Week 1 results are in and posted on page 1. It's crazy how close it was. I hope everyone stays and we add a few people. Lineups for week 2 are due by Monday at 10 AM PST. I assume most of us will submit at the last minute, so I'll check back on Monday morning.

If it's not too much trouble, would you mind submitting your four-player rosters in the following format? It will make is much easier to cut and paste into the weekly scoring page.
OH: player name, school (conference) Op: player name, school (conference) S: player name, school (conference) MB: player name, school (conference)
Thanks!

I was hoping that when I logged on there would be all of the people from our exciting first week and a few newcomers. Maybe the marketing plan has not been ideal. With all of the issues last week with a couple posponed games, a rostered preseason all confernece not actually on the team, and a coach who couldn't decide if his start was an outside or opposite, it came down to the last match of the week.
Hopefully a couple more people are waiting for the last possible second. Here's hoping eatervolley, Rob, and wilbur get in within the next 45 minutes.

will robonthemic and eatervolley submit and will either not pick Gabi? Some good picks by others, I tried to be unique with picks but betting against Gabi seems high risk.

It's probably going to be Gabi plus three guesses for all of us each week. When the big west is up and running, then maybe we might see a deviation, but not before then.

How would everyone feel about a +2 bonus to the first person to submit each week and -2 penalty to people who submit late, but before noon on Monday?
The idea is that early submission would move the thread up during the week, and attract more people to potentially play. The late penalty allows for a few more people to jump in, especially the casual person who just wants to do it for the week and doesn't care about cumulative points.

I like the idea of bonus to early contributors. +2 seems like not enough if we are talking about player point that are averaging ~100 per week for the blue chippers. How about a +5 points for the first person to pick a player that at least 2 others pick later at the same position. Applies to all players so if you pick 4 players that other people pick that is +20 which might be rare but a huge bump. Maybe there could be a 10+ max bump per person. This would encourage both early picking and also a wider range of players picked. As far as late; my preference is to be a lenient as possible. Let anyone in but they can not pick a player that has competed yet that week and 3 hours before game time is time limit. 10am on Monday is more limiting than it needs to be. What I proposed is very generous, I understand if many don't like it but it would add interesting strategy and could increase participation

I kinda wanted Reardon again as OPP but the IVA schedule is not easy to find like the MPSF, MIVA, EIVA, and CC composite schedules and I could not think of another MPSF player to use with only two teams playing.

Maybe rename the thread to something a little more descriptive. It is quick and pretty easy to pick 4 players. Something like: "Men's Fantasy-Lite Weekly Prediction Contest" I am not good at marketing, LOL

I think if some more just try it they will join, last year had a lot of people in the PTW contest.

My goal of the bonus is to have people post their lineups early to attract new players. I think giving an early bird bonus equal to the points you get for coming in second place is excessive. It would devolve into a contest of who can type 'Gab'i fastest. People are going to pick the obvious choices over and over, such as Gabi. That just makes the other three choices mean more as Gabi is a total wash this week.
This week, we all waited until the last possible second to reveal our lineups. If we had six to eight regulars, that would be fine and a fun part of the contest in trying to outduel each other. My goal is to get more people playing and entice people to post earlier. Maybe we could do a designated post sequence for the regulars.
I do like fighton's idea of a different thread each week. We'd still keep this thread for the master scoring process.
