yeager ....

i am pretty sure i wrote this in the rules at some point, some where, but if not thats why I counted your wins. so lets get past that part.

As for copying plays ... you CANNOT post plays that ASSURE you a win. Its that simple. "cock-blocking" is the word i like to use . but seriouslly i realize there was a small amount of games but you should have posted BEFORE them, then you dont even have to worry about it .. that is the easiest way around the situation.

[yeager]

Ok, no problem. I was just making sure you can pick one or two games the same earlier in the week. I understand about "cock blocking" and it won't happen again. I really thought more people would do it, guess I was wrong. Again, great job on running this and other contest...I know the work that can go into these things.

sounds good yeager, yeah the reason I didn't penalize you is because most of the people left in here are also in my NBA contest and that is a rule we live & die by over there, so they knew. I just didn't make it very clear in this one. no worries man ... u did the "smart" thing, although u may not have made any friends

ya kno what sucks about this contest. if you are or near last place, everyone mouthercrunker is gonna challenge you ....some people are going to be doing like 9-10 challenges. aw man i feel sorry for them

[mrhotpicks2]

that is good thou. If was at or near the bottom then i would want to play as many games as possible to get my winning % up there

[tomwood]

Come on guys......I know I had a bad first week for this segment. But did everyone have to challenge me this week. 9 people have challenged me plus the people that i had to challenge.

This is going to be a busy week! I better make it a good one...or i'm out!

Good luck everyone

This is not to go against you Hot Picks, and I do realize what Rocky Mountain Sooner was saying about trying to gain ground and then being thwarted by Yeager posting some of the same plays as him, but I do think Yeager had at least a valid point concerning this past weekend. With just 4 games available to play, it left very little options for someone in the lead who wished to take advantage of playing their available number of allotted games in order to sustain their lead. However you did offer a good strategy for dealing with such a situation. The leading team should try and post first, then if the losing team wishes he/she could just post contrary picks and hope for the best if that person so desired to do so, thus giving everyone a chance to win on the last day. Kudos to you!

Hots, what's the (c) next to Austin Peay and TTech mean? sorry if I missed it in the rules.

circled

[Seanie Mac]

well wtf. what if you like the same game as the other person? theres no rea way around it. but if i like a game and the other person likes a game and it just happens to be possibly the difference, im still posting it. im going to do it on purpose, but, if it comes up that way, oh well, im still posting the play.

i had a large lead in all of my challenges last week except for 1, and I HAD TO PLAY 2 GAMES TO MAKE 15, so i just played them for a FT (1pt).

[yeager]

Hots, help me score my game with adamapple. he picked 4 3 pt games. Don't know what to do. Thanks.

Same with mine against him.

Thanks Hots

[mrhotpicks2]

thanks for bringing it to my attention guys. and for anybody that played adamapple45 ... his Providence play is counted as a field goal - MAX 3 three pointers a night.
