You’re exactly right Chico. This is why you don’t stop pick’in, until it’s checked out and made official, cause there’s players out there who can’t keep their shit straight, or try to game the system.

If I was trying to game the system wouldn't I have a team besides lowly Grizzlies left?

In a certain Ultimate Race contest on a different website advantage goes to teh player whose game completes first.

A player who has 2 teams left (cobra_king) is on the sidelines today because neither of his teams is playing until tomorrow. Should the leader (BarkingToad) be penalized for other players failing to put together a proper game plan? Or should he be given the prize immediately after his last team, Memphis Grizzlies, get him the last win he needs to Cover the League? Likewise, if two players pick their 30th winner on the same day, let's say this Wednesday, should the winner be decided by whose last game finished earlier in the day or should this be a tie?

This approach is used by a well-established contests website, and it could be considered quite relevant because its very popular Ultimate Race had a precedent last year when two of the leaders got to 200 wins on the same day but the guy who was smart enough to pick the earliest game on the board, ended up with the first prize money.

Or should all games on a given day be treated equally regardless of starting time? This approach would be similar to SBR Survivor NFL contests where each week is treated individually and it doesn't matter if you lose a game on Thursday night or Sunday afternoon, you simply get an L for that week.

An argument can be made for either side. But with the contest only a few hours, or few days, from completion I would love for this to be clarified before I pick my team today. Because I'm at 27 right now and if Memphis Grizzlies lose today I'll be in contention too

I think that day matters.would make it easier if Memphis wins and make toad the winner. I am down to 3 but I lost 9 days when I was down to 5.

If multiple players finish covering the league on the same day they would split. Would be ridiculous to factor in the time the game ends.

You would think it's ridiculous, wouldn't you? Yet a contest where first prize is $5k and second $3k was decided like this, earlier in 2019.

The reason I'm asking is I want an SBR admin to confirm this officially for everyone.

SBR Drew, spider, please?

[fried cheese]

in the college football contests only the day mattered for ties not time of game.

[fried cheese]

i meant to say the week mattered not the day/time.
