Sorry for taking so long to get back here. It's been quite a week.
Yes, people are strongly urged to get their picks in before the early games deadline. However, when anyone who missed the early game (or games) wants to get their picks in for the remaining unplayed games they have always been able to do so (with penalty), and I have posted on various boards to that effect in the past.
Someone recently suggested that people should have to forfeit their top weight as well as lose out on the games they missed, and I agree with that. Up until now I have just been hitting the random button to generate the weights for the missed games.
Anyway, sorry for any confusion or controversy. Rest assured there's no favoritism going on, if the picks don't make it to the admin email before the allotted time the person loses out, period. But the option to get remaining picks in after missing the early game has always been in place.
I have several times in the past posted about this. In the 4 years I've been running this, and in all the years of me participating in this as well as the other pools such as the JBM one, even the GFY one from back around 2002, people have always been able to at least get the remainder of their picks entered when they missed early games.
Btw, a lot of people don't seem to get the update emails the pool sends out. This may be due to them having an old outdated email address in their pool profile, or they don't have the "accept updates from admin" option checked. I've had at least two people ICQ me about it so far this year saying they didn't get the emails, and when I had them log into their user info they found the problem --- a no longer working email address.
Thoughts? Suggestions? The main intention here is for this to be an extremely fun pool for everyone, and definitely my main role in all this is to see that it is.
