According to the standings he got DQ'd from Az's pick'em game for lack of weekly submissions. I don't think he's been around lately.GOONx19;1086667 wrote:Bababooey got third last year and has yet to sign up.

Yah I remember we did 6 rounds I just couldn't remember how many people.
I think 25 people is to many. But I'm good with whatever. But 20 seems more like a logical number.

I agree with everyone else. 20 participants, but once youve missed your second pick (without sending me a list beforehand, if you feel you might miss it) than you are out and an alternate takes over. Ill set the precedent as 2 at ANY time, doesnt have to be two in a row. Lets really work to get people more on top of it this year. check in every 3-4 hours and if you cant send me a list of like 10 players.

I really think we should get through the first 4 rounds on Sunday night for sure.

Yeah, if we coordinate it which I can. Problem is, it doesnt necessarily work out. As soon as ONE person is missing, we have to wait 5 hours.Tiger2003;1086959 wrote:I really think we should get through the first 4 rounds on Sunday night for sure.

Is there a down time during the late night/early morning when you're okay if you don't pick from midnight to 8:00 am?

Id like to keep the limit to 5 hours, but I think midnight to 8am would be fine for a grace period. I think if you suspect you are going to fall in that time, it would be nice to PM me your ideal pick in a list so in case you fall at like 1:12am, we can make the selection and get a few more in. I know a lot of us are on here till 3am some nights.killer_ewok;1086972 wrote:Is there a down time during the late night/early morning when you're okay if you don't pick from midnight to 8:00 am?
Ill also say, anyone whos pick comes during the night and doesnt make a pick has from 8-9am to make the pick. That allows time to wake up and make it. Basically, from midnight to 8am you have your 8 hours. So if you take up that whole 8 hours, than at 8am we will make a pick. But if your pick falls at like 2am when your asleep and the 8 hours at night would take you till 10am, but the 5 hours only till 7am. I will give you the 1 hour wake up period.
Hope that makes sense. It did in my head lol.

I saw this pick 'em last year and thought it was great, so can't wait to do it this year. I think I've even talked some friends into getting 15 or so people to do it for like $5 each too, haha.

It was more fun for me than brackets. But I think that was cause I ws interested even when the games were over in the early rounds with like 15 minutes to play.Terry_Tate;1087042 wrote:I saw this pick 'em last year and thought it was great, so can't wait to do it this year.

I think it's because the brackets are incorporated into the game. I'm going to draft people from teams I have going the furthest, so I might find someone a lot more valuable than you.Laley23;1087049 wrote:It was more fun for me than brackets.
Example: last year I took Kalin Lucas in the 5th round because I had MSU upsetting UF 2nd round and making it to the Elite 8.

I agree with that. Even though it was for no money. I had big money on brackets and it was still fun. Of course, my bracket blew up quickly so maybe that played a role.lhslep134;1087110 wrote:I think it's because the brackets are incorporated into the game.

If you organize it, let me know. I'd get in if you were taking outsiders. I've tried. Very few folks who really care enough to do stuff outside of a standard bracket.Terry_Tate;1087042 wrote:I saw this pick 'em last year and thought it was great, so can't wait to do it this year.

Remember take a player that's in a play in game, they will get you alot of points when they make it to the Final Four!
