NBA Season Contest Round 2 (Rules and Suggestions)

[Spur_Fanatic]

First of all, Nathan just got his trophy. Gratz to him.

I'd also like to thank everyone that played. It was a bit tiring, but it was fun to manage.
I have some ideas to reduce the workload now, so this won't be a problem, so no worries.

Some rules I though so far:

- No "XXX is absent today, this are his picks".
- No more post-editing (so be sure your picks are all bolded)
- The game threads are holy ground in SpursTalk, so no fighting inside.
- Winner of next round will be the one with the highest score after someone hits 150 pts.

I opened this thread for any suggestion you may have.
Rules, bonus ideas, bonus questions, etc. Everything is welcome.

Overall Score:

Nathan89 156 pts
VBM 152 pts
Brazil 150 pts
rayray 148 pts
jeebus022 141 pts
Dex 139 pts

Can I be Contest Proctor, SF, on permanent basis? I'll serve at your behest.

[jeebus]

Just as long as the point total ending is verified, that's all that really needed to be addressed.

Sure. But you must have one of the following pics as your avatar:

[midnightpulp]

Choose the first one, Cul. Represents you perfectly.

[Spur_Fanatic]

Final scores posted.

[rayjayjohnson]

4th hey. not bad i suppose.

All of SF's rules seem fair

[ElNono]

I might be asking for much, but would it be possible to post the contest threads a little earlier. There's no reason to have to wait for a day to be over before posting the next day. It's just easier for me to do my picks at night before I head to bed than during the day at work. Some of the contest threads didn't appear until 3 AM here and that's how I actually missed entering my picks once (which kinda ruined the competition for me)

Thanks for running this thing, BTW. You're doing a great job and it's fun.

[Spur_Fanatic]

I normally post the next day's thread right after the present one is over. But sure, let me see what I can do.
I can always try to keep the logs open till the very last moment.

[Spur_Fanatic]

Edited first post to add more stats.

Sorry man, ain't gonna happen. The next round is mine.:ihit

But a well deserved win in this round.:toast

[Spur_Fanatic]

In fact, what shows is that VBM was the more regular of us all.

And his complaint was fine, and logical. It was my screwup.

[VBM]
