    As soon as you save your picks with teams chosen, you are given the points for each game with a chosen winner in the max points column. I figured that out by watching Cindy's pick set change on the "Group Picks" page as she made changes and saved them.

    I can tell that Laliari has probably only selected the winner of game 1 for 35 points or she has selected winners of multiple games that add up to 35 confidence points.

    I can tell the the following pick sets have no winners selected due to zero max points:

    Treefrog
    RoGator
    ElPaso Irish
    Fitz
    PJMIII
    John Deere
    LoneStarIrish

    It's the squirrel nut approach. Top points on Florida whenever they are in the contest. Whether I ever get back to the rest or not, that one is set. :)

    Wendy, the plural form of nut would be needed to describe the squirrel... :lol:

    El Paso Irish: Did you have two pick sets by mistake or was your son going to use one?

    LoneStarIrish: Since you did not make picks for yesterday's game, I would like to know how many points you lost. The way the picks were set up, I can't remember if the low points were attached to the early games or the late games.

    There at too many games I don't care about. I'm not going to make any picks.

    No problem Tim... I won't delete the second one until I know it will not affect your first one (same pick names). Probably will just leave it there and not include it in the roll up messages.

    OK, everyone can go to the Yahoo site to see the leaders based solely on who has the most points. The standings I will post will look slightly different. My standings and the site standings will be exactly the same at the end of the contest. I am taking into consideration possible points first and then actual score second. This is how it looks right now before the second bowl is played today.

    Oops, was dyslexic on my entry of the formula for points available. Used 360 instead of 630. After the second game today, the standings are:

    PL -- Now - Lost - Poss - Participant
    01 -- 127 --- 0 --- 630 --- Gipicks
    02 -- 122 --- 0 --- 630 --- I Got a Football Jones
    03 -- 111 --- 0 --- 630 --- Boondock Muskies
    04 --- 93 --- 0 --- 630 --- mrsjoco
    05 --- 82 --- 0 --- 630 --- PJMIII
    06 --- 81 --- 0 --- 630 --- Scotts Bowl WAG
    07 --- 53 --- 0 --- 630 --- Lady Vol
    08 --- 39 --- 0 --- 630 --- NotKP
    09 --- 26 --- 0 --- 630 --- Florida Swamp Beasts
    10 --- 25 --- 0 --- 630 --- Bryan'a Picks
    11 --- 21 --- 0 --- 630 --- Treefrog

    I thought that Fresno State looked as close to a sure thing as a game could be. I guess that's why they play the games.
