You can make your picks right up until game time (using the opening lines) of any games - Of course you cannot pick a game after it kicks off. Once picks are made you cannot change them for any reason. If you have not made your 3rd pick at Kickoff of Monday nights game this week you are disqualified. Missed picks/weeks for any reason count as loses and the player WITH THE MOST WINS (ties will be used only as tie breakers)...WINS

$1000 cash.
1 free drink with the Vice Lord and "Lil Precious" when I deliver prize winnings
1 $50 coupon from Red Lobster
3 Courtside seats to a DU basketball game

Just saving the rules and prizes.

These were the original rules from p. 5 of the old VL thread. It looks like Most Wins was the rule.
Using 1/2 point for ties seems reasonable also, jmc made a good argument for it and the NFL rules use that method to score the standings. http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures

The following procedures will be used to break standings ties for postseason playoffs and to determine regular-season schedules.

NOTE: Tie games count as one-half win and one-half loss for both clubs.
TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION

If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined.
Two Clubs

1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).

So far I think Viking, TPP, and Joe voted for most wins, and jmc, pacamom for 1/2 point Ties.
Somehow this needs to be decided and someone will be unhappy. (Except me, I just don't care)

Maybe we should just stick with the original rule? Or use majority rules if everyone votes to change it?
This is my last post on this question, I tried my best to get a resolution. Cheers!

Someone tell CG to make picks in the late games. Or did I just not see her picks?

I have been really sick the last couple days. Give me a few and I will pick the late games. Sorry.

No need to appologize. Just didn't want you to miss out and I hope you get better quick.

She's probably droping out due to lack of interest..Another one bites the dust!
