You Better Read The Rules

The rules state that your next game must be with in 7 days.....which means you must make a play before Sept 23,2006....12:00 noon Eastrn time.....so you must make your play on one of the early games......if you don't.....back to 0 you go......just a heads up.....thought i'd remind you......GL

He'll probably pick saturday morning like last week and I really doubt he reads these forums

as long as the game is listed before the deadline he can pick it . the game can be tomorrow in that case . i'm not sure , but i believe thats how it works .

dif that is incorrect!! The game must be today!!

ok thanks for confirming that , he better pick something soon then :) he's welcome to validate my pics , i'm hitting around 70% of o/u's .

No where in the rules does it say it has to be before 12:00 Eastern. You better go read the rules

How do you string a 19 spot with a record like this. 2007 Season WLT Pct Units Ranking ATS Picks 33-39-3 45.83% -4610 8982 of 10148 O/U Picks 42-50-2 45.65% -6900 8013 of 8432 All Picks 75-89-5 45.73% -11510 9819 of 10247 2006 Season WLT Pct Units Ranking ATS Picks 924-891-24 50.91% -23346 24145 of 26362 O/U Picks 752-703-54 51.68% -7870 18790 of 22052 All Picks 1676-1594-78 51.25% -31216 24329 of 26717 2005 Season WLT Pct Units Ranking ATS Picks 145-192-5 43.03% -29399 11826 of 12547 O/U Picks 85-105-11 44.74% -14640 9513 of 10048 All Picks 230-297-16 43.64% -44039 12057 of 12682

runwithit, just because he has a lousy overall record, that doesn't mean he has ONE strong play that hits consistently like he has been doing.... i mean, who really takes the time to cap all those games in a real serious way in the contests on here while punching in games across the board? some people just punch in whatever team they think will win and take a chance.... just like people on here that have a HORRIBLE record overall in certain sports...but they're REALLY good with ONE or TWO teams...and have about a 85% winning % with those teams... doesn't make sense....but then again neither does hitting 21 in a row....??

Toronto, I can agree with your statements and believe me when I tell you I would love to see this guy do it. GL to all today.

Cookster, that cannot be true. DP has Cal.. that is a 12:30pm Pacific time/3:30PM Eastern time game. That is not early...Now, I haven't read the rules, but logic dictates that you must make a play today and make it before noon Eastern, it can be any game that day, but must be made before noon Eastern, but it can be a 7PM that day game... Is that correct? anyone for sure know if I'm correct.... Where does one go to read the rules of this contest? I just want to clarify...ty good luck to all

I'm not sure what's so hard to understand about this rule when it can't be stated any clearer: "If you fail to make a pick in 7 days, your score is reset to 0. For instance, if you win a game played on Wednesday, you must pick another game played on or before the following Wednesday."

and his last pick was before 11 last week and today after eleven which means it took him MORE than the 7 days given streak should be over he will lose anyway though ||an_shake.gif' border=0>

There is nothing in the rules about making picks before a certain time on a given day. What are you people reading?

I'll tell you exactly what im reading- If you fail to make a pick in 7 days His 7 days were up at 11 this morning and his pick wasnt in ||Peace_5.gif' border=0>

it then proceeds to say your score will be reset to

One more time....this is exactly what the rules say........ "If you fail to make a pick in 7 days, your score is reset to 0. For instance, if you win a game played on Wednesday, you must pick another game played on or before the following Wednesday." Again....where does it say ANYTHING about the time of day?

"If you fail to make a pick in 7 days, your score is reset to 0. Why choose to skip this first sentence his pick wasn't made in seven days it was made AFTER

I'm not skipping the first sentence! If you read on....it will explain that it doesn't matter what time of day the pick is made or played!

Here is the point im making- If you fail to make a pick in 7 days, your score is reset to 0. For instance, if you win a game played on Wednesday, you must pick another game played on or before the following Wednesday. Ok. His last pick was last saturday at 11am. He then has seven days to make a pick. His seven days were up at 11 today and his pick was not in. Hence he did not make a pick in seven days. If you know their is 24 hrs in a day you can figure this out. He was PAST the seven day deadline.

Read the rule! It says you must pick another game played on or before the same DAY of the week! There is NOTHING about time in the rules! Does anyone know an easier way to explain this to someone that just can't seem to comprehend a simple rule?

The simple rule is he has 7 days to make a pick. At 11 this morning his seven days was up. His PICK WAS NOT IN UNTIL AFTER ELEVEN HENCE IT WOULD BE AN EIGHTH DAY you don't get more than 24 hours in a day shmagu im sorry

OK.....we'll see if his pick counts or not! It's really not that hard to understand "if you win a game played on Wednesday, you must pick another game played on or before the following Wednesday."

i'll post this in the help and we can see if we will get a definate answer||Peace_5.gif' border=0>

I understand what you're saying, but that's exactly why that second sentence is there to clarify the rule.
