2016 BGO NFL Pickem Contest!

Guys...the numbers, whether it's China at 37-26-0 or Fear at 32-30-0, those ARE wins-losses-ties. For some folks, the 'loss' # may be very large. That is because those folks have selected all games for the season (maybe they went through and selected all of the home teams or 'favorites' proactively). Thats a glitch that the vendor is working on. Bottom line is that it is the total wins you accumulate (not accuracy percentage) that determines your ranking and who wins at the end of the contest.

One thing that is different using this web version - the rankings and numbers are not accurate until I 'lock' the week every week after the final game of that week. I didn't have to do that previously, and I could also set the week to auto-lock after the last game. I will try and get better about locking the week as soon as possible after the last game so you all see accurate standings.

As for the 'Points' #, you can ignore that until we get to the end of the season. Those are 'tie breaker' points. Every week, when you predict the total combined points for a single game, that is the 'tie breaker' should folks have the same record. It's used to figure out the finishing order for folks who have the same winning record each week, and it can also break record ties at the end of the year (the tie-breaker points add up over the course of the season).

I hope that helps clear some of this up. Thanks for everyone's patience. I'm confident the web-based version will be much better than the desktop version we've used in all previous contests, it'll just take a bit for everyone to get used to the layout. The vendor also has planned a mobile version, so we have that to look forward to.


You do too much, thank you!
 
Thanks for clearing that up Boone, I couldn't understand why I was Minus 23 points. I don't think I'm going to be anywhere near the running for the top placed contender so I'll not worry about that for now. LOL
