Message:Joey, you would start at +1, but have ALL games available to pick from, as opposed to our 4-7 games.

Message:I kept posing the question whether to use 0, 1, 2, 3, vs. -3, -1, +1, 3, and it seemed as tho you had decided on the 0, 1, 2, 3. But it doesn't make joining late untenable. Whoever enters late, as you posited, would just be 2 points behind whatever the lowest score currently was. At least I believe that's what you said.
That said, it'd be pretty easy to re-calculate (at this early point, pun intended) using -3, -1, +1, +3.
And did we/you ever decide how to treat ties? There sure have almost been several of them.
Lastly...….what's up with this "y'all" stuff? Endearing, tho. LOL.

Message:you are right... it was supposed to be -1 for missed picks. my bad. I will go back and do the minus for the games. (means I'm sucking even more than before! LOL)
well, as far as what was "decided" - there never was a clear confirmation on what the rules were going to be. I was hoping for something more decisive from the peanut gallery, but what ended up was I posted rules, TN made alternative suggestions, and nobody weighed in on those.
I had suggested that ties get a zero, and the games are released back to pick from, but if we are doing -1 for loss, and +1 for win, do we even need to? Zero and move on as usual?
with the minuses for losses, starting out at -4 from lowest score is more extreme if we are doing -1(loss) to +1(win), but the newcomer will need to have some kind of negative, because he/she has the full array of games to pick from, instead of our 4-7 games.
I hope "all y'all" can chime in regarding....
> ties (my new suggestion: zero, games are still removed from picks following 2 weeks)
> what is the penalty for late-comers?

Can I keep up the 2 out of 3 record?

User: TNmountainman
Message:Since we're going with the +/- scoring system, the thought occurs to me to ask if it's conceivable that a participant could pick less than 3 picks for a week - to avoid the subtraction of a point. I went back and read "the rules", though, and the very first one says "3 picks" (paraphrased). So I'm not advocating this - just thinking out loud (as it were). Certainly this past week I would have taken that option, and I knew 2 of my 3 picks could go either way. I would still have likely stayed with (either) Ravens over Steelers, OR Atlanta over Cincy, but not both. I actually found myself pulling for the Ravens vs. the Steelers (barely), altho I don't like them either.
But...…..these kinds of tough choices were what I envisioned by forcing the contestants to get outside some comfort zone -- and it sure seems to be doing that. And everyone has at least 6 choices this week. Should we tweak the rules to permit picking only two games IF, and only IF the participant has say, less than 6 choices to use? Again, one *could* significantly avoid this problem by looking ahead. I ain't gonna do it; just sayin'. I think I'd vote 'no' on this idea, but I'm just throwing it out there in case the rest of you think it's an enhancement.

Message:Ooop! My bad. I meant Chargers over the Raiders,, which was my only possible pick there. I could not have picked the Niners to win or to lose.
So, my three picks were:

Message:As to Snowguy...…..well, there *is* Klinefelter Syndrome, but he doesn't seem like the type.
Date: Thu Oct 18 13:42:46 2018
User: TNmountainman
Message:Ok, here's my latest crazy idea...…….
When there's an OT game, instead of the contestant getting a +/-1 (assuming there's a winner in OT), let the contestant have a +/- 1/2. The point being, the teams tied in regulation, so that's about as close as a game can get. Seems 'imprecise' to have that situation be the equivalent of a 40-6 blow-out. Yes, I was the 'victim' of this miscarriage of justice this past week (as was Huffy), but I had actually thought of it before we got the contest rolling; I just didn't post it. "Back in the day" (like, long ago), when I actually bet (truly small amounts of) real money on football, it used to irk me to have a tie ruin what otherwise might have been an excellent parlay card. I don't expect this to get accepted by Rozelle-in-stead, but I'm just running it up the flagpole. Maybe could be used as a tie-breaker at the end of the season?? And yes, I know one could argue that this will even itself out over the season, but I think not; it's just not that common of an occurrence. Kinda like the small, but meaningful gap between 99.3% and 99.7% on 8x4s, for example, just looking for more precision. And yes, I also know that if we'd have added in point spreads, it would have given us that. I came very close to suggesting that, but the logistics of which odds, and at what time, were/are too daunting.
And along that same line...…..I mentioned the parity in the NFL a couple of weeks ago, I believe, in the other NFL thread. (I *think* I did.) So, 538's guys have noticed it, too, and have the stats to back it up.
[double disclaimer: I do not, at all, use 538's site for help with my predictions, nor do even know if they've been any good this year. That said, I hesitate to post this as other unscrupulous contestants may use it to try and get an edge. LOL]

Message:Nine picks immediately above, and eight of them are identical (meaning picked by all three pickers.) Only pop will be one-up on us or one-down (KC over DEN.)
It could be a dogfight at the end, with the two winners having 18 points, then a 17 and a 16. There are a limited number of potential favorites each week, with so many toss-ups.
I think next year, we should force a pick on an underdog, or at least reward underdog picks that work out. (Wins)

Message:Oh. Ok....
The scoundrel, having been caught and passed, reluctantly chooses:
'skins over NYG
(hottie's) Colts over Oak
(Pop's) NE over Bills
It's really harder than I thought it would be to pick teams one *wants* win in this contest. I'm continually having to do things like pick Pats over Bills, or Pitt over Brownies. I'm picking NE, but rooting for Bills. Same thing for Oak/Indy. So there.
