Rule question for the board.

[Walter]

There has been a challenge made to the change of Trn's pick late.

The challenge states a rule claimed to be in place that no picks can be altered after the kickoff of the first game of the week.
A post from 2014 was posted as evidence of this rule.

I do not recall such a rule and have always considered the actual kickoff of the game in question to be the cutoff for changing picks.

I need a replay call from the members.

1. Is there such a rule that after kickoff of the first game of the week that no changes can be made?
2. What do you think the rule should be for changing picks late?

I thought it was before the kickoff of that game, which is why I thought I had 9 and not 8…but I’ll stand by whatever.

1. I do kind of remember that being how it was done.

2. IMO, that should be the rule here. This isn’t Vegas with money on the line, it’s a shits and giggles contest.

'that' being kickoff of the particular game?

Many here pick a Thursday or Friday game and then follow up with Sat games.
If first kickoff of first game were the rule, all picks would have to be in before, say, a Thurs kickoff.

OTOH, (and this never happens), someone could theoretically pick games all through the day on Saturday, which would be a nightmare to regulate and compile. Also, an early result of a game could influence a day's pick later, giving a player an advantage.

So perhaps first KO of first game THAT DAY is the way to go.

Note:
You got NCSt.
I have you down for FSU, Kansas, NCSt, Oregon, Tenn, Troy, Wisky, and AZst. as wins.

Good point and yes, I was referring more to Saturday games. Forgot about the Thu/Fri games. IMO, yes…having picks in before first kickoff of that day’s game seems reasonable.

Got it. Sorry…for some reason I thought UCLA covered.

I have been late from time to time...I just took the loss and moved on. Save the headache for bigger things.

I had no recollection of that whatsoever, but others (3 now) do, so that is the rule going forward.

I hope you didn't put that Tuesday night game on the list this week.
