You're joking...I picked on time, made a very good pick, and now it's not gonna count? That's ridiculous.

Now that the Nebraska and Arizona games are scored, I had two questions for hawkwing:



1- How do you enter 2010 games? You hadn't quite figured this out last we "talked".



2- Should we even do a pick'em for the East Western New Mexico Tech game this week? They aren't Div. I and won't count towards our record or RPI...

#1 - Make sure you added them using 2009 as the season, and all should be well.



#2 - I don't know about this, what do the people want?

I think Schmoe had a good idea. The people the filled out the prediction get half the points they would have for that game.

The remaining schedule, from UNLV Jan. 6th - @ TCU Mar. 6th is now available for prediction entering!

The MWC Tourny info will be added when it becomes known.

Yes, it looks a little long (not too bad really), but I think hawkwing has been tinkering around with what makes it appear the most pleasing to the eye and may still have another tweak he wants to do.

Yes, I have adjustments coming, they will limit the # of games shown with the ability to scroll through them. I just want to make sure I have it working properly first.

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!

I love the new links at the top-right by the way.

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.

What will Air Forces final score be?60

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

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.

3 new players against Wyoming: beauso79, Mythranor, and riley!

And good to see sandiegoblue and srcougar stick around too!
