Skywalker, can you explain the rules for "Pick The Score"?

[paulxu]

SkyWalker also mentioned that entries won't be accepted after tipoff anymore. He calls it the PaulXU rule, but it should be the KabeX rule. I know it's gametime once his pick comes in.

I think he's going with the schedule for TV for when the game starts; for example, FS 1 says tonight's game is at 8:30...and that's the deadline.

They might not tip off until 8:41 (or something) because an earlier game goes long, no one is sitting in their seats, unusual rendition of national anthem, drudy loses his shorts, Kahn's takes extra long bathroom break, whatever. But a 8:35 entry doesn't count anymore, even if it's Skywalker's daughter.

(Like I should care with my track record)

You forgot the rule that if you pick Xavier's opponent to win, and Xavier wins, you lose 100 points.

Well, it should be a rule.

With a bonus wedgie!

(Unless you like that kind of thing.)

Yes, this!

Wow, I missed this thread altogether. Sorry WHEELHOUSE. Thanks MUSKIEFAN82 for providing the rules. I agree with everything said inm this thread except losing 100 points if you pick against X and they win, especially tonight. I have always struggled with when picks should be cut off. Last Saturday my daughter, who was in like 5th place overall, posted at 2:09. She was disqualified; thus the introduction of the PAULXU rule. I do recall several years back, someone picked the score of a Thanksgiving tournament game a couple hours after the game had ended --- and they weren't even close.

Don't blame Go. Things are tough in Kansas.
