Reminder: Picks are Due

Did you get your picks in yet? It's a tricky week. I'm expecting lots of movement in the pool this week.

UPDATE2 : I asked the owner of the FunOfficePools.com web site how they would handle the Texas vs. Arkansas game postponement. Here is his response

We go through all pools and delete the game from each player's picks. If the pool is weighted, we shift all points down by 1 point for any game with a value higher than that person put on the deleted game. Then we delete the game off the Manage Matchups so no one else joining the pool will make picks for that game.

The one hiccup is if someone is updating their picks right then when that logic runs. They will likely get an error since the game will be gone by the time the roundtrip of their submit hits the server.

I'll run this sometime this morning because there is a Thursday night game tonight, and points will be awarded that will be higher than after I run this logic.

In other words, the postponement shouldn't affect your picks, and most of you don't have to do anything. HOWEVER, if you're updating your picks this morning...it wouldn't be a bad idea to log in again this afternoon to confirm that it all works like it should. You would simply be checking to make sure that your picks are all sorted out.
