Well I could type it in...but that takes just as long (if not longer) than Excel and then it isn't as clear what you are looking at. Do you have any other suggestions? This is a work in progress after all.

Here are the results after Week 0. Right now, the All Seeing Guys, captained by Bullaholic, are in the lead. I don't believe that any of the games are being played on a Thursday this week (though I could be wrong) so you have until FRIDAY AT NOON to have your Week 1 picks turned in.

Revision: The scores for Week 0 include the 3 point "roster bonus" if your team has at least 1 member from all 4 regions.

This is probably a stupid question....but I don't understand the scoring.

The color coded boxes at the bottom of the page don't seem to add up with the colors they correspond with in the above chart! What am I missing?

Hey Adidas, I think the AllSeeing team should have gotten 3 pts for the Wild Card game. Both teams are top 25. Is that correct?

Any team picking an obviously huge underdog, to get pounded by a far superior team, as their wildcard game, be penalized 5 points, for making such a weak pick. 10 points if the game just happens to go the other way.

Sorry but I left the spreadsheet here at the office so I'm just now getting it posted. I'll send to my house so that I can get these up on a Saturday instead next week. The girls were really helped out this week as they had the exact score (4 pts) on Gilmer/Tatum and also were the only ones to get the Van/Rusk game correct (3 pts). Those two games help vault them from last to 2nd place.

Read the directions!!!! :foul: :foul: :foul:


SCORING:

1 pt for a correct pick
2 pts for a correct wild card pick
3 pts for a correct wild card pick if both teams are from Matt's Top 25
4 pts for an exact score pick of any game.
5 pts for an exact score wild card game pick if BOTH teams are from Matt’s Top 25

well then that would mean a correct wild card pick would be worth 3 points instead of 2...nice try! :thumbsup:

You can only get points from the highest possible pt catagory. I can change it to 1 pt if you would prefer though.

I was only doing that because I didn't notify people that there was a Thursday night game. As the guy running things, I think it's only fair that something be done to make others aware that the game is on a Thursday instead of a Friday. That being said...it only affected one team and I didn't receive anything until 930 from them!

Here's my .02 on this. All teams should have their own "pick receipt" deadlines for submission of picks by individual team members to their team captain. Team captains should go with, and submit, their team picks to Adidas based on the team player's picks they have received by the team pick submission deadline. Those team members not submitting picks to their captain by their team submission deadlines do not have their picks included on that week's picks. This is going to happen to team members on every team from time to time. It's a busy world---some team members are out of town, busy, have urgent family matters, or just flat forget. We need to try to get these team picks to Adidas in a timely manner. He needs to have enough time to be able to collate the picks and put them in report form. Delayed team picks work a hardship on anybody trying to administer a game such as this. We are all just having "fun"--Adidas is having to work to make this game happen---let's please
try to help him out for our mutual enjoyment.

Please don't think I am trying to "run" the show or be "somebody"---I am just offering suggestions as a fellow poster to try to help everybody out in something I think we are all enjoying.

That's crap that my team has to take a 3 pt. reduction for not getting my picks in on a thursday. How in the h-e-double hockey sticks would i know that sweetwater played decatur on a thursday. I don't check all the stickies, which by the way made no mention of a thursday game. (http://bbs.3adownlow.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=50246&perpage=15&highlight=game%20week&pagenumber=1) We were warned on Week 0 and we should of been warned this week.

Adidas and Russ, I suggest that you amend my teams score and add in a rule that if a thursday game ends up being a game of the week that you will notify us via PM.

I posted yesterday who I was still needing picks from AS WELL AS a reminder that the picks were due by 5PM. I was only made aware yesterday that the game was on a Thursday and I immediately passed along the information. I'm sure if I would have read the Sweetwater/Decatur thread (or numerous others discussing m&g's, etc.) that I would have realized this sooner and thus notified teams earlier. Anytime I post a message out here I make sure that it stays on page 1 for the day so that all teams can see it.

Your protest is noted and recorded.

why not just make all picks due by 5pm every Thursday?

nobody ever plays on Wednesday

one other thought...you did have FOUR DAYS to get your picks together. Was an extra 19 hrs really making that big of a difference? Everybody on your team is on the board daily and posting on a regular basis...it's not as if they just hadn't logged on in the past week.

That's what you had coming into the week. I didn't impact that -3 against the overall score yet because the rules state that if the -3 causes your team to end up with less than 0 points for the week that you will instead just receive 0 points for the week.

i like this game alot man, but i think that their needs to be an earlier warning. Allowing a seven hour from when you found it too when the "new" deadline is isn't enough for some of us.

What if a dectur poster would of posted that their qb and rb broke their wrist the day before the game. Make the new deadline on thursday and I have no problem, but i HATE these changing deadlines.

i didnt know it was on Thursday - and I'm a very bright person .......... I agree with AJ, if the picks were due earlier than usual then that should have been made clear WELL IN ADVANCE, and it wasnt. IMO the admin dropped the ball on that.

OK, so the admin informed people yesterday, but not everyone can sit by the computer all day and monitor 3ADL. A few hours notice isn't good enuf. Even the admin admitted he didnt realize it wa a Thur game - so he's not bright enuf I guess. (:D)

why not just throw that game out since everyone missed it - and no penalties? would that work?

so based on this logic...this same scenario could arise on a Friday as well. You turn your picks in on a Thursday afternoon and then somebody tells us on Thursday night that their QB is hurt and is out for Friday night's game. Wouldn't you then be glad that your deadline is Friday at noon instead of Thursday afternoon? :thinking:

If there had been more than ONE team that didn't turn in their picks on time, I'd be like "okay" maybe we need to waive the penalty, but everyone else managed to get their picks in on time. Deal with it!

if you were a responsible region rep you would know.

when i pick my winners, i factor in things like history and weather.

kinda hard to do that if i don't know when they are playing.:eek:

because you weren't able to work within the system that was laid out over a month ago?? This isn't a hand holding contest where everything is done for you. In making your picks, I would think that you aren't just pulling a number out of the sky. I would think that you are doing some research, reading up on the team, and gathering what info you can. Why were you (or somebody else for that matter) unable to notice that the game was on a Thursday? You can't tell me that you or anybody else on your team wasn't on the board yesterday.

I may offer an addendum to the rules...and it may be something that doesn't penalize you...but it will be something that benefits everybody else for turning in their picks on time.

YOU aren't being penalized...YOU aren't being singled out...the TEAM that you are the captain of didn't turn their picks in on time. You have Injured on your team...I'm pretty sure that he knew that the game was on Thursday. Oh and what's that??? Ahh yes...he is your Region 1 rep too!!! :thumbsup:

Most of us do 3afan.

But when you volunteer to be part of a team, you should be willing to devote a few minutes to making an educated pick for your team. Knowing what night the game will be played on and what the weather will be is not too much to ask. Rain is the great equalizer.
