NCAAF Cover the League Contest (confusion)

**RudyRuetigger** · 08-23-19, 09:06 AM

or the week could start tomorrow on the 24th and end the 30th, whichever

i missed it if this was stated somewhere

**RudyRuetigger** · 08-23-19, 11:06 AM

am i the only one wondering this?

was it stated somewhere?

**dlowilly** · 08-23-19, 11:49 AM

Also need to know in the contests with the first poster with all teams winning is there no winner if no one picks a win for all teams?

No, the contests that say first with all teams winning have 10 teams (Big 12) and 12 teams (Pac 12) so enough weeks for both

**dlowilly** · 08-23-19, 12:25 PM

Yeah we really need clarification on what dates the weeks are

I was looking at SEC contest and week one is this Saturday thru Thursday 8/24-8/29? I thought Thursdays count for the week of the upcoming weekend, at least in NFL they do

**BigdaddyQH** · 08-23-19, 12:44 PM

You guys are making a big thing out of nothing. You can post your picks ANY TIME during the week that is in question. So if you want to take a team that plays on a day other than Saturday, simply pick that team on the Monday before the game. There are a total of 14 weeks in this contest. The ACC, Big 10, and SEC has a total of 14 teams. That means one team per week. This is not rocket science. The Pac 12 with 12 teams, gives you two extra weeks, and the Big 12, with 10 teams, gives you 4 extra weeks.

wrong

acc's first week is aug 24 - sept 2

sec's first week is aug 24- 29th

miami and florida play each other

that means you can pick only Florida for the SEC

if you pick Miami aug 24th, you cant pick a team aug 31st when everyone else in the acc plays, even though it is 1 week after

in the sec contest, you will be able to select a team that week though

this is going to create a lot of confusion and too many picks if people post acc plays aug 31st after already having miami tomorrow

No you can also pick Texas A & M but agree it is confusing

i just looked....the site i downloaded all schedules have it all messed up

but the point still remains that the sec is going to have 1 extra week and the acc wont be allowed to have picks aug 31 which will create a problem for sure

**RudyRuetigger** · 08-23-19, 02:57 PM

just look how many people put tennessee or arkansas for week 1 in the sec (aug 24-aug29)

that is week 2 actually

**str** · 08-23-19, 03:05 PM

Because week 1 is extended it might make more sense if Drew would clarify by saying that there can only be 1 pick in each contest between Aug. 24th thru Sept. 2nd.

That is the official length of week 1.

And yes, there should be some clarity if a team never wins in a contest. Will they pay the best record or records if it is impossible to win with every team?

That is probably the intent. But it needs to be addressed.

Case in point, if the Atlanta Dream loses it's final 8 games they will have lost every game during the entire contest.

If there are no winners in that marathon, what a mess that will probably be.

**Chi_archie** · 08-23-19, 03:06 PM

what about calling everything before Sept 6 as being week 1

do any conferences have a team playing two games before the Fri Sept 5 and Sat Sept 6 games?

**RudyRuetigger** · 08-23-19, 03:15 PM

what about guys that already picked florida or texas a&m following the rules

I cannot imagine anyone here trying to game the system by making more actual plays than they were entitled to, can you?

Anyone that changes their plays will be as much as admitting to that wouldn't they? Lol.

Honestly, your question is very well founded with all the people that play here, but didn't we really all know that week 1 is not a calendar week in ncaa football.

That said, without your question , nothing good could have happened next week when whichever people tried to make another play.

It's a shame that SBR has to sit around and come up with a defense for all the BS ways a jackass can try and scam the system while being generous enough to offer these free contests.

Cheaters suck. They deserve what they get IMO.

No I didn't know week one is not a calendar week.
I read the rules carefully and tried to follow them. That does not mean I in any way tried to game the system. I noticed that many other posters did not follow the rules and were picking after the week 1 dates as stipulated by Drew for their week 1 pick. Really don't see anyone gaming anything here, just confusion.

**BigdaddyQH** · 08-23-19, 03:52 PM

I have no idea where you get your information, but it is WRONG!!! The rules clearly state this: "Contest starts Week 1 from August 24th-Sep 2nd. (ONLY PICK ONE GAME DURING WEEK 1)Picks must be made prior to the start of selected game." How f**king more clearer do you need.

If you take either Miami, Florida, or Arizona, those teams are your picks for Week 0-1 starting on the 24th and ending on the 2nd of September. Try doing things sober for a change. How much money did you lose on your most recent Birthday?

If you don't see the error, don't comment

I've said it twice

THANKS

Where is the error? The games of August 24 have OFFICIALLY been designated as "Week 0" games. Do you have a problem with that? All Drew did was to combine Week 0 an d Week 1 into one week. Do you have a problem with that? If so, seek help immediately. As far as those who have already picked are concerned, the rules say this: "Must post on this thread to enter. One guess per person. No editing." That means that if were not smart enough to ask a question BEFORE you posted your pick, you are S.O.L. Stop your bitching and moaning.

how are you blaming me

i dont even have picks yet and made this thread to clear it up

the simple thing to do is change the dates, which is what i suggested in making this thread

i thought the confusion would be acc aug 31 and trying to save that problem

after looking at picks, its the sec week 1-2 thatll be the problem

thats why it just needs cleared up

**daneblazer** · 08-23-19, 04:16 PM

Just do it by weeks, not dates. There are 14 weeks in the season if you combine week 0-1. Doesn’t have to be difficult

Read it again.

Sorry if you took it that way.

Certainly understand the confusion.

Hopefully, nobody was gaming it.

But we all watched what happened to BTP.

That's just the way it is sometimes.

**RudyRuetigger** · 08-24-19, 11:03 AM

why cant someone just clear this up and change the SEC dates????

**thetrinity** · 08-24-19, 02:11 PM

these Games should be excluded imo

**RudyRuetigger** · 08-24-19, 02:16 PM

i checked

most people just have it right

but sbr needs to just correct the dates

im trying to prevent it, but when thanksgiving comes, and you have teams playing thursday when archie says before sept 6th makes a week....thats another clusterfukk in the making

i was actually trying to correct it BEFORE the clusterfukk

**dlowilly** · 08-24-19, 02:27 PM

It says week 1 is 8/24-8/29 in the original post

It's a huge assumption to think one week includes two saturdays, or that everyone can just know that the dates in the first post are errors

**RudyRuetigger** · 08-24-19, 05:16 PM

why was this not addressed?

every mod has been here

now more angle shooters

**fried cheese** · 08-24-19, 05:45 PM

why do u want to have less weeks? there is much less of a chance for anyone to actually win the contest with only 14 weeks and 14 teams.

i guess so if you argument is ppl will think the next thursday is included in every week. what about the contests that have 2 saturdays? will everyone think a week includes 2 saturdays too?
