Califan007 The Constipated Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 "Even if no contestant correctly predicts all 32 picks..." None will lol "...top finishers will receive 2015 Premium Season Tickets or an autographed Redskins jersey. Visit www.redskins.com/mockdraft for official rules and frequently asked questions." That's one helluva drop off...I think it's basically the unofficial top prize in this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RemoveSnyder Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 There is at least one flaw with the available pool of selectees for the drag & drop in the million dollar mock draft challenge. Eric Rowe is not listed anywhere. If Rowe is selected in the 1st round, in real life, literally no contestant can win the challenge. Simply, because there is no ability to select him within the game's parameters. Whether or not the engineers of the challenge can augment the selections is unknown. I sent a notification to redskins.com. I mean, that is one way to ensure nobody wins the million dollars, exclude one or two guys that actually may be selected in the 1st round. ... If you doubt Rowe's chances of being selected in round 1, refer yourself to rotoworld's updates on Rowe: http://www.rotoworld.com/player/cfb/133313/eric-rowe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Skins Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I think it said even if no one gets all 32 right whoever gets the most right still wins. So it wouldn't matter if he wasn't an option because he is equally unavailable to everyone who entered right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemoveSnyder Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I think it said even if no one gets all 32 right whoever gets the most right still wins. So it wouldn't matter if he wasn't an option because he is equally unavailable to everyone who entered right? UGH. Here are the FAQs: http://files.redskins.com/pdf/mock-draft-madness-2015-faqs.pdf 3. How do you win? Grand Prize: Awarded to the contestant who accurately predicts all 32 selections in the first round of the 2015 Draft in the correct order (regardless of the team that makes the selection) Second Place Prize: Awarded to the contestant who accurately matched the player selected to the selection number (regardless of the team that makes the selection) the most number of times among all contestants who did not predict all 32 selections with 100% accuracy Third Place Prize: Awarded to the contestant who accurately matched the player selected to the selection number (regardless of the team that makes the selection) the second most number of times among all contestants who did not predict all 32 selections with 100% accuracy The word "all" is important there. Specific to Grand Prize. The term "100% accuracy" is important for the other two prize places. ... Here is the page for official rules: http://files.redskins.com/pdf/mock-draft-madness-2015-official-rules.pdf GRAND PRIZE: One (1) Grand Prize will be awarded: USD $1,000,000 in the name of the Grand Prize winner(s), payable over the course of forty (40) years in forty (40) equal annual installments. The Grand Prize will be awarded to the participant(s) who accurately predict the thirty-two (32) players selected in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft in the correct order (regardless of the team that makes the selection). If more than one eligible contestant accurately predicts the thirty-two (32) players selected in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft in the correct order (regardless of the team that makes the selection), the Grand Prize will be divided equally among all contestants within tie through separate forty (40) year annuity payments in forty (40) equal annual installments. The Grand Prize will only be awarded if one or more eligible contestants accurately predicts the thirty-two (32) players selected in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft in the correct order. The Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of the grand prize is USD $1,000,000. For avoidance of doubt, the Grand Prize winner(s) are not eligible to win the Second Place or Third Place Prizes. So, TL;DR: You got to get every single one correct, the right guy, in the right order ... for the grand prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RemoveSnyder Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 To update, the Redskins are aware of Eric Rowe not being available for selection and he will be added. Got this email: We are in the process of adding Eric Rowe. This should be done at some point today. Thanks, FRANK SALATTOMARKETING DIRECTOR | WASHINGTON REDSKINS1600 FedEx Way | Landover, MD 20785 Good on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB452 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Of course, if it looks like somebody is going to win the big boatload of cash, Snyder will make a trade with the team with the #32 pick and draft Devin Thomas or Malcolm Kelly again.
