I just want to play by the rules that were clearly laid out well in advance. I am playing for fun. But here it is week 1 and you are talking about changing the rules.

If you don't want my opinion then don't ask for it.

sorry horos
i dont use those smiley things
i was not trying to sound like a dick when i offered the refund
i fully understand if you wanted it
somewhere there is a "rule" that says get picks in before 1pm
and the league voted to modify that if necessary
in certain situations, a change in rules would upset me also
someone had a family emergency sunday and i tried to help out
these 2 guys might not even get in the league now
i suggested a vote to see if the league would allow a modification for this
and i think the league voted to allow it
week 1 is no longer an issue because neither of the 2 made any selections
if they are in the league, they are 0-6

but what do you suggest we do in the future?

I am generally a 'rules' guy myself but this is a season long, for fun thing with a few bucks just to make it more fun. I have no problem with bending things to accommodate other folks in the group if something comes up. [I also dont think there is an advantage for picking later in the day necessarily....I will make my picks before the deadline and if I dont I wouldnt have an issue with the 0-6. I would still have fun tracking the rest of the games through the season and shit, I went 2-6 in Week 1 maybe I should have letting a fucking dog pick for me. "If he sniffs his ass in the next minute I go with Atlanta. If not, the Bears." ]

This isn't the Hilton Super Contest. We had a good time doing this last year and the main reason we did was because we all had fun with it and bullshitted throughout the season. I'm of the opinion that if someone has to get in late, its no big deal. Once bye weeks start, there are only 6 games in the afternoon/sunday/monday night, so you're pretty fucked if you pick late. Also, I'm positive (last year at least), none of the members would turn picks in late so they can see where the other action is and bet accordingly. And if for whatever reason they did turn picks in late (I think I had one of these weeks), they didn't check to see anyone else's.

Heres a compromise, if someone can't get their picks in by 1, ED doesn't post anyones picks until he has all the picks. That way, if someone needs to get in with only the night games they won't see anyone elses. We don't need to worry about seeing our picks before the game starts to make sure they're right; we've done two leagues with ED, he's not going to fuck it up.

this.

just don't post everyone's picks everyone has picked them. if they don't send them in by 4pm, post the picks, and those that didn't get them in will be considered 0-6 for that week.

this never did happen last year either. i don't think it will be an issue too much going forward...

ed243421

ok

fixer is out

we'll see what swany does this week

year end payouts will be -


with swany = 11 x $40 = 440 - 170 ($10 in weekly pot for goin 6-for-6) = 270
1st place = $180
2nd place = $90

without swany = 10 x $40 = 400 - 170 = 230
1st place = $160
2nd place = $70


does this look ok?

lemme know, cause now that we may be possibly down to 10

we could pay 1 winner if the league wants

Looks fine.

And any leftover in th 6 for 6 pot also to first place?

Sure. So no second place? I'd be fine with that.

2nd place gets paid, but no added payout if there's leftover from the weekly 6-6 pot. So worst case and swany is out and we're down to 10, first place gets anywhere from $160 to $330 depending on when the last (if any) 6-6 hit happens, and 2nd place gets $70.00


Seems good to me. Everyone else feel free to chime in.
