The sad part is Crazyl still thinks the contest is going smoothly.

Not knowing where teams stand is a BIG deal. Imagine had the Brewers not pitched CC Sabathia on 3 days rests last season and missed the playoffs by a game because Bud Selig decided standings wasnt necessary.

Imagine losing thjs contest by 1 unit because you skipped a few games thinking ur team was well ahead. Or not knowing u are far behind and needed to play every game to try and catch up. I mean there are numerous strategies teams can use if they knew where they stood. For example if it came down to a two team race and u were up by a few units, u can use a particular strategu to gurarantee ur team a victory.

So its ridiculous for Crazyl to think standings arent important. If I had known he wouldnt post one I would never have wasted my time with this farce.

But it's our fault dagger, not SBR's.

[Willie Bee]

To tell you the truth, while the unlimited picks was a bad decision to start with, I've got no clue why each individual hasn't just kept their own count and included their updated standings each day they add picks.

So let's see, by making this one statement I have 'thrown posters under the bus' and it's the 'fault of the posters?'

Unreal.

[onthewhat]

Yes. Your statement should have been:

"I have no clue why no standings were ever done when the work week is 40 hours long, and as onthewhat described in his video, it only takes 5 minutes per day per team to grade if doing it an efficient way. We are arrogant and used SBR spreadsheet when clearly the way to go was to use Microsoft Excel since that software does not lag nor have downtime. We regret poorly running this contest and will learn from our mistakes."

Good job though having Crazy post 20 times that standings would be posted by the end of the week, then on monday, then on wednesday, by the end of the next week, by next tuesday at the latest, etc.

Kept us all out of the loop. Good job Willie

I heard that Willie Bee stole money from the orphanage too.

I sincerely apologize to all the teams for not doing Crazyl's job for him.

People's desperation over the $100 contest prize reminds me of a story I read last week.

Exactly. I have offered my services many times to grade, for a small price of $500, I have received no invitation for my services.

[RogueJuror]

but tacoma x, its for the causssseee maaann

its for the canadian cancer society mmaann

[tacomax]

Sorry, mannnn.

Sounds like a bargain. SBR pays Crazyl much more yet he cant grade more than 3 teams at a time.

I still remember when he declared my team #1 then 30 min later declared someone else #1. Im sure if he kept going with the grading every team wouldve been #1 that day.

The other team had more units than you afterward. #1's aren't etched in stone, that's kind of a drawback of having daily updates- some people don't make the connection.

[daggerkobe]

Thats exactly why u have to have daily standings!!!!!!

Since its unlimited plays, the last place team could play 50 games one day and go 45-5 and take the lead!!!! Its not like MLB, NBA, or NHL where the most they play is 2 games so they could go couple days and not matter.

If u keep a standing u wouldnt have to keep looking like a clown declaring different teams #1 because ur too lazy to grade all the teams first.
