  • Return of RATPICKERS?



    Last year we had a weekly game picking contest on yahoo that was set up just before the first game. Wanted to see if there was any interest in continuing this year. Please respond if you would be interested, and which rule you would prefer:

    1. Prefer using Confidence Points
    2. Prefer not using Confidence Points
    3. Am OK with either Confidence Points or not

    Trying to do a poll - will see if it works.
    5
    Use Confidence Points
    0%
    2
    Do Not Use Confidence Points
    0%
    1
    OK Either Way, Confidence Points or not
    0%
    2

    The poll is expired.

    I like it with the confidence points, although we did lose a few people because they forgot about them, scored 0, and then gave up.

      In and although I'd be fine with either, prefer the simplicity of option 2 and not using confidence points. Much quicker to fill out each week (albeit it does rachet down the skill factor a bit).
      60% of the time it works every time.

        I like the points but it is more time consuming and Yahoo doesn’t help by still showing the numbers you already used. I vote straight up with the tiebreakers.

          I see the used numbers as gray and the unused in black in the drop down. I use Firefox on Windows.

            Maybe do two leagues. I like the confidence points better as more thought and skill is required, but do the other kind also for those who don't like it.

              Don't mind either way. I usually forget to make picks on some weeks ago I don't really get a say.

                You could have some kind of a default of picks based on the national majority for people who forget.

                  Do it on my phone but eyes could be jacked up.

                    Always possible, but I also suspect that you are more familiar than you want to be with browser/platform inconsistencies.

                        Not sure how a poll gets 8000 views but only 5 responses. Anyway, it seems evenly divided.

                        Have created two groups, since they are easy to set up. One has confidence points, one doesn't. New thread to follow.
