make an edit to your picks you are disqualified from the contest. No exceptions. This will make things more clear for everyone moving forward.

**Thank you for playing, and best of luck!**

# Deadline for today - 7:00 PM EST.🏀

# Contest Rules

# Update
-Ladies and gents we have a slight update to the payouts. Due to SBD no longer being printed, payouts will move from *half of the SBD liquid payouts* to ***half liquid payouts.*** 

-The payout will still be the same percentage, however you will receive Steem now instead of SBD. 

-When/if SBD starts being printed again, we will go right back to the previous payouts. Thanks everyone.

**NBA Daily Pick'em** will be running everyday of the season, into the playoffs, and through the NBA Finals.

Please list your bets in the proper order listed so that it's easier for me to grade the picks. If you have any ideas, suggestions or ways of helping the contest, feel free to let me know.
