I was just coming here to post this: any games moved up after the contest begins will be removed from the contest. This has caused problems too many times over the years, especially for members who like to wait until Friday to pick Friday's games.

Makes sense to me Coach

I’ve been taking a beating this year! I’m just trying to stay in the top 50!

For some reason it’s not letting me pick anyone else having problems

[CoachT]

I can make picks. Were you signed in at that time?

Right now 1 or two wins is a huge leap up the leader board.  With this many games this week hopefully there will be a little more separation.

I corrected my earlier post.  My placement was 30 instead of 34.  I must have seen my placement after losing Thursday night's game.  So I went up a couple spots overall but still lost ground by one game on the leader.   Good luck.  If I can hang close to you I'll be just fine.

4th week results

Thursday:  1-0

Week:  16-6

Dawgs:  2-1  (Giles, McMinn Central - Forrest)

Games  <8:   3-1

Placement:  22 (+8)

Games back:  6  (-1)

Analysis:  Meh.   I pulled a couple dawgs out of thin air last week but General's team was an out on the limb what was I thinking moment.  Moved up 8 spots but once again lost a game on the leader. 

I have 2 options, shoot the moon a little each week or hope those above me fall prey to slipping on a nanner, bumping their head and forgetting to make their picks. 

Since I only picked 2 dogs this week, I guess I'm hoping for the latter.   

Good luck.

I only picked one dog this week so you may gain one on me... in years past you always seem to be near the top, so if I can stay ahead of you I've done something

My dogs generally work out.  Its been about 3 sure things that ended in an upset that burned me.

You are having another excellent year.

I did notice @toinemac failed to pick the Thursday night game and since he was the leader at the time everyone that picked Coalfield gained a game on the leader. 

Roughly looking, I had a good week overall, but oddly enough, though understandably, I gained one on the leaders while losing a spot overall. 

If you can stay ahead of @pujo then you've accomplished something. 

Top 15 is where I'd like to finish.
