i have decided to change one thing, to make it easier on everyone...

I will use the closing lines from scoresandodds.com for our lines...

that way people dont have to wait til the last day to get their picks in if they like...

all plays must still be in one post, and posted before tipoff of the first game on saturday....

good luck

bucs, is it possible that you could post the closing lines at some point each week?

bucsfan67 · Dec 11, 2004

I'll try and remember, but if i dont, you can see them at
scoresandodds.com
they are right there on the main page, they show the final score, the opening line, and the closing line....

but i will try and remember, not sure how easy it is to copy and paste from there...some places i have no trouble, then other places it comes out all jumbled....

so if we post our entrys at 9am, and a game goes at 9pm we have to take the closing line at 9pm?

i mean you could have -2 when you post, and the game could go at -5.5 it happens every day in college hoops.

bucs i am by no means crying about the rules becuase they are the same for evryone, but dont you think itd make more sense if you just posted the early line from somewhere?! then we all know exactly what line we have. i mean if i put up a game at -2 obviously thats what i want not -5.5.

you know im not trying to bark at you bucs this is hush toned question here, i know the rules are the same for everyone its not like it gives someone an edge unless they are a pro at predicting line moves.

in any event you da man. .thanks for reading.

in a perfect world, yes i would like that better Rob...

However, sometimes the lines arent even available for all games on Friday night...

If i post them on Saturday morning, then there is a very short window for people to have time to get their plays in..

Dealing with the "lesser of 2 evils" i felt this was the better way to go.....

It allows people all week to get their plays in....

And like u said, it is the same for everyone, and who knows it may benefit you sometime if a line moves that way....

I mean be honest, lines dont move that much, that often...I know it happens, you're right, but not all the time......

I am just trying to do the best to make everyone happy, and make it fair for all.....

If i KNEW EVERY PERSON COULD POST THERE PLAYS BETWEEN 9:AM AND NOON ON SATURDAY, I WOULD POST OPENING LINES, but i dont think thats enough time for the contest.....

Good Luck
