WTF?! I swear when picking Houston the only games were Stetson and Towson were listed for this week. I'm ****ed!
When I listed them, they didn't have the tournament games on the schedule yet. Houston & Wichita St both snuck past me.
FWIW, Houston is playing right now. They're ranked #6, playing unranked Utah.
Watching now because my *** is on the line. Whole reason I picked them was them playing nobody's. If I had known a power 5 matchup was possible I'd of never picked them.
Sorry - it was out of my control. Expect more of the same next week. It's a minefield right now!
You're safe for now.
That game was so scary. Utah has a damn good team. Dayton will be no picnic either.
After the games tonight I will be doing another check for previously unlisted games tomorrow and Sunday.
Definitely picking just 1 next week with all the Thanksgiving tourneys next week it's going to be a bloodbath.
If you do this next year, I would just skip the chart of who they are playing for week and only list who the available teams are for the week. Make the player do the dirty work and it would be so much less work for you. That seems like such a major task. Just a suggestion, but much appreciate the work you're doing so thanks for doing it.
I was doing fine until the unexpected tournaments this week...but yeah, maybe it would be best to just list who's available. I was hoping to draw more people in if I made the selection process a little easier.
I've also been mulling over a different method of bonus points next year (if people want to play again) that would take into account not just how many teams a player picks in a week, but also how many wins each team earns. That would give more separation in numbers between someone picking one team that plays once and someone else picking three teams that play multiple games.
def. think picking teams that play multiple games in a week should get more points next year.
Good to know! Wish I'd thought of it before we started.
Marking down each teams next game and next week there is going to be a ton of teams going down.
