NBA Season Contest (Jan 19)

[Giuseppe]

I'll tell ya one thing:::If SF's light goes out before he lodges the proof I'm goin' straight to Kori. I ain't puttin' up with this .

[Spur_Fanatic]

Ok, I have a problem here.

I, basically and textually, said "first to 150 pts". But the true idea all the time was that the winner would be the one with the highest score after someone hits 150 pts. I'm torn here, I have no preferences, nor I have any chance to win it tomorrow myself.

I need more input on this issue.

Any of the low scorers (those with no chance to win, today or tomorrow) have an opinion on this issue?

Personally, I don't want to do tomorrow a 11 games match (the more games, the harder is to check and rechck all scores of the day). But at the same time, doing a 11 games match, so that can only one contestant just needs the first 2 games to be right to win it all doesn't seem very fair to me. What if someone ends up the day with more pts than Nathan tomorrow?

I want suggestions. If I'm not convince, I'll sleep it over and decide myself.

[Nathan89]

I know VBM is the only one that's going to push for this. Because when rayjay was on vacation I posted his predictions for him and when Brazil was missing games I PM'd him to let him know there was a bunch of early games.

I need a ruling. If you can't decide you can seek higher authority(Kori Ellis).

[Spur_Fanatic]

And let's be perfectly clear here:

No fighting here. This is neutral ground.

Honestly, Nathan should be penalized if he doesn't clinch tonight. The people demand the top score designation...

[Giuseppe]

I, basically and textually, said "first to 150 pts".

Then that is the rule.

Act like somebody, SF.

Yes, I recall you helped rayray and Brazil. I'll take it into consideration, I assure you. And yes, I may ask Kori's opinion on the issue.

Then that is what SF should have stated at the top. He didn't.

Solly Cholly. You lost, Nathan won.

P.s., I still love your loop.

"First to 150". So if I get the early games I will be first.

Lets let Seppe have final say. He's older and wiser than all of us.

[Giuseppe]

Kori has no say in this. + she'll be a pain in the ass with it.

This is your contest, SF. You made the rules to begin with and they said first to 150.

[Nathan89]

Penalized for not clinching tonight.

The people

Was tonight the deadline?

[Giuseppe]

"First to 150". So if I get the early games I will be first.

"First to 150" is plain as day.

I don't like it either, cause it was my fault by just stating "First to 150 pts" instead of fully explaining the idea I had from the start. But I can't penalize Nathan because I failed to further explain it on every game thread.

[jeebus]

So if Dallas wins tonight, there's no reason for anyone to play tomorrow....got it.

[Spur_Fanatic]

Seppe, quiet. You are really not helping Nathan.

[VBM]

I don't even know the score right now. Either way, I'll go the opposite of Nate's picks to keep the hold alive. You're call either way, SF. Side with the people, or side with 'seppe. Are you a Laker?

Okay, so quit beating around the bush and give your ruling. It's your contest.

[Nathan89]

Jeebus---Fine by me.

Spurs_Fan are you going to do another round?

SF will have to change the rules to abide you, V. SF has always strived to beat me about the head & shoulder about the concept of princple. Let's see if it was all talk afterall.

[Giuseppe]

Jeebus---Fine by me.

Spurs_Fan are you going to do another round?

No, Nathan. You're right. They're wrong. Don't give in. The rules were plain and blatant.

[Nathan89]

Shoulder-to-Shoulder.

[Giuseppe]

Shoulder-to-Shoulder.

My eyes have welled.

[Nathan89]

No, Nathan. You're right. They're wrong. Don't give in. The rules were plain and blatant.

I was commenting to Jeebus comment. I wasn't agreeing to VBM. I will never agree. But I will play no matter what.

[Giuseppe]

Make up your mind already, SF. I want to go to couch. I'm tired.

[Giuseppe]

Gee, it feels a little like November-2000 when Gore started to comeback in Florida.
