Yes, absolutely... and in those weeks anyone who sent their picks to the admin email before Sunday's games commenced got the remainder of their picks entered and was penalized for the games they missed. I'm sorry if I missed some people's posts, it's difficult to stay on top of every post in every thread on every board. However, the option has always been available, and I have posted about it in past years and this year in reply to such posts.

Again I'll ask, would it be better to just eliminate thursday games from the pool all together?

Maybe I should put up a poll about it in the pool.


GG I don't want bad feelings about this. I sense you are more miffed than I first thought you were. In all honesty I posted about it because one person raised the subject and I thought it might be a good idea to talk about it. I'm rather surprised it has raised anyone's hackles this much.

That week I missed the Thursday game because I was so sick midweek and I was not about to ask anyone to add my picks after the deadline, simply because I don't like the idea.

In the past three years, I have been in 6 other pools (away from adult biz), and I also run 2 of my own every year. I respect the deadline and do not allow any late picks, I have made that clear and not a single person in my pools has had any objections. The other 6 that I am in has the same rule. You miss the Thursday game, you miss the week.


The late picks usually don't effect me in any way, because I always suck

I've put it to a poll for everyone in the pool to weigh in on. There should be enough votes in about a week's time to know how most people feel about it. You've been in 6 other polls that do it differently, I've been in 3 or 4 that do it differently. As long as all the picks made are entered before the games actually start and those games missed are forfeit no one should have a problem.

But this isn't an issue worth anyone quitting the pool over. If there was some kind of blatant pick-changing going on after the fact I'd say it would be worth it, definitely, but that's not the case here. As I said I was hoping we could open this up for discussion and talking about it without anyone getting bent out of shape and walking away. I'm disappointed to see that that has happened.
