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

[cyclones500]

trying to make a confidence pick change and it won't let me and gives me this message "An Entry Pick's Confidence Score must be unique to a scoring period."

I experimented just to see if it gives me message -- it seemed to work OK. As @BigJCy suggests, maybe the cancellations are messing with the system somehow. Maybe it's temporary glitch, hard to say.

Unrelated: I wonder if system will update and allow a pick for Sun Bowl with Washington State & Central Michigan, or just leave everything the way it is. I'm not all that worried about it, since I'm sure I'd make the wrong pick anyway /// but curious.

Does anyone know how the confidence points for the cancelled games are effected? I’m so far out of it, it doesn’t really matter, just curious.

From what I can tell, it shoves confidence points lower (overall) - so for example, a correct pick that was a 43 prior to any cancellations is now 38-ish (thereabouts) -- canceled games become "nothing."

With 2 games left it is down to a 2-man race:

@Jonyrose vs. @1UNI2ISU

@1UNI2ISU has the most max points possible (579 vs. 557)

Bwa-ha-ha-ha!!!

59th out of 60. One game shy of being Ms. Irrelevant!!!

I wish the game would of let me change my confidence levels. Had several high ones I wanted to change

Currently sitting in 54th place. What a phenomenal failure!

Underachiever....

 

[Cycsk]

Underachiever....

Dropped to 56th. Looks like I could drop to 58th. Oh well, it could be worse. At least I have enough points to remain ahead of 59th!

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Based on possible points remaining, I don't think I can sink any lower.

Congrats to @Jonyrose on the win!

Thanks to everyone for participating.

Thanks for organizing it, @BigJCy

I do much better at the pickem & elimination games, but by gosh, I'm gonna keep trying on this one!

Agree. I'm gonna keep trying too. My only consolation this year was being ahead of you! Seriously, I would love to hear how some of the leaders went about making their picks. How about you @CycloneRulzzz? You were pretty high up the leaderboard. What's your secret?

Just lucky I guess. Had I been able to edit my confidence levels I could of done better. Once games started getting canceled something in the game screwed up because my confidence levels for future games was locked in and I couldn't change them.

I didn't finish last, so I'll take that as a victory.

I'm demanding a recount. I think there were 7 more points in there for me somewhere.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Anyone setting up a CF group again this year? @BigJCy

 

[BigJCy]

I can do it but is there enough people interested in participating? Feels like when ISU isn't in a bowl the interest is quite a bit lower.
