SG: Maybe a good idea is to save the page to your comp after games go off so if anyone tries an edit, it would be easy to detect

i did that last year a few times, and it is a good idea, i know, because if someone puts in their plays at 705 pm, they have till 713 to change their plays and not have it appear as edited, so the score can be 3-0, and they can change it. But i was really talking about someone putting in play at 11 am, then at 655 pm, their games all moved 30 cents against them, so they edit them and put the other sides. I don't mind this, but isn't that a bit cheating? I really don't care, because all they really have to do is wait till 655 pm and just bet the moves, so no big deal here for me.

man egd, you're very observant. How in the world do you know that i've been hot the last 2 days. you must be really into this contest and really following it..

Thanks, but I don't know if i can keep it up, but I swear, this is one of the rare times that I wished that the rules were like last year where we can bet 6 games a day, because even my extra games that I couldn't put in now, were winners, and that hurts.. but I'll take it, thanks..

Hope i can keep up the steak. Good luck to you too..

I agree with the no tolerance rule. It should not be the grader's job to interpret what someone typed as their picks. How hard is it to hit the reply button,scroll up to the posted lines and then move the reply window around?

I have to agree with the no tolerance rule with regards to grader. IMHO this contest is time consuming and this rule will save time to grader and of course there will be less "bad blood " among contestant.

I am hot.. 9-1 in my last 10. You know you're hot when you are down 3-0 end of 1 period in the late game in LA.. I go out thinking I lost.. i then pull into my car at 430 am, and on my way home, i am listening to scores, and hear Boston wins 4-3..

I wasn't even paying attention to the scores because in my mind, i had lost it.. I was so shocked to hear that score, as I wasn't even listening at the time. But thank god I live in Montreal, because i didn't have to hear the rundown of 58 college football games first, as they start with hockey right away..

If you make the mistake and don't write in the proper line, you should pay the price.

Sick, that LA-Boston game was great for me too as I had the Bruins. I saw it was 3-0 LA and wrote it off but boy what a nice surprise! About the only good thing with the CBC, besides not going thru every Div I to VII football score is that they replay the 7 pm broadcast after midnight sans commercials. That is nice.

Well I thank you for allowing a vote to happen. Not everyone chimed in but I think the no tolerance would have won anyway.
