My turn to be a baby

[MonkeyF0cker]

Think about it from his opponents point of view. What we've been doing throughout the tournament is giving no action on all postponed games. Wouldn't it be wrong to give him a push here or award an extra play just because it would benefit him? It's not only about making one person happy, because I would really like to please everyone, but just going by the established precedent we had so far.

If you start bending the rules, there's no limit to where it stops. There was ample time after he made his seventh pick for him to select another one or message myself or Diogee and ask about how we grade postponed games, it's been no secret they are always no action.

Yeah we all know that it's graded no action. However, exceptions should be made for the last day of the round in cases like this. He should not be penalized for something that is out of anyone's control. It's simply not fair to expect that he choose from a handful of games at the close of the contest when he had already fulfilled the requirements. I could see the ruling if it were something that HE did, but it's simply not the case. He should be awarded an additional play. There's no reason he shouldn't.

That's cold, Loubert. Even for you.

[Bread]

All good Lou. I'm not a huge boat rocker. BS all the same. But that's what happens when the mod doesn't like you and he's running the contest.

Having taken some time to look back on many of your posts before I arrived here and before you had a sudden change of (hiring) heart, it is very apparent that we never would've gotten along to begin with.

But it's kinda fun watching you try really hard to be nice everyone here knowing your true nature.

Take care.

[MonkeyF0cker]

All I can say is it might not be the best strategy to wait until the last possible day to enter 6/7 of your picks, just in case any gray area to you might arise. I'm sorry that the grading procedure wasn't clearer, I've clarified a clause that touches on this specific scenario of "last day picks" so in the future this problem doesn't reoccur. It's just not fair to your opponent to apply that retroactively here.

No offense, Crazy, but I think it's you who is applying a rule retroactively here by "clarifying" a rule. Just give him another pick. Why is that so hard to do?

[Kingctb27]

Well you shouldn't have waited to post 6 picks on the last day. Tough. You got lucky to pick 4 out of 5 that day anyways.

[pavyracer]

Bread you could have picked (a just in case game last night) after you found out your last game was rained out. Where there any available games after your game was rained out?

Even though you are 50% justified to ask for a new game I think it puts you to an advantage with your opponent if you are allowed to pick from a bigger pool of games today.

What we've been doing throughout the tournament is giving no action on all postponed games.

If the play's graded as "no action", how could he not be allowed a final play?

Wouldn't it be wrong to give him a push here or award an extra play just because it would benefit him?

Giving him a push, yes. Giving him an extra play, no (and it's not an extra play because he has only made 6 official plays).

[Bread]

King....no disrespecting you. Don't start with me.

Learn the difference.

I had a reason for waiting like that. I've accepted your victory. Congrats stud.

[SBR Lou]

Yeah we all know that it's graded no action. However, exceptions should be made for the last day of the round in cases like this.

That's what I'm getting at. Diogee and I have been grading no action on every single rain delayed game. Now if we were to suddenly give out a push or extend the betting past the deadline, can you imagine how upset his opponent would be? We'd be seeing another thread identical to this one, only difference is this way is being consistent to how we've graded all tournament long.

He had over three hours to select a new seventh play, he didn't message anyone, ask anyone, so unfortunately the deadline came and went. Bending the rules after the fact will make one happy, but severely piss off the other. So all we can do here is add a clause to the rules to avoid this in the future, and accept that one of the two parties will have felt shaken either way.

[onthewhat]

lol

for now on i guess we should only make plays on games in domes...otherwise we get DQ for getting rained out

[Bread]

Pavy...not only COULD I...but I Would've...I knew about the rain out at 7 pm and posted a comment about it.

Trust me....Good ole Lou saw that post and knew what was up.

[bmw530i]

ahahahah Bread ur avatar is epic....my man...are those Levi docker khaki's?

Never said I was a stud, but you never thought about that happening? I mean it happens all the time. Not busting your balls, but just saying you should have planned accordingly.

[Bread]

I don't know but they were way too thin to be laying in the snow.

[MonkeyF0cker]

Why are you assuming the pick will win, Crazy?

[Bread]

Congrats. Great win.

I feel like breakfast tacos.

get off crazyl's jock

[Robyn]

There are a lot of pictures of Bread floating around.

I still hope Lou slips on a rotten banana peel.

[MonkeyF0cker]

So if you strategically select the last game on the board because you think it has the best value on the board and it gets postponed, you get double-screwed? That's simply not a fair contingency in the contest...

[Panic]

As long as it aint a tortilla, we're all good

[AgainstAllOdds]

This is basically what crazyl just said...

"We will only make exceptions for people we see fit. SBR doesnt care about its posters and will shit on them in any contest. Thank you all and go **** yourselves"

There is no strategy in this contest. Only friends....

[onthewhat]

between this capping tourney getting rules changed every other round, and mlb moneyline madness crashing every other day, and everyone complaining about rule changes in beat the prick...sbr has pissed off a lot of people

[pavyracer]

This is not safe either. During last year's NCAA tourney a game at the Georgia Dome was postponed due to tornado damage on the Dome.

Correction, AAO. What he meant is, "I will only consider re-visiting the rules if I like the person, but I don't like Bread, so he can eff off."

The end.



p.s. Yes, Loubert. The SBR females are WAYYYYYY overrated.

[jjgold]

Bread do you want the $50 prize?? I will send it to you.

[Bread]

And for the record, I have ran pools, contests, fantasy football leagues when you had to wait for the Monday paper....for years. Since 1990.


I know the most wacky thing that can ever happen, usually will. I get it.

And I can honestly say, this is the most ridiculous sht I've ever seen as far as making a problem right.

And with that, I'm over it. I don't like Lou. He doesn't like me. Now we don't have to pretend any longer.

Thanks to 95% of the ppl in this thread for your support, including a few surprises (Monkey, Durito).

And that's that. Congrats King. Good luck.

[Panic]

get off crazyl's jock

Damn, C&D who are you talking about?

yeah...im a diehard Kentucky basketball fan...almost went to that

A clause was added this morning so that in the future, if the last possible game on the board is selected and it's postponed, this situation won't come up. I don't think it's fair to have applied that retroactively, had I have done that, this thread would be made by King and the same comments would apply. "Oh, be consistent with the rules etc, you've graded as no action all tourney long, he had three hours to get a new play in"

etc etc.

[rjt721]

Now if we were to suddenly give out a push or extend the betting past the deadline, can you imagine how upset his opponent would be?

You allowed Checkerboard to make a final play that extended past the initial deadline in the previous round, so there's precedent (I agreed with giving CB a final play, and Bread's case is even stronger).

[Panic]

Bread do you want the $50 prize?? I will send it to you.

Post of the year.

you and Lou about to...throw down...?
