    8.5 hours left and 10 still have not made their picks. Make sure that you are not one of them.

    Anyone have any issues with me removing anyone that has missed more than half of the weeks?

    i am proposing dropping:

    BostonIrish: Missed 7 out of 7 weeks so far

    mrsjoco: missed 6 out of 7 weeks so far

    AJNJ's Son: missed 4 out of 7 weeks so far

    None of the three have posted picks for this week as well.

    Boston Irish won't be playing any more so certainly drop him. I assume Diane is also out, I don't think Mike was really into the contest, but does appreciate the sentiment for his Dad.

    question:

    What is the benefit in dropping them? Can they not come and go to play at their choosing?

    Well it appears that it doesn't matter. The actions tab is greyed out so I don't know if I could drop them if we decided to.

    Corey, it really doesn't matter I guess. I am just a "tidy up loose ends" kind of guy. People that have not made at least half of the weeks really don't have time for the contest or have lost interest. We have drop outs every year that for one reason or another decide to never come back.

    Hey,

    I just checked my picks and it shows me incomplete???

    My picks are there and confidence points as well, but everything is grayed out.

    The last i looked yesterday everything was fine.

    Anyone else experienced anything like this?

    Don

    Whoops, looks like I forgot to enter a tie breaker score for the Missu and Texas Game. My fault.

    Don,

    You also did not make a selection as to who would win the Pitt vs Navy game. You gave it 5 points but chose no winner.

    Attention: Friday night game in the contest again this week!

    I appreciate all you wonderful people that are pretending to make mistakes in your picks each week to keep me competitive but I would rather beat you when you are at your best! 8) Please check your picks on Friday morning to make certain all is well. :wink:

    Well, he was around this week but didn't get his picks in. Scott will fall from 6th place this week with his first missed week.

    WTF???

    I didn't realize they locked all the games once the first game started.
    I figured I'd put in my other picks and be fine.

    That's a pretty sorry system...

    :roll:

    Scott,

    It has been that way every week. Once it is 5 minutes before kickoff of the first game, all picks are shown. Once you see the picks of other members, it would not be fair to be able to make your picks.

    All games are on Saturday this week. Get you picks in at least 5 minutes before the kickoff of the first game.

    "Irish Eyes are smilin" only has a partial set of picks in according to the blanks showing in the last 5 games. He is in 13th place within easy reach of the top 10 and needs to complete them!

    Both Scott and BuckeyeT had incomplete picks this week. Scott put 8 points on the Pitt vs. Louisville game but did not select a winner. Terry put 17 on Texas vs Baylor without selecting a winner.
