I'm being lenient this year as I have been in the college game. I know the Vegas rules say game must be played by Tuesday of the following week to be applied toward contest standings or contestant will receive 0 points for that game, however, I am awarding a replacement pick if there is still time in the current week or a replacement pick the following week. I feel that's fair considering the unstable situation that exists this year.

so if the game plays by Tuesday it stands, if not played they get extra pick next week?

268 Tennessee

<---------------------- Monday or Tuesday
273 New England
274 Kansas City

yes, if not played by Tuesday, get a replacement pick

JOH, does your comment above mean that since there is "still time in the current week" as we can still pick until 4PM EST, am I permitted to NOW replace that patriots pick if I want? How do I do that?

I can't grant a replacement unless the game is officially moved to another week past Tuesday. Must know that before 4pm to make that happen.

You do a great job with contests, but why are you always so defensive when somebody has an opinion here?

Well enough Faygo. I'll go to my corner and enter my picks without future commentary or have anything to say about how things are ruled here.

FYI I'm also the poster who informed JOH that the codes had been compromised.

That's all fine and dandy. What is the point in furthering the discussion on a decision that has been made by the person running the contest? If anyone was risky enough to wait until the deadline to take the Chiefs kudos to them. There is still risk in waiting when people have a wife, kids and life getting in the way. Next thing you know you forgot to make your pick.

JOH is doing what he thinks is fair.

This is no different than a star player getting hurt in practice on a Thursday or Friday and being ruled out of.the game that week. If you've already made your pick in that scenario than you never got a replacement pick. And if you wait till Saturday to place picks than you get to take advantage of it. I understand covid is making things hard this year. But it's the same scenario. That's just part of the contest, has been since it was started.

Come on guys. Get over the bickering.

THis is a season like no other.

JOH is ruling the best he can. His rulings are fair and the same to all players.

Let's just get along and say thanks to JOH for doing a great job at an extra tough job this year.
