📣 NEW GAME FOR THIS FALL-- Pickem: Survivor. Updated through week five

[planomateo]

So what I'm hearing here is that we have a three strike game?

For basketball, football you lose, you're done.

@TUSKtimes, if you look at those already making their pick, you'll notice I'm the only one not ashamed to show mine. (Actually to be truthful, I'm the only one who was not smart enough to hide it.) Try it, it's gonna be fun.

You're looking a little too deep here, BWW. The only one who can see your pick is you.

I'm gonna need to map this out this week...

Hey @TerryP, when I look at "manage my pick" I see my pick and I even updated it. When I first made the pick it came up on the big board with everyone else but it's not there.

Oh my goodness, that was embarrassing. But hey, keeps me humble for the rest of the season. This game promises a very abrupt ending I'm afraid.

We play this game with high school teams up here, its fun.

I've seen it done a few times over the last few years--mostly using Excel or some other type of spreadsheet to track teams. So far, this package seems well worth the money spent to bring it over here.

There's still a few things left under the wraps on what we can do with this one...but, and here's the drawback, with software packages like this there's always a learning curve--for install, build, set-up, how it plays...unfortunately, while the game is up and running well, I'm still in the set-up phase on a bit. On the other hand, fortunately, I'm still finding areas that leave me saying, "oh, it does that as well?"

Consider this. How many teams would have to be put in for the '18-'19 season, in basketball? Then, how many games? Without the SECT and the Big Dance we're still looking at 450 or so games. That's a bit of data entry.

Would it be easier if you could see Week 2 and on down the line? It's just a matter of changing the opening date (and adding 12 more weeks.)

 

[planomateo]

Honestly, haven't looked. Will start by using the helmet schedule and then lock it in.

 

[TerryP]

@planomateo, thought about seeing if I could tie a widget in on the selection page with the helmet schedule...it's a few places down the proverbial list, still.

There are all in now...so you can pick to your hearts content.

That was fun, just filled out the 13 weeks (I have all 14 weeks picked). Good thing we have 14 teams in the league.

I know who you picked in week 14.

#RollTide I'm a gump...I can't help it.

You could play the odds someone won't make it through 14 weeks and use Bama and UGA mid-season.

The only one I'm really not sure about is taking SC over Tennessee in Week 9. Of course, I will probably lose well before that.
