Do you or have you played the Pickems'?

[coachmayhew 1,414]

I don't really know how many players we have that participate in the almost semi famous, internet known maybe, btownbanners Pickems'. The top 30 or so results post after I update the answers, for the season and the game. There are hundreds, I mean over a 1,000 members here. I assume we would have players who don't post much but honestly have an idea.

If you have any ideas that would improve the often imitated but never successfully duplicated Pickems' let that be known as well.

If you play every game or every so often let me know. Consider this a BtownBanners census.

Thanks

I make the effort every game. You might ask 41, he might be able to look that up.

Sometimes I forget, but for the most part I always do them.

Coach- you do a great job with these. I'm wondering if going into next season we did a week at a time maybe? Had them posted a week in advance. The Iowa game was the second busiest (busiest was when we gave away the Bed Butlers) with over 250+ players. We need to think of some ways to even the playing field for those who missed a game or two. Maybe have the best 20 scores for each person?

We'll brainstorm come football season and get it all figured out. You've definitely don't a much better job getting them posted and graded than I did!

Could try and figure some like that out for sure.

I play when I get a chance or remember to do so.

 

 

It is fun but I am just basically playing against myself since I started late and have missed some games there is no way for me to compete with those who remember to enter picks for each game. (Of course I barely get 50% right anyway so I doubt I would be in the top even if I picked every game)

 

I agree if we could drop lowest however many scores and/or get them posted a bit farther in advance it would help get participation up.

Keep them separate.

I think they're both fine on their own. Personally I love the prediction game guessing the winner and their exact score is a simple game to play yet still fun. The pick'ems is fun too because everything's a 50/50 shot it's essentially another prediction game but with a different format. I think both are fine the way they are and it gives ppl more to do. If you combine them then there's only one game for ppl to play. I'm looking at it as "if it isn't broke don't fix it" and I don't think either game is broken.

Just my personal preference.

I play every game...forgot one time and was bummed that I remembered it right at tip-off. My 8 year old asks me every game if I have answered my questions. He likes to help, but I do better by myself

Played every game for football but missed two for basketball. Really hurt me in the standings.
