Nationwide Driver Pick'em Game

**yisman** · 08-12-12, 12:45 PM

This ESPN game is seriously messed up. This is the second time I made picks and it claims I didn't.

I checked all the matchups and made sure I had picked everything before pressing submit, and it marked most of them blank!

I had this before when I picked Danica at 8 points and then it listed as a blank pick.

I had a great week too, with the underdogs winning. Only two I got wrong were Danica and Brad K.

looks like they scored you from here?

**yisman** · 08-12-12, 12:59 PM

no, they only scored some. All the ones with grey are them claiming I didn't pick.

I picked Kahne, Paludo, Brad, Danica, Kyle, Carl, and Brian Scott.

They have some serious glitches with the game because I'm positive I picked them and pressed submit. I never picked a few and clicked submit. I did it all in one shot. Selected every matchup and submitted it. And then they claim I only picked 3??????

**yisman** · 08-12-12, 01:03 PM

at least it doesn't matter on this one, other than some other games where I got screwed out a prize due to glitches.

With this game, only the top scorer of everyone gets anything, so the 44 points they didn't credit me with (this week plus 8 from Danica another week) won't matter because the top guy is probably way ahead of me.

OIC.. mine has a couple of gray lines too

**yisman** · 08-12-12, 01:43 PM

yeah with the games I play (london pickem, streak for the cash, nationwide), it's green if you got it correct and red if it's incorrect. Grey means 'push' on the games, but for this they also use it when they claim you didn't make a pick. I'm just annoyed because I know there's no possible way this is true. If the system wouldn't take my picks, they should all be grey. I never made partial selections and left the others blank for this game.

I sometimes pick in advance but this time I didn't pick until race day and filled out the whole thing.

ok, if you want

25 on the nationwide game

conditional on them not deleting my picks like they've been known to do

**yisman** · 08-18-12, 01:59 PM

I'm assuming we have action, rickie

**rickie65** · 08-18-12, 05:49 PM

honestly, I haven't checked scores yet, but yeah @ 25 i was in for anybody/everybody that wanted to do it

**yisman** · 08-18-12, 06:30 PM

looks like I win thanks to Bowles crashing

**rickie65** · 08-19-12, 10:37 AM

felt good, ended bad. 25 to you yisman.

yeah, that bowles crash might have made the difference, but he may have issues later anyway like so many others.

**yisman** · 10-10-12, 03:22 PM

the game is messed up. It won't allow me to make any picks.

**Optional** · 10-10-12, 09:54 PM

it worked for me

**yisman** · 10-10-12, 09:58 PM

I'll check again. This was 6 hours ago.

**yisman** · 10-10-12, 10:01 PM

I checked again. Same as before. There are no checkboxes. The matchups are listed, but there are no boxes for me to click.

I am logged in and I can click the boxes on streak for the cash.

Weird.

I'd restart my browser or reboot. Sounds like some add-on has crashed. Or maybe try without an adblocker if you have one of those.

**yisman** · 10-12-12, 12:32 PM

they opened it today for me

I got a full screen popup telling me to pick matchups for a chance to win. I click play now and it has the boxes

Yeah there is some sort of prizes. I am not illegible as a foreigner though.

Guess we just play for fun. I usually beat everyone anyway

Hmmm.. only beating you 8-5 in ones we both entered. Surprised you are that close!

Want to do 100 per race for the rest of the year?

nope. It's 7-6 you. I beat you in week 21 but they scored it for you because they deleted most of my picks. I posted my picks here. I had 48 that week.

Now that I'm reviewing it, one of my picks in week 15 they also didn't count, but I beat you that week anyway.

do 50

**yisman** · 10-13-12, 08:08 AM

I just manually scored it. We're even, 7-7, in the weeks you played.

**Optional** · 10-13-12, 08:38 AM

ok 50 is good.

**yisman** · 10-13-12, 08:39 AM

50 every week. Best remember to do your picks!

**Optional** · 10-13-12, 08:41 AM

No count if we forget I think?

But sure you'll remind me now. Or someone else will want to jump in now the points are flying for this

**yisman** · 10-13-12, 09:23 AM

ok no points if you forget

also no points if they mysteriously delete my picks but hopefully that won't happen again (hasn't happened the last month+).

I've wanted to do HTH all season but no one was interested. I did bet one week with rickie I think.

I'm better at this than you think.

**Optional** · 10-13-12, 09:26 AM

We'll see ;-)

You haven't seen me trying hard yet.

**yisman** · 10-20-12, 05:57 PM

**Optional** · 10-20-12, 05:59 PM

Bah humbug. 50 to you.

**Optional** · 11-02-12, 12:40 AM

Tricky set of matchups this week

**yisman** · 11-10-12, 07:51 PM

I even did well on the tiebreakers this week! One off on each driver.

**Optional** · 11-11-12, 04:36 AM

Stupid game. All rigged ya know!
