This is a copy of what i sent to pmedic friday he can verify.

 

[SweepSanFran]

I hope this will satisfy Indyhawk. Was not trying upset anyone. Had a great time playing against you two guys.

 

[Jegpeg]

Here's my full list which Pmedic can verify.

Sorry I caused this mess, I was only trying to keep the competition fair however I can understand Indyhawks frustration with Sweepsanfran and I assuming submitting predictions by PM when he had not agreed to it. I'll let Pmedic decide whether either or both of us should be disqualified.

It does but too late, I just gave up after my last post and went out.
I wasn't likely to win anyway but wasn't out yet either but oh well.
Have fun with that shirt.
Need to be on board with setup for the whole way next season.

 

[pmedic920]

I didn't know we were going to make changes at the end, so this
became something I never agreed to do; I'm done with it.

Slow your roll Ghost Rider

I said VERY CLEARLY that everyone would need to agree.

The suggestion was made to keep everything fair and on the up n up.

Fact is, coming down to the last week the leader could easily just post the exact same picks as the next in line.
This was an oversight in the beginning but we are certainly NOT changing the rules UNLESS EVERYONE IS IN AGREEMENT.

I haven’t been keeping track because y’all are policing yourselves fine.

You don’t have to agree, and we will leave everything the same.

It was nothing more than a way to keep things fair and competitive.

 

[pmedic920]

I’m not going to disqualify anyone unless there is a legitimate reason based on what was discussed in the beginning.

Please just chat amongst yourself either here or in private and come up with a final decision.

If you want to extend into playoffs that would be fine, I just want everyone to have fun, the contest to be fair.

I’m open to keeping things the same as always, as well as making a modification according to your desire and input.

Work it out yourselves and let me know.

If you determine there is already a winner let me know and send me contact/shipping info.

Didn’t we decide on 2nd &3rd place prizes as well?

If so I’ll need that info too.


I would ABSOLUTELY NEVER start a contest with hard feelings and animosity in mind.

This is about fun and camaraderie

It's fine,
It's over and done with for me, It's between the other two now.

If there is a third place, I'm donating it to next season.

 

[SweepSanFran]

What a season. Coming down to the last game. Good luck Jegpeg

 

[SweepSanFran]

Well what a game. Comes down to the tie breaker I guess. I think i could feel you willing the Stealers to the win. What a season, man that was fun.

 

[pmedic920]

This is what I got sent.


Let me know who won (Congratulations)

I’ll need both shipping addresses as we have 1st and 2nd place prizes
Should go without saying, PM me don’t post your name and addresses here.

I’ve been busy and haven’t come up with my contribution, but I will before I ship, and I’ll post pics here.

I’d greatly appreciate a bit of thought and input from everyone that participated in how we can tweak this format for further contests.

Obviously this wasn’t perfect, and that’s on me. I own it and apologize.

 

[Jegpeg]

I make it 174 points to both @SweepSanFran and me with Sweepsanfran winning by virtue of being closest on total points for.

The rules clearly say that the winner is the person with the most points at the end of the regular season, I certainly don't think we should change that now just so I have a chance of winning. Congrats Sweep. I am in the UK (I'll PM my address), hopefully that doesn't make sending the second prize to difficult but if it does just keep it for next year.

Regarding possible changes for next year, I enjoyed the contest and see the only issue the possibility at the end of the leader just copying the picks of the person in second once only 2 people have a realistic chance of winning, this is what cause all the problems at the end, but giving players the option of PMing there predicitons to @pmedic920 before kick-off and posting them here after would resolve that.

Right through the season Pmedic was saying he doubted the tie break would come into effect but it was close right the way through I would expect the winning margin to be less than 5 points or so which does make the possibilty of a tie reasonably high (as happened this year). This year's tie break was fine but we could also use the post season as a tie break, if two (or more) people are tied then they predict the WC round to decide the winning, if that is also a tie they predict the divisional round and so on, to ensure we get a winner, in the unlikely event it gets to the SB they could predict the score.

 

[SweepSanFran]

Thank you Pmedic for putting up the contest it was great. i am sorry for the confusion in the end had a great time playing the entire season. I am glad Indyhawk and Jegpeg continued to play the entire way through. I agree with Jegpeg we should pm our last predictions to guard against any funky stuff. I think the tie-breakers could stay the same with an extra provision where you take the differential of points for and points against as compared to the real points for and against and use that number as the ultimate tie-breaker. I dont really think we could get past the tie-breakers we already have but maybe. Anyways great game I enjoyed the heck out of it, wished more people would have played.

Now on to the super bowl. go Seahawks.

 

[IndyHawk]

Congrats to the winners first.
However, it's played at the start should stay that way for 17 games.

Hence my statement that nothing would change unless EVERYONE still in agrees with the Modification.

The possibility of the leading player just copying the same predictions going into the last week or two was an oversight, unexpected complication.

We will either do something completely different or make appropriate adjustments next season.

 

[pmedic920]

I can’t for the life of me find what I did with the Zippo and wine stopper.

I apologize for that, it’s 100 on me and I own it.

This is what I’ve come up with as a replacement, and will be sent along with the Jersey to our winner.

Hopefully @SweepSanFran still has a player stashed away, it’s actually a great watch.
