Hoops Insanity Contest - Questions, Concerns, Errors -- GO HERE !!!!!!!

[The Illuminati]

I have the time stamp only off 5mins, and is there anyway we can get that changed to be the offical time.,

why is it off?

[Seanie Mac]

this has probably been answered, but man im so lost it scares me. i have 1 question and thats it.

Lets say I have Rhode Island +9. Now I know if they win outright I get 9 points, but what if they lose by 6, covering the #, do I still get points?

and then if BYU wins the game by 2, not covering the # do I still get points for picking the SU winner?

if and when these are answered I will fully understand segment 1...

Will you include the people you have listed in the contest but have not selected any games as part of the 30% when knocking them off after round 1?

Just wondering how crazy I need to be to advance. Thanks.

yes they will count towards the 11 people being knocked off.

ROCKYMOUNTAINSOONER: you were deducted 10 pts, as you posted a game after the tip-off

UNBELIEVABLE- MY VERY NEXT POST ONE SECOND LATER WAS THAT I DIDN"T KNOW WHEN THE GAMES TIPPED OFF AND PLEASE DON"T COUNT ANY THAT HAD ALREADY STARTED. And you still dock me?????????????

HERE WAS THE POST

I posted at 2:27 MST - 4:27 EST I don't know if any of my picks already went off, but don't count them if the did. Thanks

[mrhotpicks2]

rules are rules .... this is quoted as to what i said saturday

[Sooner4Life]

Alright, but I still think it's wrong given my post telling you to look for it.

here is the reason i deducted. it should not be my job to babysit and see if games people play have gone off yet. I run a lot of contests here and Saturday took a while to grade with all the games there were, if i have also had to check every game tip along with timestamp(which I did do this week) it makes it even longer. would u be able to bet a game after it starts? im not trying to be a prick but rules are rules.

[Sooner4Life]

Accepted, I'm in pretty good shape anyways ;) Thanks for your work

[walbanger]

Just a question with the scoring. I'm being scored down with the negatives and I am actually up, Thanks

[Hoosiercatdaddy]

hey bro, how many games do I need to qualify for the next round?

[Seanie Mac]

Why is it that a -1 team gets 3 points, but a +1 team would only get 1?
