Scottie4Hottie - i'm thinking for march we should try out percentage instead of record. in order to win you have to have picked maybe 2/3 of the total games? that way missing a day isn't as big of a punishment

Read the link in the op  . 3-5 games will be selected each morning, you have to pick the winner. Whoever ends up picking the most correctly wins. So far we've only done basketball. We've talked about potentially adding in baseball when the season starts as well |

It's a monthly competition where you choose who you think will be the winner of the Basketball game (maybe other sports if it's the offseason or not enough) From Browntown: ey I guys I decided to create a pick em challenge. Any one can join. The sooner you place your picks in this thread, the less of a chance you have to finish in last place. I will present a point by point on the rules I have thought of for the thread. Anyone who's involved can add their ideas. Everything is welcomed here. We can always add more rules and stipulations. . This thread will be a month to month contest. I can still tally the overall records, if this idea hits the ground lol. . There will be 3 to 5 games everyday in which each contestant has to select the winner. . If you are game then you need to be committed. You can't back out. You can potential end up in last place. You must comply to the punishment. . My idea is that, the person who's in first place by the end of the month will select the last placed guy's avatar. Until next months results come in. Any avatar is game. . We can pick any sport. We can rotate on a daily or 2 day bases for the next person to pick the match ups of the day. . If you miss the deadline for the pick then its an automatic loss. So make your picks before the deadline. Any question? Just let me know if you're interested e can start tonight or tomorrow. Oh and please add your input. Those are the current rules and may be changed. I'm sure another thread will be made for the April's challenge. |

should make a rule to have selected games at least 6 hours before the games start.
browntown was good for most of the time but i think there were a handful of days when he was kinda too close to game time.
maybe have 3 games managers? browntown, TSK, bot?

I really don't mind if we rotate on game every 3 days. I've mentioned it before. But we need to have people select game that are 50/50 or close to it. |

I think something like only missing 20% is better. |

Are we going to rotate
OR
if the games haven't been chosen yet, then this person posts, and then if that person didn't choose, then another person chooses?

I think something like only missing 20% is better. The issue with setting a specific amount of number of games per month, is that it will be hard to judge because of the matches per day. But if we can all agree that percentage will be applied once a person hits 110 games. Then I'm ok with that. |

Sure or a person can just let us know that he wants to select tomorrows games. The deadline to place the matches everyday should be at 10 am Eastern. If not TSK, you or I can just step in and make the matches. TSK can keep tabs together, since I have his email lol. |
