Weekly NFL Picks Contest NFL Picks Contest: On to Week 8

Click on your name on the results page, looks like you missed the Eagles/Bears and Packers/Chiefs games.

No I selected all the games something went wrong.

Yes, you picked all the games, but you missed those two (you chose the team in red):

That happened to me one week not sure if I left games open to go back to choose later or if somehow they didn't save.

Going senile so probably me.

Also, if you go to your picks page, you can visually see who you picked, with the blue selector checked for each of your selections:

That shows you who you've picked and can be modified up until just before the start of each game.

Another update - I just made it where everyone can now see all of the results for each person on that page. Since the records are there, I figured it only made sense. This is also available on all the result pages going back to Week 1.

Those also only fill in as the games are completed, so for privacy reasons, it's not possible to see who people have picked until the games are over.

Is there any way to collapse the picks without clicking refresh?

Also, to clarify, if you ever miss a pick, for now, it's omitted from the results, not counted as a loss. There will be an opportunity to correct/make up those but I haven't finished the other game yet. Hoping to get it done over the bye as things haven't quite worked out schedule-wise to complete it yet.

No - that's a bug I'll need to fix. It was initially only for the individual user so I kept it simple. But I'll take care of it when I get home tonight.

Huh thought I chose Greenbay.

What is your idea to correct/make up for missing games?
if its an easier approach need to think about only playing "the easy games" and avoid to "miss" on difficult games in order to sit on the top

if you missed a game it should be just a L as simple as that

This is for the season-long contest, primarily because there a bunch of people who missed a couple of Thursday games but otherwise are close to the season total. There will be a separate game that will allow for a bonus to either make up a missed game if they win or, if they lose, have it reverted to a loss. People will be able to make up probably up to 3 games for the entire season, and I think I'm going to allow to omit your worst week to this point - primarily to help anyone who missed a full week of games and then came in late the following week when we first started.

But aside from that, no, people won't be able to make up any more than that and it's just to help those who were late to the party when we started this at the beginning of the season. Otherwise, the weekly contests are in play and those are a clean slate each week provided everyone has a full bracket. Although any other missed games, as you mentioned, will be updated and treated as a loss.

Glad you don't have number rankings, Ian. That way I can lie to my ego and say it's not that bad.

Like winning the lottery, only to learn you have to share the prize with 3 other winners.

Wow. 15-0 is nothing to Goff at. Me? I was seeing ghosts.
