maybe they'll still let you put in your picks....or at least get a refund as week 1 didnt start yet
I dont think it works that way, everyone knows the rules. Anyone not posting plays & already paid has 0 points for week 1 im assuming, rules are rules just like the Hilton contest.
Rules are rules, but the deadline was already extended once giving a benefit to some of those who did get in after the original deadline had passed. Doesn't seem right to not extend the same benefit to the others who did not happen to know of the the extension and might have gotten their plays in by 5 pm if they were aware of the change. I would say in this one instance, since the deadline was already extended to allow for paid posters to get their picks in this one week, all contestants should be allowed to go ahead and put in their picks. If you are going to change the rules to which there "will be no exception," it seems that in week one a friendly consideration could be made. JMO
