***** Hey everyone, I need ideas about how best to apply a rule Benduck initiated where in the playoffs, all picks have to be posted before the first game's kickoff and unlike the regular season, we can still enter for other games not yet played... Benduck started this rule for the post season simply because once the first game of the weekend begins, one might want to "revise" not the picks, necessarily, but how many pts. were assigned to each game based on post 1st game kickoff events...

It's harsh to throw out all picks on that basis, but unless someone can come up with a creative solution, I really have no choice but to enforce the rules as written almost 17-18 years ago... but there's no reason we can't collectively come up with a re-write or amendment to those rules -- for next year if nothing else.

I honestly think this is the first time this has ever happened and why it's never come up before.

Not confused, just forgetful.

Actually, more forgetful than I initially thought. Mark me down as DNP for this week.
