Even if you haven't made a pick yet, you're welcome to start at any time through 11/30/08. If you're not familiar with the way this works -- or want to check on the rules -- please review the Small Print (below). And, if you have any questions, please let me know.

Here's the way Pick-per-Day (PPD) works:

1. You make one pick per day by selecting a team and the point spread that's offered.
For example, if Florida is favored by 22.5 points versus Toledo and you choose Florida, you pick Florida -22.5
If instead you think that spread is too generous, you pick Toledo +22.5

2. The pick must be in required format (see#5 below) and submitted by that day's deadline.

3. Picks on weekdays are usually due at 5:00 while picks on weekends and holidays will usually be due at 12 noon.

4. Please verify your pick was recorded when the posting is Closed and please check the next days tally to make sure I correctly credited you with the win or loss. Mistakes will happen and I'm more than happy to go back a day or two and figure out what went wrong and then make any corrections. But I really don't want to go back a couple of weeks and try to recalculate the wins and losses.

5. All picks must be entered using this format:
Moniker: Team and Spread
(e.g. MNSnowman: Minnesota +1)
Picks that are submitted after the deadline without making prior arrangements or do not use this format will not be counted in that days tally

6. If you want to change your pick, please add a new post rather than editing your original pick and please note it's a change in the header. (It's easier to pick up and make the change this way.

7. Later in the season, I may create two divisions to reflect those who participate regularly versus those who are more sporadic. This is done to reduce the likelihood of someone getting a relatively high winning percentage and resting on their laurels.
 

Summary of 11/23 Picks

MNSnowman: San Diego +4
 

PPD Standings after 11/22 Games

Only two wins today ... the major culprit was our beloved Gophers winning by only one point while favored by two. I'll take the win over the pick if forced to choose! Today's winning percentage was a measly .105 (2-17-0).

Here's the cumulative statistics:

A couple lines have been 'corrected'

NOTE: The Kent State (should be -15) and Indiana State (should be -4.5) games have been corrected...

The only reason I know is I was all ready to take N. Texas & the 25 pts, but when I looked it up, noticed the correction.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I was out and away from the computer from 9AM to 9PM. (Our son and daughter-in-law moved into their new home this weekend and we were helping with the move)

I'll take a look at it and see whether we should disallow picks that were affected. We've had this problem with ScoresAndOdds.com last year (they blamed it on a "subcontractor"), especially on weekend games.

Update: Nobody on the board obtained an unfair advantage due to the two corrections, so I'm keeping the picks as submitted. (Kent State won 83-64 -- so the original line of -4.5 and corrected to -15 became a moot issue. Similarly, Indiana State lost to North Texas, 69-80. Nobody selected either team, but if somebody had picked Kent State and they'd won by less than 15, I would have likely scratched the game and declared any picks as pushes.
