Speaking of "rules", she had no problem adding 10 spots after entries closed.

So clearly these are in flux

[OVAKUL]

they are giving a 0. Not 1 point

This is not right

[Chili_Powder]

not surprised, a shitty rule to begin with. When was the last time a bowl game was not played, right? So of course no one would make a big deal before it happens. They followed the contest rules, albeit a shitty and unfair rule.

[BigDeem5]

SBR hasn’t really clarified their position.

To be fair, give them a minute to realize that their initial interpretation sucked

No bowl game has ever been cancelled. A "second playoff' game for Hawaii was cancelled after the Pearl Harbor bombing

Fair enough. After the Astro situation I am not holding my breathe. I had a 9.5 lead (10 for the push) when this was cancelled because we all had to go to our safe spaces.

Terrible for the Seniors in that game who will never play another down. What an awful decision.

Lildeemer, SBR doesnt need to clarify anything. They made a rule before the contest started for things like this. I wouldnt like it either, but those are the rules.


One thing that you cannot allow is for people to make an additional pick. They have a lot more information about who is playing and can see different line movements. Also, not as important, but they can check everyone elses picks and take the opposite of a big play for instance

I agree that an additional pick may not work, chubby

Fine, but this game cancelled or post poned before the event. It had started and there was a score on the board.

Grade it as is

[Alright Alright]

I'm done! Stick a fork in me and apply the BBQ sauce! My dumbass borrowed 2500 betpoints to get in this god forsaken contest. Boise State canceled and Georgia Tech gets blown out. Now taking donations to payoff my Bowl Contest loan!

chaoz, you can NEVER grade the play as it stood. That definitely isnt the way to go

[thetrinity]

This cancellation and everyone skipping games is more proof the bowl system is dated

[SBR Forum]

The rule was poorly written. Like with SBR Contests, we'll treat the Boise State game as a push, meaning it will be graded as half your stars/units in this contest.

Thank you for the clarification, SBR Forum. Doing the adjustment now.

[playersonly69]

That is the fairest ruling of them all. It actually doesnt hurt guys going for last place either. Giving zero points for a pick isnt fair for those going for last place


SBR does the right thing here all the way around

[ArunSh]

Glad to hear it. That rule seems like the fairest thing that can be done in such an unfortunate circumstance. Thanks SBR!

[BigDeem5]

Well done, SBR

[playersonly69]

You got lucky eggroll man

[ddittie]

wow, all we have to do is whine and we get what we want, eh?

[TheMoneyShot]

Was thinking about this game and the ruling in our Bowl Tournament all day long....

The push is the fairest outcome in my opinion. (Half points for each side.)

There's no other outcome to be fair for ALL PARTICIPANTS.... other than the half point ruling.

[thechaoz]

chaoz, you can NEVER grade the play as it stood. That definitely isnt the way to go

I've had this done after 5 innings on all books. What's the difference?

[thechaoz]

Go penetrate yourself.

We put up real points (money) in good faith.

Our decision to bet one side or another is being punished because of a random weather event by Mother nature?

Every single penetrating pick counts in this contest so we're being punished for a random weather event at a football location for a game ? That's absolute crap

[thechaoz]

Can’t repick. Lines have moved and more info is out.

Its a push or zero

Don't ever go jts/firedawg/Rudy/sour

[LT Profits]

All plays on BC/Boise will be Pushed, everyone will receive half-credit.

[thetrinity]

seems reasonable, like deem said not like a push is that good in this game. hopefully it wont effect this contest either way.

[Chili_Powder]

This ruling is consistent with rules in other FB contest. Looks like an unlucky turn for BC backers and good fortune for those on Boise. However, it was early so you never know.

[thechaoz]

I have a new proposal for next year.

Have each player pick (to be safe) 3 backup games (in order) that will automatically fill in for any cancellation/natural disaster/police situation/terrorist event etc .

So it will auto fill into the slot. This has only happened once, but judging by our "safe space" culture, it's needed.

I feel really bad for the Seniors, who will never play another down

[unde0087]

Can I get half credit for my loses or receive a new pick. I didn't know those teams were going to lose prior to the game starting

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Darys looks strong AFk.

try picking a winner and it getting canceled because people don't like flashy things in the sky?

[thechaoz]

I've had baseball games cancelled and other sports graded as stood

[playersonly69]

football games must go 55 minutes to be a valid play. those are the rules

[milwaukee mike]

someone pulled the trigger early and graded arkansas state as a loss

you'll be sorry!

[thechaoz]

Mark North Texas a loss please

[SBR Genie]

That's why I'm waiting. haha..I'm aware, yes.
