It's That Time: Lombardi Handicappers League Season Four (FOOTBALL PICK'EM)

[SlowwHand]

Your first reason offsets the second though.

[-Jrabbit]

The system's the system, and the rules are clear.

Well, it's a handicapper league and Team Rush has just handicapped itself. Oh well.

Fortunately, there's nothing at stake but stupid pride (and so far, Berz has as many right as I do )

[reismark]

I gave all of you sufficient warning that the CBS system requires that all picks be in prior to the first game, whenever it is (Thursday, Saturday...)

[Chris 62]

I had the G men.

Reis, no system is perfect, I couldn't even get in till 24 hours before game time, it's the price we pay for being to lazy to do manual totals

[rah]

A little rigid and unforgiving, but it's great to see the results right away, instead of waiting for 5 or 6 weeks for Reis to have a little free time.

Yes, slightly exaggerated for effect.

Uhhhh.... not really... we did wait that long last year on a few occasions

The rules are the rules... I don't see a problem with it.

[SuperSneak]

I say we add a caning or two for further infractions.

Man...some of you sure are hung up on rules!
Blah!

Nahhh... It's more simple than that. We agreed to use CBS to make things easier. One of the things they ask is that you make your picks before the first game of the week. If you weren't aware of that, you were oblivious.
I don't think that it is asking too much since that's how MOST pools work.

[SuperSneak]

So are we going by CBS tallies or some adjusted Reis tally? I'm not sure...didn't it work out last year that people were winning overall as a result of not making as many picks and therefore having a better overall percentage or something?
If that's the way it works, there are a few games a week I'd pass on, just 'cause they are so tough to call.
I think that the final analysis should be based on what teams have picked all the games...

[SlowwHand]

I really hate to see Berz missed out, and my Slackers team mate Drake; but if we're using the service, then we should use the service.

[Berzerker]

For the record, I did know the rules, just didn't know there was a Thursday game.

[-Jrabbit]

He may be Sloww, but he's right.

No problem, Berz. Stuff happens.

[SuperSneak]

He may be right, but he sure is Sloww....

[reismark]

One missed week for one player (key emphasis on one) shouldn't have too much of an impact since we're playing by the law of averages...
