The game was set up very well. Good job! Think it took about 3 minutes to complete. Everyone should give it a shot.

Also (crossing fingers) if you only fill in some of the picks it should fill in BPA for all remaining picks when the game locks. And you can go through and either do all BPA for the whole thing, or fill in a few and then hit BPA to fill in the rest or go line by line clicking BPA for each slot.
One thing I am not sure if I covered in the rules is that if a trade is made at the slot, then the trade is what gets scored. Not the pick. I might change that for next year but for this year that's how it is. Because you are declaring what that team with the pick does not the team that traded into that pick.
Hope that makes sense. I was trying to figure out how to make it more elegant with trades and the getting the trade team right and who they picked and that was above my ability to think it through at that point. I wanted to make it as simple as possible.
For next year I may limit it to the top 10 and add in a confidence wager for each where if you are right it accumulates to your point total and if you are wrong it deducts from your total. We will see.

I filled one out on Monday and then it seemed to be gone yesterday. I did re-fill one out, but not sure if there was a reset or something on it.
Yeah I posted about that. Unfortunately a script got run that wiped it out and I couldn't recover it. Sucks but it is what it is.

I'll probably submit an entry, but I'm not very good at predicting what other teams are going to do. Mike, for next year you should consider doing a Viking picks only game with the same sort of scoring breakdown.

Okay, I'm in. Frankly, after pick #1, I have no idea how it's going to play out
But it's a fun diversion and Mike, you set it up to be really easy and fun.
Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.

No worries man, much appreciated. I got a new one in.
Thanks!
Like others, I don't keep up with college football players & have no idea which team will want which player, so I wasn't going to do it. However, just for the fun of it, I went BPA all the way. Who knows, I may win! ~ NOT!!! Do I at least get a Participation Ribbon? LOL
LIVE WELL ~ LOVE MUCH ~ LAUGH OFTEN
