SI PICK'EM WEEK 2 - REGULAR SEASON

[bestkeptsecret13]

You only got 5 bonus points...the top guys got 20.

I can read and I know the rules.

I'm just saying, it's funny how he only got one more game right, but is so far ahead in the standings.

Good thing about this is, you can have a bad week and make it up with a good week. You can go from -20 to +5. It will even out more as the season goes on, I'm sure, this is just one week. I mean, I could reduce the bonus points to make it less than 5, but I really do think this will turn out to be good with the way it is.

I'm not complaining at all man.

I know it's week #1, I'm sure shit will even itself out and the people with the better records will be towards the top in the end.

Only thing I can think of is that 5 bonus points might be too much, maybe 1 or 2 would work better, otherwise I like it the way it is. I'm for whatever improves it, I don't want people dropping out of it because of that, whatever works best I'm up for.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

So, if you guys want me to change the Bonus Points, speak up and tell me what would work best, 1 or 2.

Are you talking about changing the bonus points to only one or two games? Or changing it to 1 or 2 points instead of 5?

Changing it to 1 or 2 points instead of 5.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Changing it to 1 or 2 points instead of 5.

I think one point would be good.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

I think one point would be good.

Alright, I'll change it to 1 pt per bonus and re-do the standings. Everything should be good from this point on. I'm pretty sure everyone would be in favor of this and I know a lot of people didn't like it the way it was, so I'll change it. The standings will be updated sometime today.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Standings have been updated.

Anyone who hasn't gotten their picks in yet, get them in!

I took signups well before the season started, laid out all of the guidelines and not ONE person spoke up to say anything about it, until a week after the season starts. I don't see what the big deal about it is, I understand when you have a better record, you should have more points. However, there's more to this than that, you have to do good in all area's, not just one. You can also gain more and lose more which will make it fun. It's just frustrating that people start complaining now when it's been said to be this way all along. If you make the right picks in the right area's, you won't have to worry about it.

I said it was stupid.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

I said it was stupid.

You didn't say it was stupid, you said it should be whoever has the best win/loss record. If that's what everyone wants, I can do it that way. I just thought adding these few extra things would make it a little more exciting, but if that's what you guys want, then we can do it.

If I'm suggesting something else, it likely means I'm not in favor of the idea.

No shit, one out of 20 some people. Like I said, it's not a big deal, if that's what everyone wants, then we can do it that way.
