Were down to the final 6, just a reminder, we have two saturday games this week. Any Saturday Picks will be due by 4pm est on saturday, with the rest of your lineup due by normal time Sunday. If any player is ruled out due to covid reasons, you may select another player at that position from a game that has not started. Player must be ruled out after the deadline to adjust your lineups.

* An update requested from SHALE

Shale started a player 18 mins after the Thursday night deadline. I saw his name on the sheet ( the unopened sheet that everyone can view) After the game. I was coming to the site to send him a pm to remind him that if he had played someone that night, the pick would be invalid. He had already pm'ed me trying to justify why the pick should count. I went into the google hard copy to double check the time stamp of his selection and to make sure there was no issues i didnt know about before making my decision. In doing so, I saw his selection was Travis Kelce, indeed 18 mins late and there was no previous picks by him i had accidently erased from the sheet, as some people occasionallly try to submit a player before ive posted the new week.

I sent him back a pm, telling him his pick was 18 mins late, anyone in the contest could point this out, and that he was free to select another te. He is upset that I was able to see his selection and feels the contest isint as secure as he thought. I told him there is no way to truly lock the contest form when you are the creator of the form. We switched to google docs years ago, before that everyone would simply email or pm me there picks, so this was a way of giving me less access. I have also posted all my early picks (good or bad) trying to negate any perceived advantage I might have.

I do not appreciate the tone of his pm's, honestly its not the first time ive felt this way with him over the years, I told him moving forward he won't be invited back or I might simply choose not to run this contest on here anymore.

I wanted to loop everyone into the conversation.

I've been a part of these contests for years as well as playing in leagues with Kidman as the commish. Kidman is one of the best. A thankless job for sure. Fully supportive of whatever action you decide to take in the future. Meanwhile, good luck everyone. A wacky week so far.
