*** Official CRS CFB Pick 'em DISCUSSION ***

I like the idea of ecred for placings.  Whatever is easiest to do -- top 5 makes some sense, but participation has its merits too. 

It might be OK to give everyone a point when the score equals the spread -- the pick wasn't wrong, so the person will be listed as (for example) getting 6/10 instead of 5/10 correct, which seems more accurate in that circumstance.

I would like to see a list of the winning picks each week if not too much trouble.

Thanks for organizing this.

You dont see the 'modify' button?

I do see "modify" for my posts from today, but not for my picks yesterday.

Oh yeah, I forgot that there is a time limit to how long you can edit a post.  It is to prevent people from going back and changing the conversation after the fact.  For now post any changes in here and one of the mods will go fix up your official post.  This problem will all go away pretty soon once I get the web page built for entering your picks.

I am planning to have a web page you can go to and see the winning picks, and maybe some check marks and X's by your picks to show if you got it right.

For the tie scenario I think I will go with the no bet idea for now.  So that week there would only be 9 games instead of 10.  It won't count for you or against you, regardless of what you picked.

Did someone sticky this thread or did I do it when I merged?

I unstickied it because I dont remember seeing it up there.

I haven't messed with the sticky/unsticky, at least not that I can remember.

Makes sense, there is no reason to give everyone a half-point, just complicates the numbers.  I was still deciding how to handle it.  I was gonna wait til it came up and poll the group.

The web page sounds awesome.  What will you need me to do after it's ready?  Just pick the games and TB?

Yep, that should be it.  Eventually I will try to have some admin pages for you to enter that stuff into, but for the first pass I will probably need to stick them in the DB manually once you are ready.  The key next step is to get the page where you enter your picks done.  Once that one is done I can run my code that reads the database and calculates all of the scores.

That's neat you can do that stuff, and I thought my spreadsheet was nifty (sorting by two variables).

I was impressed with your spreadsheet.

While an informal contest, I enjoyed the "Pick the Score" contest on TS? The more games the better. JMHO. Comments?

Sounds good. Use the same games from the Pick'em contest?

I have a question.

What does this rule mean? "Be sure you pick winners AGAINST THE SPREAD only."

Please explain it in terms a noob like me can understand.

Thanks!

Welcome TB. Let's say Bama is the favorite over Penn State by 10.5, you'll see that Bama is   -10.5. If you think Bama will win by more than 10.5, you pick Bama. If you think they win by less than 10.5 or that Penn State will win, then you would pick Penn State.

Whoever is favorite, take the "spread" and subtract it from their score at the end of the game to see who "wins".
