Hello All,
Because of the downtime this week, a section of our tipping competition couldn't get their picks in. This is making me think I should just drop this week and continue on with next week.
But I thought maybe I should make a post and ask for opinions. Right now (haven't had a chance to look through it yet, have to go to work in a minute), I am guessing around 12-15 of the 50 tippers couldn't get their picks in this week. 2 haven't for a couple weeks now, they probably gave up or something else happened. But that still leaves 10 who couldn't get picks in due to downtime and we usually do have quite a few who get it in last minute.
Personally, I don't think they should be penalized for down time. Just part of the bargain when we are hosting it on the message board instead of a different site. I am thinking - drop this week and start it up next week as normal. I really don't think this was a huge week were big swings could be made, seemed kind of easy for most. No real upsets (except for a couple, looking at you Giants!).
So, what do you think?
In the future, to stop it, I could post my email address and that would give people an option to get their picks to me even if the forum goes down. But I think this is a rare case with complications from Sandy.
Anyway, I am rambling
Let me know.
PS. In future weeks, I am going to shake things up and introduce - Hidden Games of the week. Mwhahaha
