Everything is set the same as last year except: Since there were some issues with late entries, I have set the deadline to 5 minutes before each game. Now, should we remove the dropped week because of this change? The poll is set for 7 days.
I voted yes to have no dropped weeks. We have the short week and then some people will have short weeks due to late entries. I see no need to drop with the deadline being 5 minutes before each game.
Voted yes. I kind of like the idea of a "drop week" but it only works if all weeks are equal. Since the last week is a short week, you can't afford to drop a regular week, and then by definition the last week doesn't really come into play if you drop one.
I agree with Stu, if all the weeks were the same points available then 1 dropped week would be fine, but since they aren't we might as well go with no dropped weeks, esp given the new way Tom has set things up.
Tom Do you have the option of cutting it off before the short week comes up? I don't have a problem with "no drops". One becomes meaningless if we can't get rid of the short week...
I think Terry said it best, if you enter every week then everyone ends up dropping the short weeks any way.
To answer Scott's question, we don't have an official option to stop the website on a certain week. We DO have the ability to end the Skybox tabulation at any point we want to. I will look back through the spreadsheets I have. I think the first short week coincides with the conference championship games. After reviewing the sheets, I will start another poll.
