Ok

4 more votes left to decide # of payouts

It looks like honor system will be ok

So next on the agenda,

The "not getting picks in by 1pm Sunday" issue

This is what I wanna do

For weeks 1 through 6, so the rookies get used to it, and also us

No picks at 1pm, you can only pick from the late games plus Monday

After week 6, no picks at 1, no picks for week

i vote 3.....the 1pm rule should go from week 1 on though. rookie or not, we all know when kickoff is on sunday.

Everyone's pick should be in by 1pm Sunday each week unless of course you are taking a Thursday or a Saturday game. If you pick a Thursday or a Saturday game the balance of your picks need to be in by 1pm Sunday.

Potential situation.....what if someone forgets to pick by 1pm Sunday, can they still pick the 4pm games, Sun night game or Mon night game? Or if you miss Sunday all together can you still pick Monday game?

Just curious.

IMO, everyone should have their picks in before 1 PM starting in week 1, no excuses. I dont think anyone, including rookies, need to have flexibility the first 6 weeks before we get more strict. Like someone mentioned, we all know when kickoff is. It's the same time every week. But I also think everyone deserves to be late once, so for example if someone misses the 1 PM games they should be able to pick the later games and the MNF game. 1 time only, IMO.

But really, it's not hard to be on time with your picks each and every week. I played last year and the year before and I've never been late once. Sometimes I submit mine as early as Friday night. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. But I'll go with the majority rule.

Is it too late to get in to this???

No, not too late. I'm sure this is still open until at least the day before the season opener between the Broncos and the Ravens.

Make sure you vote on how many payouts you want and all that. : )

Ok

1 more vote

Yes/no

Starting now, through week 17, no picks at 1pm Sunday means no picks for the week

vermont21

My vote is that in order to make things easier for all we need to have all picks in by Sunday at 1pm unless we are picking a Thursday/Saturday game, weeks 1-17.

But I am good with whatever is easiest.

Last year I set an alarm on my phone for noon Sunday as a reminder.

Horos

I vote no late picks.

Easy solution is if someone doesn't get picks in by sunday at one, then they are stuck with the six biggest favorites for that week.

Shit happens. I have had plenty of late nights where I sleep past 1:00 on sundays. It's not usually planned that way, but it happens.

Plus your 1:00pm is my 10:00am. Ed's got plenty of my picks at 12:59

Guys, I hate to do this, but gotta bail now, before this thing is concrete.

I was asked to do another fantasy league by a buddy. Just not going to be able to put in the time to do this every week, as much as I would love to. Let me know if this is a problem.

There's a $15.00 fee for dropping out. If a replacement isn't found for you it goes up to $40.
