Deadline for picks is prior to tip-off but not later than 5PM
Please check & make sure your pick is included in the summary after the deadline.
Finding a format-friendly web-site has proven pretty difficult. Best one so far is Gopher in Qatar's suggested site but I'm not sure that they'll update it in time for me to be able to use. I'll monitor it for a while and see what comes.Please check & make sure your pick is included in the summary after the deadline.
All the other links end up taking 3-5 lines on a worksheet or a Word file (that's what I use due to the integration of macros to reformat, etc) That was the beauty of the original site because it had each game, teams and spread on one line that translated easily into an Excel spreadsheet. It takes a lot more time to write and then run the macros using the multi-line formats that all the other sites (including the USAToday site below) seem to use.
For now, I'm going to ask you use the "do-it-yourself" version. Click on this site -- USAToday -- and you'll see (eventually) the day's games and spreads. Please use the Opening spread shown on the site for the game you want. Make sure you select the correct date's choices.
We'll use the same format as before: Moniker: Team Points Please remember to include the colon after your moniker.
Here are The Rules if you have any questions. Sorry, we're not taking any new participants. And for current participants, please note that you must make a pick at least once every three weeks to remain in the competition.
Please use the colon after your moniker ... I use a macro to enter your picks on a spreadsheet and the macro relies on the colon to get it properly entered.
