<more importanly w/everything and rockymountainsooner not picking challenges I have a feeling they may not even show up for there games. If you picked to play them you have to beat a score of ZERO to gain the win!!!!!!! keep that in mind !!!!! i have no clue if they will show or not, but keep that in mind if its like friday and they have not showed up ... and that goes for ANY game where somebody does not show.>



What happens if they show for part of the week, start losing and just decide to pack it in? Thought I would ask in case that scenario should arise. However I agree with you that they may not bother to participate which would really be unfortunate.

Didn't "Everything" not issue challenges/bother to participate last week as well? If so, was the same criteria established (needing to post a positive record beating a score of zero in order to qualify for the win)? Again, just thought I would ask because I don't believe I saw Everything participate last week, although I am not absolutely positive on that. I am however almost entirely sure he/she did not make any challenges last week.

I would like to propose that people like Rocky Mountain Sooner and Everything etc, should be banned from contests/games such as this in the future because of what they did this week (or lack thereof). I thought it was totally classless and selfish on their part, just because they were low men on the totem pole in the standings, they chose not to bother to participate this week. By choosing not to participate in the contest they screwed the other people who were actually participating. Any one of the matchups that they chose not to participate in could potentially determine who gets in and who gets ousted this week. Their lack of participation directly leads to a loss of integrity of this contest.

I will say that I am not affected by this because I had an absolutely horrendous week and basically eliminated myself with some very bad picks and some very bad luck (getting hooked on more than a few occasions), but that is not the point, what I am talking about is a matter of principle. I very easily could have been affected by this under different circumstances, and someone else here actually playing this contest throughout the process could very well be affected by this for this week. If these people not participating would have actually been the impetus behind me losing the contest, I can only speak for myself, but I would be pissed. I definitely sympathize with anyone who doesn't make it to the next round because these clowns chose not to bother.
Anyway, that's my rant. Thanks for the time and for the hard work of running the contest! Best of luck to all of the rest of the competitors!

Jack is notified from me when people go ghost on my contests. He does what he feels is necessary from there.
