I did the same a couple of years ago…..picked after games started, and I lost all the games I picked. You only lost a game…I lost 3 in the pick 3!
Actually I noticed it early when the game was still 7-0, but dinner and stuff got in the way. I would have brought it up either way. The question of my integrity is misplaced. Track it in whatever manner you choose. I am sure the leaders in this entertaining online game are shaking in their boots.
I'm not questioning your integrity at all. I know had I picked late, I never would have noticed it, unless someone brought it up! I don't think you were trying to cheat in any way shape or form. I notice the group playing this year seems to take it as it is intended…for fun.
If you want to pick another one, go for it. I just want you to have 5 picks total…..so scoring is easier for me!!
Too bad future generations aren't here to see all the great things we are spending their $$ on!!
2) You must make your choices before the games start. This doesn't mean before the first game of the week, but rather whatever games you pick (ie if picking the Thursday game, do it by Thursday night before kick-off, the Sunday games by 10:59am, 1:59pm, or 8:19pm, or whenever kick off is for each game). Once you post a pick, you are locked into that pick.
3) If you forget to pick until after the games have started, you are out of luck. No picks = nothing added to your score, either for win or loss.
Blondie, thank you for catching it and pointing it out yourself, that was very honorable of you in my book. It won't be a loss, it just won't count is all.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
