Can't pick a game that's already started. Luckily tonight's game is too competitive, so I highly doubt anyone would want to pick it.

Will have it posted this evening.

Week 2 picksheet on the way.
http://www.latechbbb.com/contests/nf...mententry.html
Pick Sheet posted!! Pick your winner carefully. My money's on Detroit!!
:D
I'll help out our "virgin" contest manager THIS time!
Remember, for Survivor, you can only pick a team to win ONE TIME during the season. If you pick a team a second time, the software package will count it as a loss.
2 losses and you are OUT
Points mean NOTHING
To see who is left and who you have picked previously, go to the "Player Summary" report on the report package. If you are eliminated, a line will be through your name. If there isn't a strikethrough, you're still in!
Losses will be in red and correct picks in black
Although tiebreakers are determined by the contest manager, previously we have used the longest streak without a loss to break the tie. (If I were you though, I'd try to get the tiebreaker rules in writing from the contest manager NOW so he doesn't try to pick something that benefits HIM :D )
We'll go by Alphabetical order of the 5th letter in the screenname for the contestants.
:icon_wink:
Is it too late to get in? If you get two losses anyway, I'll just take week one as a loss and be extra careful.
I picked the Saints last week, but my name isn't on there.
Did you get a confirmation e-mail from me?? (Check your spam folder for 'DocMarvin362@gmail.com')
Just a few hours until kickoffs.... get your picks in.
just like last year, my picks ALWAYS act like they want to lose. This week, Washington barely gets by St. Louis.
me too. At least we got Washington out of the way....not too many chances to do that.
I thought I was dead too with Washington. :D
Week 3 Pick Sheet ready:

Week 2 Report Package:

Matt,
You got 2 players who are showing to still be in who should be out due to missed picks in week 1. You'll need to go in a manually record a loss for them.
Chris
wow, only 10 players undefeated right now. How many weeks do y'all figure we'll make it?
Went to week 15 last year
Final results
I hope to make it past 4 this time, sheesh.
Doc, I should be 2-0. Remember I picked the Saints in week 1 and it got messed up somehow. I sent you the email confirming my pick, and you replied back to me, but it is showing me as only getting week 2 pick right.
TDF... correct me if I'm wrong. To get his pick entered, I'll have to open back up week 1, enter the pick, rerun the report package, close and save, reopen week 2, and run the report again.
Is that correct??
No. You can go to the current week and right click on his name. The select "Update" and update the "Survivor Misses" field. That will take care of the prior weeks for that one.
For the Pick Em, you'll can do the same thing to correct for prior weeks by clicking "prior weeks" on the update screen and then update the week in question.
I wonder if anybody else is onto the "pick the opponent of St. Louis" strategery yet....
Here is how I picked against last year. I try to avoid picking against teams with Zero wins. They sometimes burn you. Look at Detroit vs. Washing (albeit Washington is not a good team).
Cincy x 3
Cleveland x 1
Detroit x 2 (I didn't want to get burned)
KC x 1
Miami x 2 (didn't pick'em again after beating NE)
Oakland x 3
Seattle x 1
St. Louis x 2
Early in the season I go with big point spreads - too many unknowns still out there.
Then once we see the good and bad teams, I start picking against 1 or 2 teams depending upon how the spreads look.
It's worked pretty good SO FAR! (Where's some wood to knock on?)
Report package up. Everyone got it right. Nice going everyone.
New Picksheet as well. Just wanted to do it before TDF could whine and cry about it not being here yet. :icon_wink:
http://www.latechbbb.com/contests/nf...mententry.html
Looking ahead a few weeks, week 7 may be a bad week. All of the Bad teams are at home or have byes. I try to see the big picture in the schedule so I plan my future picks.
Carolina Panthers VS. BUF
Cincinnati Bengals VS. CHI (Not a BAD team I guess)
Cleveland Browns VS. GB
Detroit Lions BYE
Jacksonville Jaguars BYE
Kansas City Chiefs VS. SD
Miami Dolphins VS. NO
Oakland Raiders VS. NYJ
Da Bears won and I'm undefeated, just like the Saints!
Everyone won this week. 2 brave souls took Cincinnati and squeaked out a victory.
I'll wait until after the MNF game before running the report.
when is week 5 going up?
Yea... I thought it already was. I was just imformed that it's not.
Chris, if you can, throw me a life jacket. If not, it will have to be after 5:30 when I get home.
If you want to get it out of the way, you can also send me a PM and I'll manually enter it there as well.
There are no Thursday games. We'll wait for you.
Ok, Picksheet is uploaded. I thought that I did it Tuesday... but obviously not!
http://www.latechbbb.com/contests/nf...mententry.html
How'd we do this week? I picked Philly, so I'm still good.
I brought the laptop to work today to get the picksheets (and NFL report) done. Be looking for those here soon.
Okey dokey.... uploading as I type.
Good luck.
Some upsets today and o.t. games. Everybody still lucky ??
I hoped nobody picked Philly @ Oakland. That's is why I hate picking against home teams. This will definitely be the most difficult week to pick so far. Most of the Bad teams are at home or bye.
I had the Jags. I almost forgot to submit my picks so picked the St. Louis opponent with about 10 seconds of thought.
Whew!
Thank you for playing! You can pick up your parting gifts at the door on your way out! :D
Report package and picksheet up.
I think everyone should pick Miami this week
How bout them Colts!
I'm undefeated, just like the Saints.
Carolina finished me off this week. Y'all enjoy the remainder of this contest without me.
Week 6 report:

Week 7 picksheet:

Let's all pick the St. Louis vs Detroit and see who can pick the winner.
:D :D :D :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Chargers keep me undefeated.
Indy saved my bacon late
Report Package and Picksheet are uploading now...
Trying to pick the Lions this week and I get this message
Quote:
The entry deadline has passed and the pool manager is no longer accepting entries.
Please contact your pool manager for more information.
Try again.... the report package uploaded, but the rest of it failed.
You uploaded the report package to the wrong directory. To get to it, you need to go to http://www.latechbbb.com/contests/nf...ersummary.html
anybody else having trouble making picks this week? where is the pick sheet?
Thank you New England! Now I can pick the Bucs or Lions or Rams (ha ha)
1 down for me, I had san fran.
ATL comes through for me
I got lucky again; this time with the seahawks.
Any timeframe on the new sheet, there is a Thursday game.
Not to get personal here, Doc, but bdog05 should be eliminated. Missed the first week and lost on the GB pick.
True. He sent me the e-mail with the confiirmation of the pick, but the program doesn't show the pick.
Report package is uploaded: http://www.latechbbb.com/contests/nf...ersummary.html
Working on getting the picksheet uploaded here shortly.
OK, sorry bdog! Was just looking at the summary and knowing how the program works if you have a week 2 entry. If someone had entered in week 2 it won't pick up week 1 as a loss unless we manually force it by updating the player with a loss.
6 of us left without a loss. Not too shabby.
Bonus item uploaded to the server. Let's see who can find it before the deadline of Sunday morning.
If you want to pick the Thursday night game, then it's honor system pick. You must pick it and submit it PRIOR to kickoff.
Minnesota keeps me undefeated this week. Going to be a tough pick this week. I was gonna pick Houston vs. Tennessee, but Tennessee put some points up late today.
I thought that I was going out on a limb taking Miami... but 2 other people took them as well. Only one person lost this week with one player taking Baltimore in tonight's game.
Some idiot on ESPN Radio said Miami over Tampa was a lock (points-wise). He said Miami was 3 TDs better, the guy probably cost a lot of people a lot of money.
I took the Saints - almost jinxed 'em too!
You better be nervous there nad... They've got Brady at QB this week!!!
.... unfortunantly it's not TOM brady, but Brady Quinn. :D
O.K., Poe's "stately raven(s) of the saintly days of yore" finally prevailed, as expected.
Still a survivor in the contest, so far................
Pick sheet is uploaded.
Thanks Chris...
(for all the rest) I'm unable to upload here at work, so I sent it to Chris for the Alley-oop.
Dallas is working to screw me over. Leave it to the cowgirls and Romolicious.
