***2022-23 Bowl Game Pick'em Contest***

If it is, I can't figure it out. I KNOW I took the time to move all of my picks into my preferred order. Now I can't figure out how to even get back to that page. All I get is the group leaderboard, which has a glitch that doesn't allow me to look past the first few games (if I try, it rolls to the last page, then back, and won't let me stop it to try to look at games in between. And I get a page that shows the games that have already played, with my picks. That's where I learned that my confidence choices had been scrambled. And there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the scramble. I made my picks in date order, then rearranged them to the confidence ranking. If the confidence levels did not change when I rearranged them, the ESPN points column should read 1,2,3..., not 40,13,12...
I didn't have this problem in the past, but I think they have made some changes to the platform...and I'm just not getting it.

Bizarre glitch and frustrating! I can't think of a workaround solution based on that ... I wonder if anyone else in our contest is experiencing something similar?

Okay, I knew you had some issue with the confidence points. I remember the issue now.

In Post 196, I tried to identify what I think happened to you.

Yeah, that's the actual way I did it (entered in game order, then moved my picks to the confidence levels I wanted for them). And I double checked the numbers before saving the changes. I kept my own Excel file record of my choices and confidence levels.

When I looked at the leaderboard the confidence levels didn't match what I had (nor were they in date order). I tried to go back into the page where I could change confidence levels but can't seem to get there.

So basically, I see my confidence points at the same time that everyone else sees my confidence points!

Almost lost my 34 w/ Houston, but survived.

Houston busted my losing streak. Lets go Wake.

Mid Tenn St beats San Diego St. That's a decent sized point loser for most of us.

I had it for 38 pts. ESPN changed it to 6 pts. This mess is really kind of working out for me so far.

I may have to adopt your strategy next year!

Not great when you pick Bowling Green and their starting QB is knocked out of the game early in the 1st Qtr on a cheap-shot hit.

Ouch. I have BG also. But once again, ESPN is coming through for me. I had 40 confidence pts (not sure why; that might have been an ooops!), but ESPN says 4 points.

You are catching some good breaks here.

Agreed. If I could figure out how it happened, I just might try to repeat it next year!

Bowling Green has come back to cut it to a 5 point game with 6:30 left.

It fell perfectly into my plan to slowly make my way to last place. A win by Iowa would lock it up for me, if all goes according to design.

Alright now is when the contest really heats up. At least 3 games a day for 6 out of the next 7 days.
