CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2006 For the record, Kahran PM'd me his picks on Dec 13 2006, 06:13 PM, so put to rest any "copying" that went on with this matchup (I'm not accusing you of thinking that, mind you, because I know you're not; I just wanted to clear this up). This is the second or third time this has happened this season, and I don't know what to do in order to make these contests more competitive. When this contest was a straight-up pick 'em, these 1-2 matchup differences were much greater, hence the switch over to point spreads. You mentioned in a previous thread about adding over/unders, etc., which is a good idea and one I've thought of as well, but 1) it would take away from the spirit of actually picking games, in my opinion, and 2) I don't want everyone to have to pick a variety of other predictions every week that have nothing to do with which teams will win/cover the spread. Like I've said before, any ideas will be considered; that's why whenever I have an idea for this contest I like to put it up to a vote because I'd rather have thirty-three perspectives on the league than just one. I don't think it's that big a deal. Two or three times a season is nothing compared to the 30-40 times it probably happened without point spreads (at least) . Sometimes people are just going to agree on everything -- there's no much you can do about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2006 You're right, and I like to think rather that rather than focusing on the one game two people differed on, more attention should be paid to, in these instances, the 8-12 that they agreed upon that turn out to be incorrectly picked. But there's nothing wrong with looking for ways to improve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2006 The listings within each won/loss bracket don't mean anything.
