930 Survival Football Pool - 2009

[vansmack]

i like 1 PM PDT (4 EDT).  in fact, i'm in favor of letting folks pick any game that hasn't started yet, i.e. any time before kick-off of monday night football... in case someone pulls an eros.

I don't have that option in the settings.

I only have (1) 5 Minutes before kickoff or (2) kick off of the first Sunday game.

I only have (1) 5 Minutes before kickoff or (2) kick off of the first Sunday game.

that's a typo, no?  earlier you mentioned:

I have two options:

(1) 5 minutes before start of first game or (2)  1 PM PDT.

Anybody have a preference?

i prefer 1 PM PDT, AKA 4 PM EDT (option #2)... if that is indeed an option.

anyone else?

[vansmack]

And yes it says EDT not PDT.  West coast bias....

Yes, I said I was in error above.

It's 1 PM EDT not PDT.

It's really wierd though because the settings say 1 PM EDT as one of my options, but when I make my pick it clearly says "Deadline to submit pick: 9/13/2009 1:00 pm PDT" which is what caused the confusion...

Actuallythe more I think about it, High Stakes should rule.

If Seth and GGW want 5 Mins before first kickoff, then so be it.

But decide sooner rather than later so I can get the message out....

I would prefer the deadline being before the week's first game but it's not a strong preference.  If you and others prefer the Sunday option I can go along with that.  I defer to your commishness.

Same with me. 

The group "settings" state that the deadline is Sunday @ 1:00PM EDT but when I click on my pick it says 9/13/2009 4:00PM EDT.

[vansmack]

Check your page to tell me if it says EDT...



EDIT: Thanks GGW - I put Yahoo on notice.

note the continued discrepancy...

COMMISH MESSAGE

I WOULD MAKE MY PICK, TODAY, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 10, AS THERE IS A DISCREPENCY IN HOW YAHOO IS HANDLING THEIR SUNDAY PICKS (1PM EDT vs 1PM PDT).

IT'S BETTER TO BE SAFE THEN SORRY ON THE FIRST WEEK.

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Fantasy Sports.

I apologize for any confusion caused due to the Group Settings Weekly
Deadline conflicting with the Weekly Deadline displaying on Team Pages.

Please note, the Weekly Deadline displaying on the Group Settings page
is the correct deadline.

We're investigating why the Weekly Deadline being displayed on Team Page
is conflicted with the deadline on the Group Settings page.

comments or questions, please feel free to reply to this e-mail and we
will gladly assist you.

Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Fantasy Sports.

So there you have it - the deadline is kickoff of the first game Sunday morning...

[sweetcell]

up to 17 players in the pool!  still room for more...

who is "revenge" - seth?

latest message from yahoo: "Please note that we are aware of the Sunday 1pm ET deadline bug that is preventing some users from entering their picks. We are working swiftly to fix it. Thank you for your patience."

didn't realize that this was preventing picks... i only thought it created confusion!

Are your picks going to be any different?  If not, we can use the Yahoo interface and we'll know whomever lasts longer betwewn GGW and "Revenge."

If you want Tom to hold the money, that's fine, but you and GGW are old hands at exchanging winnings....

Well, it's really only been a one way street, but he has picked up his winnings from Tom before.
