Confidence Picks - Week 3

[LincolnHawkeye]

I am bringing this format over from the football board, now that the basketball season is heating up and there are less holiday tournaments where scheduled games are undecided. Each week, I will be picking 20 games occurring on Friday-Sunday. Put the most points on the game you are most confident about. No point spreads involved. 20 will go to the game you are most confident about followed by 19, 18, etc. 1 point will be given to the game you are least confident about. Top possible score each week is 210. I will be dropping your worst week for the overall standings, so if you miss one week, not a big deal. And I will probably be taking the week of Christmas off, because it looks like there are basically no games that weekend.

If you submit your picks after a game has already started you will not receive the allotted points for that game, where ever you place it.

With scores being much lower in Week 2, everyone who played Week 1 had their Week 2 score dropped, so not much movement after 2 weeks:

I get what you are doing... but honestly placement wise it kind of punishes me for winning the week. I would pass at least one and gain on everybody else.

As a reminder, I am taking this week off since there are really no games being played this weekend. I will start things up again the week of Dec 26-Jan 1, and I might reset the standings and see if more people will join since we only had 3 entries for week 3.

If we can get more players I will be more than willing to have finished last and we can start over with everybody having to play every week.
