Serra and bells played thursday

Yeah that one should just be thrown out.

 

[H.E.A.T.]

Yeah arm chair didn’t need to be Captain obvious 🤣🤣. Or maybe we needed to be more observant.

We killed it this week😂😂😂

 

[H.E.A.T.]

Tc112 by a mile. Been doing football Pickems for years and this has to be worst scoring ever

 

[Streak One]

With the date mix up on the Serra-Bellarmine game, I moved that game down to a 1 spot and moved all other picks up if neeeded. Here are the scores I got, but let me know if you see an error.

This coming week will be our last week for the pick'em contest, but will post some fun pick'em threads during the postseason for anyone who is interested.

TC112 35
M.C. Fan 24
kiddman32 22
observer22 21
Streak One 20
H.E.A.T. 17
ArmchairGOAT 14

Yearly Top 4:

1. Observer22 396
2. Streak One 359
3. kiddman32 356
4. H.E.A.T. 355

 

[H.E.A.T.]

First thing you transposed observer . I believe 369 . Had 348 comint into week 10

I don’t feel that’s the right way to do it . It’s not even across the board . . I think you just throw that game out wherever it was picked like it was a tie and give whatever points were picked . Example
Adjustment score vs actual
Kid 22 vs 18. +4
OBS. 21 vs 21. 0
St 20vs 19. +1
Heat. 17 vs 16. +1
Tc112. 35vs31. +4
Arm. 14 vs 11 +3
Mc 24vs21 +3
So it’s only fair to remove that game and keep everything else in place

Yes, mine should be 369. I didn't even notice that when I read it earlier. I read it as 369. Good catch!

H.E.A.T., Under your scenario there, wouldn't I get an additional 2 pts as well and not zero? That was my #2 pick? I had them in the same spot as Streak? But I'm not sure how those calculations were made? No one should get rewarded for picking Bellarmine as a higher pick, when they lost anyway. Or Serra, when the score was available early. It was just an unfortunate thing that they played prior to when the picks were due. It's Streaks call.

 

[H.E.A.T.]

Streak would Get one point in this scenario Because he pick Laguna Creek at one which Would bump to the two. You had Monterey Trail at one so you’re score wouldn’t change

 

[Streak One]

Yes, observer's score is 369.

Removing the game is how it has been dealt with in the past when there is a game that needs to be removed. So that is the policy on this.

 

[H.E.A.T.]

No streak you move it to the one and then move everything else up so it’s not fair across-the-board. If you just remove the game it would be more accurate

 

[Streak One]

What I’m saying is it has been policy to remove the game and move it down to the one point spot. I should have worded that better in my original post. It is what I have done in football when we have had game issues (smoke, heat, Covid, etc)

 

[H.E.A.T.]

You just repeated what I posted . I know what you do and it’s not fair to all. Look at my post . If someone picks bells at 1or 2 it doesn’t effect them as much as if you picked them higher . Take for example kiddman. He had bells at 5 and got his 1-4 picks correct. You put bells at 1 and you gave Kidman 4 extra points. I’m saying you should just take that game out completely and keep every other game wherever it was picked .

I understand what you want done, HEAT. What I'm saying is I have a policy for when these events come up and I'm not changing my policy

 

[H.E.A.T.]

You’ve also asked on football side if there were any suggestions. How can you award some people extra points for a mistake you made . Explain how
Kiddman gets +4
Tc 112 +4
mc fan +3
Arm chair +3
Streak +1
Heat +1
Observer 0

Please provide a common sense rational of the policy .

 

[Streak One]

Under your proposal, would this be true?

I pick the Bells game as a 10 pointer. So now my max total is 45 points because I remove that game and count all others where they were.

You pick the Bells game as a 3 pointer. So now your max total is 52 points.

 

[H.E.A.T.]

Look at it this way. Hypothetical
I pick
Bells 5. DV 4 SHP 3 Cap 2 and mv 1
You pick
Bells 5 Shp 4 DV 3 cap 2 and SRV 1
With your rule I get 5 you get 6.

When it should be 4-4
