Re: Basketball Prediction Game

Post by hawkwing »

I've made some big changes to the bball predictions... first off, it displays games by month, with links at the top to each month. This helps keep the table from getting too large and difficult to work with (I hope). I've also changed some internal workings that was causing it to calculate every little detail every time the page was opened, making it much slower than I wanted. This should provide a noticeable increase in speed. And lastly, I've made it possible to sort by total score, average score, user, or individual game results. One note about this, the way the database works storing the information, if you sort by game, you're only shown the people who made guesses for that game, for example, if you sort by the Arizona State game, I wont show up, because I forgot to get my guesses in on time. I hope these changes make for a more usable and enjoyable experience!

The stats are entered for the UNLV game and the week is scored, but the scores aren't showing up. If Sno clicks on his game predictions, he will see that he got 45 points, but it's not showing for all users at the main prediction screen.

Maybe it's just the older computer I'm using not loading correctly...

I for some reason can't enter any scores or nothing. This happened last game as well and I thought I got locked out, but I was calculating the time difference wrong and had about 2 hours before the UTEP tipoff. needless to say, I didn't get any predictions in.


Here's my predictions for AFA. If someone out there could enter them manually that would be great.
Who will win? BYU

What will BYU's final score be? 73
What will Air Forces final score be?60

Who will have more turnovers? AFA

What will BYU's FG% (field goal percentage) be? 48.8

What will BYU's 3pt% (3 point percentage) be? 40

What will Air Force's FG% (field goal percentage) be? 42
What will Air Force's 3pt% (3 point percentage) be? 33
Who will shoot make more free-throws?
BYU
Who will have more 3-pointers?
BYU
Which team will have more blocks (block the opposing team)?
BYU
Which player will score the most?
Tavernari
Which player will have the most assists?
Gotta go with who's hot- Hawes
Which player will have the most rebounds?
Hartsock
Which player will have the most steals?
Emery

Wow, were my picks lousy for the CSU game. Looking over the predictions by the group at the top, it is a good thing that there are three constants in this world: death, taxes and Jackson having the most steals.
