My turn to be a baby

[SBR Lou]

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).

That situation involved error with the tourney. This is being consistent to how we've graded all tournament long, giving no action on postponed games. If this were literally the last game on the board, then his case is strong. There were three some odd hours to get another play in before the deadline, PM someone, ask in chat etc, no effort was made.

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

bread seems kind of angry today after jj exposing the whole phone call thingy

[pavyracer]

CrazyL,

Consider this tourney the practice one till you come up with all the rules that will cover every possible scenario. As soon as this one is over start the official one with a list of rules that's about 10 pages long including possible scenarios of a terrorist attack on a sporting venue offered for the tournament. Everything has to be included in the rules when money is involved. Ask Corey Trots for help with the fineprint.

is this a thread about people crying??

I mean whining about a FREE contest?

[durito]

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

First place wins $1,250 JJ.

[MonkeyF0cker]

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.

King,

Would you be willing to allow Bread to place his last pick? What would your stance be if you were in his shoes? Yes, your fate in the contest would lie in his hands but it's only fair. His pick may not even win. It could be a no harm, no foul scenario. I know I'd rather win legitimately than on a technicality...

[Bread]

Calm down c&d.

You couldn't be further from the truth of what this is actually about.

[pavyracer]

...that has to be rolled over multiple times.

[Bread]

Pavy....it's hilarious how I enjoy your posts now.

Life is strange.....

[durito]

...that has to be rolled over multiple times.

5x rollover.

So even to a donkey playing it at -110 it's worth $972

[Bread]

Pavy...if it's not worth winning..why is it worth playing?

I wish you would put Pool Boy back as your avatar!

Three hours before the round ended? Certainly there couldn't have been much on the board. And perhaps it was assumed that this would be awarded an extra play as nothing in the rules stated the contrary. This contest should rule in favor of making plays, not awarding winners via technicality. Keep it a handicapping contest, Crazy, not a contest full of useless rules.

[pavyracer]

Bread,

The only solution that I find as fair in this disagreement between you, king and crazyl that will involve both parties is if king picks one game for you to bet on and that will be your only choice of making a play. In this way both involved parties have a say in the outcome of your pick. You just can't be allowed to pick from an infinite pool of games.

Don't shoot the messenger please.

[jjgold]

$1000??

I take it back

I am not paying Bread that money but do see how he is upset, I thought it was for like $50

Carry on

[Richkas]

First place wins $1,250 JJ.

Thats a years salary where you come from Durito.

I see what you're saying but without rules we could all just do whatever we want, create a thread, try to have things changed. If an exception was made here, his opponent would create a thread upset that the way we've graded postponed games all tournament long wasn't maintained. So in that light, it's better to stay on the side of the precedent instead of creating one on the fly.

Either way, both people won't be happy here, but a clause was added to keep this from happening in the future.

Bread Garrett ....I do have 1 question, why did you make 5 plays on the eve of the tourney? or did i read that wrong?

[MonkeyF0cker]

I think that's a fair compromise actually. So long as both sides and totals fall within the betting restrictions in the contest...

[Bread]

You read it wrong beamer. I picked 6.

Answer: Different strategy. Had no clue it would fk me. Oh well.

[durito]

Thats a years salary where you come from Durito.

and yet you couldn't afford to live here

[durito]

yea, i'd make him pick from this game:

6813 BOLIVIA +1000
6814 BRAZIL -1500
6815 Draw +550

remember no favs over -150

In which other matchups have postponed games decided the fate of a contestant?

[Bread]

Is the point that I picked 6 games on the last day?

What if it were one game, and it was a rain out?

Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmm....

I keep saying I'm done with this, but the hypocrisy is so goddam funny, that it's keeping me going.

[bmw530i]

this turned into a great thread breadly Faustino

This is why I don't join SBR contests. They don't know how to run them and the contests get out of hand. Don't have any faith that they can run a smooth contest. Always problems with something.
