 Things remain tight at the top of the Weekend Competition, where it took a 12 of 15 week just to keep pace with the leaders. Janet Tolopka still holds a 1 point lead over Alan Hevner, with Sue Zofchak and Your Commission on their heels. And it's either a bad year for winning at home or a great year for pulling guesses out of your butt as Random leads Home Teams by a full dozen points and the latter is dead last in the pool.
Monday Night is also a barn-burner as Farzin Daruwala's lead over Anand Rajan has shrunk to a mere 3 points. Kudos to Michael Swieczkowski for high score of the week, moving him into the top ten.
Week 17 Schedule has been updated with correct start times for the games that had not been scheduled. Note that Week 17 has a WEDNESDAY GAME as there are TWO games played on Christmas Day to go with a Thursday game, three more on Saturday, and the rest on Sunday. Week 18 game times are still TBA.
As we move toward the holiday season, remember that you can "pick ahead"
for any upcoming weeks -- no reason to get stuck with the defaults!
Picks are changeable up until games start each week, so you can always
redo 'em if you get buyer's remorse. |
This would be a burning barn except for the holidays ...

Scoring Reminder: Beginning
with the 2011 season, we changed the way that default scores are
computed for the week. Specifically:
-
You can make picks for any game until that game begins.
-
If you make NO picks for the Weekend competition in a given
week, you receve the default Weekend score for the Weekend
competition for that week.
-
If you make ONE OR MORE picks for the Weekend competition
in a given week, you are scored normally for the picks you
made. Any picks that were omitted score zero points.
-
If you DO NOT make a Monday Night pick in a given week, you
receive the default Monday Night score for the Monday Night
competition for that week.
-
If you DO make a Monday Night pick in a given week, you are
scored normally for your pick.
-
The Weekend and Monday Night competitions are now considered
SEPARATELY for purposes of default scoring. That is, you can
receive a default score for one competition while being scored
normally for the other competition. For example: If you fail
to make Weekend picks but do make a Monday Night pick, then
you receive the default score for that week in the Weekend
Competition but are scored normally for the Monday Night competition.
For examples of how this works, see Get
Your Picks In On Time (And Default Scoring) on the Help page.
