    • The Firefox issue is one thing. The guys late because they couldn't get in to the site is another, IMO. This happened last year numerous times and people were warned to get their picks in early. If you want to wait for the last second information on the games and then can't get in...tough luck...that's the risk you take. The 'not being able to get in' excuse opens the door for every yahoo to use that excuse whenever they are late for whatever reason and is not fair to everyone else.

        I didn't take advantage of anything. In my rush to get my play in on time for this fine contest I stopped at the rule that referenced TOTALS since I liked that game under. It wasn't until I knew I had made it on time that I went back and realized that the next rule said NO TOTALS so I posted my first (and only) side for week "zero". I look forward to competing with the other 1-0 contestants. Shalom Y'all!

        • The over and under is at 8 this year for the contest, book is close to pulling all odds off the board on the over/under for this contest

          smart money say's 9 or more mistakes to come

          good luck all

            • I played all season last year and never experienced a Firefox problem.
              Just curious is this a permanent problem as still no access via Firefox????
              I think the Slowpokes could at least have been given a courtesy 0-1 in the
              standings. LOL

              Good Luck everyone.

              • If you read Jeff's explanation you would know that the Firefox issue was as a result of a security update Bettorsworld implemented and that it will be fixed. The effect it had was that it wouldn't let you 'click on' (open) an existing thread. It has nothing to do with the other issue of not being able to get into the site at all (last year's issue also) which likely has to do with an overload of traffic on Saturday mornings? Just a guess. Personally, I think they should make a one time exception as a result of the Firefox issue, and maybe they are still thinking about it hence the 'no score'? I don't know for sure. But if you couldn't get into the site at all it was not the 'Firefox issue'.

                • As for the shortened games, you never know what would have happened. If the books called it a 'no action' that's what we should have done IMO. It's just not fair to the ones who were on the losing side. We could have let the one's affected pick 2 games this week. But that's just my opinion...I'm not the one interpreting/making the rules.

                  • Thanks Dragon, just found Jeff's statement. Glad to hear it is
                    only a temporary interruption in service. At worst only 1 game
                    behind and a whole bunch to go. Best of Luck this season.
