Guys lets huddle up here and get a few things ironed out, please!

Journeyman · May 30, 2007

We seem to all be on different pages , I would like everyone to speak up if they feel there have been poroblems to this point about ANYTHING in this contest...

We ALL need to be on the same page! Please lets not turn this into a farce with all the bickering and snide remarks.

We have had a few instances that have created problems, some of which were caused by either posting an improper line or people needing to make a second post...

IT IS NOT THAT HARD TO COPY 3 LINES INTO YOUR POST, PLEASE TRY HARD TO GET THIS RIGHT.

We have 4 months left, lets make this work...again please try hard to make your post correct, most of the trouble has come from posting incorrect lines.

If anyone has a complaint or suggestion , please make it here now....

My goal is to have this contest run as smooth as they usually do, so everyone can just enjoy it...lets all work together , thanks!

Everybody should just copy & paste the games & lines that they are selecting...Journey has asked everybody to do this and if they do it eleviates alot of confusion....i'm not being stupid by saying this:....if you dont know how to copy and paste, this is how:
1)Hightlight the selected Rotation # line and teams by left-clicking besides it and dragging the mouse over the selected areas until the entire desired area is highlighted.
2)right-click and choose copy
3)then scroll down to the quick reply box and right click on the mouse and choose paste.....
do that for each selection.

Speak of the devil... I just tallied up the unofficial numbers based on SportSavant's decisions mentioned last night. Let me double-check everything and I'll post it in a minute.

today is not the last day of the month though

THEPOSTMAN! · May 30, 2007

There are no picks on Thursday, so today is the last day for this month's contest.

CalvinTy · May 30, 2007

Adjustments made in my file:

May 8th: totalsquare's 3rd pick; typo on SEA +169 (should be +168); loss changed to no action; +100 points returned
May 22nd: FairWarning's 1st pick; typo on PHI -130 (should be -133); loss changed to no action. FairWarning's 2nd pick; SportSavant's grading error on TB -116 (should be a loss; not a win) & was graded as a loss in my file & remains this way. SportSavant has adjusted in the official updated standings after May 27th with the -86 combined difference for all 3 picks of that day by FairWarning. My file shows the updated change for the 1st pick from a loss to no action.
May 27th: FairWarning's 1st pick: typo on STL -178 (should be -174); loss changed to no action; +174 points returned in my file as I had graded it as a loss based on the -174 contest line.

Previously addressed stuff:

May 16th & May 20th Puckhandler's transposed errors graded by SS/Journeyman as no action; same in my file.
May 12th playersonly69's 2nd & 3rd picks not counted due to separate posts & without notification; graded as no action

Left alone:

Two instances of missing lines "left alone as previously graded".

May 6th: Gil Renard's 3 picks had no numbers but was graded according to having the correct rotation number & team names.
May 23rd: With Journeyman's authorization, Journeyman posted playersonly69's 2nd and 3rd team names (without lines) in the post made by Journeyman at 6:53pm EDT in the May 23rd picks thread.

With those information, I'm posting the full unofficial standings in the next post as it's ready.

Personally, for future months, I think anyone who are within 600-800 points of 1st place's current numbers should send e-mailed picks on the last contest day of the month. This is based on observations on how it's possible for the leaders to risk 3 picks and having a 0-3 day (-300 to -400) with others in range having a 3-0 day (+300 to +400).

As for me, today, I have no problems posting my picks later. GL everyone!

SportSavant, I hope the list in the previous post helps us to be in sync with your official standings.

Cheers,
