Bovada NCAA CBB pick em Elite 8 games 2/20-2/23

Lordofdring tried to cheat on another giveaway that I won few days ago and got disqualified because of that. Same issue. Wish we can all see the last edit day.

It sucks for me to play the the copy paste guy who just adds 1 to the first tiebreaker. But then its worse that he got to change his picks after the 5 pm deadline. I feel bad for the people that picked me in the $500 contest, but i guess theres no legitamcy to any of this since no moderator prevented that from happening.

I personally dont see any issue with adding 1 to tiebreaker or play with opponent picks since it can be stragic. People here do it all the time. Its just that editing after the deadline should be strictly banned.

I agree with everything you say. I only did what what ring and rmillia agreed upon last week with the copy pasting. But apparently they also agreed on editing picks after the deadline without telling everyone else. Have a good one, im done for the night.

As i stated last week there’s absolutely no advantage to copy and paating your opponents picks unless you think you don’t aren’t as good at picking CBB as they are

In which case you would be better off trying to get lucky on the tiebreaker

But we start fresh every week now

So there’s no upside to picking the same games as the other person at all

I didn’t close the picks right away because i was busy doing Dad stuff

If people want to try and game the system by picking the same game ad their opponent so as to make it a 50/50 proposition that’s fine but i don’t need to hear people compassion about it either as that’s decisions everyone makes of their own sites

No one HAS to copy another players picks. Ib fact you’d likely better off not doing so in most instances but if you cost to do that and the other player edits their tiebreaker before i close the thread then it is what it is

If anyone doesn’t like that they are more than welcome to either A. Not compete in comps i run going forward or B. Host abd run these comps themselves where they can institute whatever rules they want to

Hope that clears everything up

You still let him cheat.

Tim its not cheating

YOU changed your picks to match his

He then changed hos tiebreaker

Both of which are fine until i close the thread

I have no idea why you thought copying his picks was a good idea but that was your decision not mine

You now have a 50/50 shot to won based on only 1 tiebreaker

Next time just put your picks in based on what you think will actually happen

I can’t control what picks people want to enter and the thread is open til i closer it. Thats how it is

If that bothers you you don’t have to participate

Pretty easy

I think his name is Tim

The mood is all good

I don’t get why anyone is upset frankly

Just make your picks and trust them is what i do

But of you want to do gamesmanship that’s cool top. Just don’t get mad when it happens back to you

I still don’t get how there is any strategic advantage to copying and pasting and relying on tiebreakers to win… it’s just trying to take it all down to one coin flip vs any actual selection/capping of games.

That being said… even without copy paste my matchup with @bomborivera is coming down to 4 games we differ on and tiebreakers. I got first 2 games right and he got first two tiebreakers.

It comes down to Colorado State and Drake for me. Either of them win I win. They both lose and bombo takes it down with tiebreakers. Just glad we get opportunity at this type of stuff more with @Rmilia1 volunteering his time and effort to put this together and track everything. People should be giving him credit not shit for how this is being run. If it weren’t for him this opportunity wouldn’t even be here for us.

Let’s all hug and make up. :v:t3: :heart:

Jet his. Just a heads up

I’m doing the Final 4 a little different this year

All 4 of the winners will still be competing vs each other but we are going to stay picks on Thursday but end on Monday ( like the real tourney does )

And because it’s the F4 we will be picking 50 games over 4 days not just 25

You make the rules and we make the picks (if we get there) not to speak too soon but Colorado state up 7 with 10 seconds to go I hope is a lock for me to win this.
