NFL Playoff Pool Week 1 trash talk

Looks like a bunch of people had no faith in Seattle, especially sherry, putting a 20 spot on Washington. Jacksonville escaped with a win, I figured they were the better team, but beating the Steelers twice at their place is hard to do for any team. Looking forward to 2 more good games tomorrow. What should I do about ftmyersTRD? If you look at his picks, he put 10 points on 3 teams, I didn't catch it until tonight. What do you think is fair? Should he get 5 points when he gets his picks right, or just give him a "0"? Anyone have any better solutions?

I thought the Redskins had one more in them, o well.

I picked the Jags because some time during the season I think I said I wouldn't pick Pit again if they were playing Miami in Pit, and I stuck with it. They did look like they were going to pull it off, but I hung in to the end.. Great game.

The instructions seemed clear to me. I say give him 0. Worst case is he starts with a 50 pt handicap, which isn't really that bad since the point values start going up. If he's a good picker, he'll be in it.

Re: NFL Playoff Pool Week 1 trash talk

+1, I agree Ordoman, plenty of games remaining for him to get back in it. Give him the ten for any correct pick he assigned 10 point to, and zero the rest that way if he gets one correct he's only -40.

Re: NFL Playoff Pool Week 1 trash talk

Thanks for the replies guys, but..... he got them ALL right. I'm thinking I can't dock him for anything now. If he would have got even 1 wrong, I probably would give him 5 for the first and 10 for the second. I'm thinking I gotta give him all 50 now.

Re: NFL Playoff Pool Week 1 trash talk

I'm ready to post for next week.....but I honestly don't know what to do with ftmyersTRD. He got all the games correct, but put 10 point three times. I really try my best to make this fair for everyone. I don't want even 1 of you to be mad about a decision I have to make. I have 2 opinions that I respect, anyone else want to chime in? I really want to give this guy 50 points because he got all his picks correct. Will anyone have a problem with that?? Honestly, let me know in this thread or pm me if you want to stay anonymous. I'll wait to post for next week until this matter is resolved.

Re: NFL Playoff Pool Week 1 trash talk

I say he buys beer for everyone !! And he gives me the picks for the next week playoff games. I guess my "throw a dart at the board" method really stinks !!

Re: NFL Playoff Pool Week 1 trash talk

Here's the picks ftmyersTRD made.
Chargers 20
Jacksonville 10
Seattle 10
Giants 10
Here's my.02 -
20 for the Chargers, 10 for the Jags, 10 for the Seahawks , and five for the Giants. Because he didn't make a 15 pt call he loses 5pts. Treat the Giants as a 5 pt call.
I think this is fair.

Re: NFL Playoff Pool Week 1 trash talk

He got all 4 right. Since all 4 were correct I think your decision for 50 points would be correct. Whether he applied 10 or 15 points all the games were still correct.

OK by me. You're running the pool and the one that has to deal with it, so whatever you decide should be final.
