Jersey Contest Reminder

by Dave on Nov 10, 2008 11:19 PM PST

Just a reminder that you can find the form for the Miami game Wednesday here. Also at that page you can find links to the monthly scoreboard and scoreboards for all individual games. We've had some sick high scores lately!

A couple things to note:

1. I'm catching up on the bonus prize notifications. Expect them by the end of the week.

2. The Los Angeles game scoreboard is still listing incorrectly though the individual scores the administrator has access to are correct. Here is how we're handling it:

--The L.A. game score is not listed as part of the November monthly scoreboard. The number you got in the L*kers game is not showing right now in your final total.

--At the end of the month we're going to add the L.A. scores to anyone withing shouting distance of the leader. We're doing it this way to avoid having to manually add in 300+ scores. Instead we'll only have to tabulate 20 or so. Be aware that the listed November leader is leading without those scores having been counted. We won't know who actually won until they're factored in.

Are we doing the thing where everyone has to skip a game?

This manually adding the LA game is great— its like provisional and absentee ballots. Is anyone following the Minnesota senate race? Craziness.

No

We haven’t done the game skipping for a long time.

Dave we need to do the game skipping thing

because I missed a game somewhere but have been right on target on the 3 games I predicted! Please for me, if I win I am going to give the jersey to the needy, I am sure no one else has such a charity set up for their winnings!

I kind of wish...

…we still had the mandatory skip a game per contest rule. Not just because somehow I’ve already missed a game but because it added a level of potential strategy as well as a safety net of forgiveness if for some reason you did miss a game. I use to like to either pick a game I thought was going to be difficult for everyone and/or save my skipped game for a weekend I knew I’d be gone. Oh well, guess I just hang until December.

I am devastated!

I checked 3 times on the day before the last game to fill out a form…but no form. I forgot to check on the day of the game! alas!

What a ride!

Here’s the thing … I may be called into international waters briefly for work. If I have to miss a game or two, how does that work with the scoring?

Over my old 'Sheed jersey!

I’ll get some merchant marine to let me use his $200-a-minute dial-up connection just to stay ahead of you and your hibiscus-print shirts.

Very kind, tom.
It’s actually a cruise ship, so they should have a decent internet connection. but it’s a brand-new ship, so sometimes things don’t always work out that well. this is one of those rare fun work-related trips. (Free drinks and food on a cruise ship for two days.) the problem is I miss two games … unless, of course, the ship is so advanced that they have nbatv.
I’ll check with the captain. (hmmm… I wonder if Capt.SexyJacob will be aboard?)

One improvement I would love to see, on the scoreboard can we please get our name bolded or highlighted, or something. It is kinda hard to find them amoung so many names.

Use the "Ctrl+F" find function.

Much easier.

Does anybody actually predict the Blazers will lose so you can get more points for this?

I struggle voting against the Blazers in this “game.” Additionally, I always feel the Blazers are so unpredictable at times, to go against them is the poorer choices (just as in real life!!!)

ooops

well I typed in Bow2Meow instead of Bow4Meow and now have two separate scores, pretty shabby ones at that. Somehow I missed one game but Im not asking for a favor there. Is it possible to combine b2m and b4m into one b4m. Not sure if you can tell they came from the same puter, but they did and both from me, well actually Bonzi made the choices, I just typed em in cuz his paws just mash the keyboard.

HCO?

There's always next month.

(Bonzi the decision maker? Interesting game plan.)
