Were any updates ever released on the Team Contest?

[SlickFazzer]

Curious if Nicky and Co. are still in command.

1. Of Course Not
2. Probably

[Nicky Santoro]

never seen anything like this.. half the month is over and still nothing.. had i known this, i would have never wasted my time doing this.. how can nothing have been done in 13 days.. wow.. unreal.. this is not right.. i wasted 2 weeks of this.. we need to know standings so we know whether to play 4 games a day, or 12 games a day.. i want to see betting patterns of each team.. without this, this contest becomes useless to me. they should just cancel contest. this is a joke.

i started off so good at 70% after 106 games.. now i have dropped pretty badly since.. i am probably at 57% now.. or close to it.. i think we are no longer in 1st place, but we'll never know as long as the standings are not up..

i will turn it around again soon..i feel a little run coming up.. but where the fukk are the standings.? this is a real joke..

[onthewhat]

SBR does not now how to effectively run contests on the boards...all of the 128 man tourneys are jokes with rules being changed in the middle, and now this.

SBR do not run contests until you hire someone who knows what they are doing.

[SlickFazzer]

They need to get a better grasp on this, and understand what is required before hand to keep the contests running smoothly.

[bigboydan]

The next time your team complains about the contest updates sir, I'm going to recommend that your team be disqualified.

[onthewhat]

I'm pretty sure every team is in agreement that this contest has been poorly run. Disqualify everyone you bald fukk

The updates might not be to your satisfaction sir, however your team is the only one complaining about it though.

What updates?

[SlickFazzer]

I shouldn't have started this thread. It just gets everyone all fired up. My bad.

Do you feel it's worthy of a cool down infraction Slick?

[SlickFazzer]

Do you feel it's worthy of a cool down infraction Slick?

No, sir. You have my word. I will never bring up the team contest again. This was my first and last thread on the subject.

[bigboydan]

No, sir. You have my word. I will never bring up the team contest again. This was my first and last thread on the subject.

Fair enough Slick.

I do have one more question for you though.

Do you think I should give a cool down infraction to Onthewhat and Mr.Nicky for bashing the SBR staff like they have over this grading issue as well as disqualifying the entire team?

[Nicky Santoro]

Fair enough Slick.

YES.. ban me...

[bigboydan]

YES.. ban me...

I asked Slick that question not you Mr.Nicky.

[SBR Lou]

Sorry guys. I dropped the ball in planning for this one, the participation far exceeded what I was expecting with a record number of teams signing up. This one is on me, I wish there was enough hours in a day to have standings out routinely, but unfortunately that's not realistic at this point.

I can get a top 5 standings released or something like that over the next day or so, but a full 24 breakdown is going to take a little longer. Thanks for your feedback and going forward this setup will be finetuned.

[SlickFazzer]

No, I do not think disqualification would help anything, as this would more than likely create more friction and issues in the future.

As far as infractions go, in this case I'm not sure this would really accomplish anything either. Although, I have not followed the specifics of what was said.

To the defense of posters, I think the thing that the Contest members want it just more clear communication on the topic.

If it is mentioned that updates will happen within a specific time frame, it is only fair that it happens that way, and if there are problems in getting the results updated, those issues are communicated to Posters on a daily basis.

Good communication can resolve most, if not all issues in any relationship. Be it work, or in this case, Contest related.

In Gambling,

I could grade this contest in a day no problem.

Whats it worth to you guys.

Ok, I won't issue any cool down infractions to that team at all Slick. However, they do need to show a little respect to CrazyL, especially after his post above.

[RogueJuror]

Danny, I just want to say that, overall, you have been doing an excellent job on the board lately. Danny, it is of my opinion that you deserve a nice Christmas bonus this year.

Happy X-Mas

Correct, I just wish I had bet Arizona in CBB tonight.

[bigboydan]

Thanks for your kind words RJ.

[Nicky Santoro]

i once helped grade a contest at MW back in the days.. there were about 800 picks to grade. it took me 3 hrs to do it.. i figured in this contest right now with 25 teams, that there are probably about 4,000 picks, maximum.. probably less too..

so this would take me 15 hrs max, probably 10 hrs.. it's dec 14th in a few hrs.. and still no standing.. wow.

[tacomax]

i wasted 2 weeks of this..

How wasted? You're still in the running for your share of the $100 prize! What hourly rate does that work out at?

[Iwinyourmoney]

Its a FREE contest. If you guys paid to enter this stuff, I could see a fit. But its free and free money is up, FREE

[bigboydan]

You know how that contest whore Mr.Nicky is Taco.

[pavyracer]

Out of 25 teams only one is complaining. Team La Costa Nostra which is Italian for The Whining Sissies

[daggerkobe]

WTF does LazyL do all day? It shouldn't take more than 2 hours to grade these.

Nicky, are you offering to do the grading?

[bigboydan]

CrazyL does have other duties at SBR besides just grading this particular contest sir.

[pavyracer]

It shouldn't take more than 20 min per day to enter the plays and grade them using a spreadsheet.

Why don't his co-workers help him?

[Chi_archie]

I've gotta admit I've lost interest......

but CL, admitted that there may have been a mistake in judgement, It happens...

[Tsoprano]
