How does that one work? This basically just works as a tournament style pick 'em, which is just any number of matchups between two options.


I thought that was more like drafting a team and getting points based on results.

We try and get in 12 rounds. You legit just pick a player from a team in the tournament.  Your points = the points they score in all their games. We have 1st/2nd/3rd, high game, and high total scorer.

Ok, the current pick 'em system couldn't really manage something like that. I might see if Claude can enhance it with something like that. Would either need a spreadsheet of player names to import, or you'd just have to type in each pick manually. The admin would just be entering in the points for each player. Could make the draft automatic where you set the order and then you just get a notification when the person before you picks.

Oh I just meant the tagging. Keep people alert to their time to pick.

Got it, I was mixing two features up. Yes, the tagging should help. I would like to add in where it will actually send you an email as well.

But, I might try building out what I described for shits and giggles if I get bored one night.

That would be sick. But the spreadsheet would be enormous. 700 players. Maybe you can pull them from an existing site though...?

Testing if you can tag a bunch of people in a single post, I never really tested that when I was building it.

It's still a little finicky. Best bet is to make sure you hit enter once or twice after selecting the user from the dropdown. I'll see if I can fine-tune it a bit.

It would be cool if you could get the email notification to work and he started getting emails we were tagging him.

If you were creating a game that was basically Wordle but every answer was related to Ohio (and not just limited to 5 letters), what would you call it?


Best idea I've had so far is Bucktionary.

I have another game idea I am working on now. We'll see how the initial testing goes to see if it's worth releasing to the public.

Anyone have an issue with the text being too small on a phone or are my eyes just shit?
