    #4 All picks must be posted in one post. In the event you're unable to post your picks because of technical problems please email them to [email protected]

    #5 No corrections or editing of picks is allowed.......be careful, could result in a 0-5 for the week.

    #6 This contest will run for the regular season of 17 weeks @ 5 picks per week = 85 total picks. 1 point for a win and 1/2 point for a tie.

    #7 The Wednesday-Thursday-Saturday rule: If you're using a Wed, Thurs. and or Sat. game in your picks then all picks must be posted in one post at least one hour before the earliest NFL scheduled kick off time. See rule number 4.

          There is nothing spelled out in the rules between the Words Will and Could- Hence Winnersbyt&B Origininal Question.

          It is pretty basic question in regards to rule 5-

          Will result in 0-5 or Could result in 0-5 what could be the difference?

          Please do not tell me to read the rules and dismiss the question as yesterday news.

            Rule #5 has existed for five years. Now you are challenging it?

              Not challenging Rule 5 I want to make it clear. Just give us one example where it will result in 0-5 not could result in 0-5. Not the posted late example we know that one. Is there another instance which will result in 0-5?

                Just change the word "could" to "will" in rule 5. Wouldn't that settle things definitively?

                    Rules:

                    Last season a few posted picks past the deadline. There will be NO exception this year. Please read the rules thoroughly. I repeat NO exceptions.

                    DOES THIS RING A BELL ?

                      What's your point? You are really starting to aggravate me. Jeff, Monroe Eaford and myself do all the work and you do all the complaining.

                        All I did was ask for clarity on a question. There is no complaining here.

                        If you cannot provide a response to COULD vs WOULD just say so.

                            Using "could" gives some wiggle room. Maybe some newbie edits their post, but well before the deadline. You COULD cut him some slack.

                            In fact, it would be great if we could edit our picks right up until the deadline! What's the harm? That way, you could put 5 picks in early and that would ensure you won't forget and miss out if you go on a bender on Saturday night.

                            There's absolutely no harm in doing so, as it doesn't mess up the scorer or anything. At midnight, Saturday it locks.

                            Right now the edit is set to like one minute. It can easily be changed.

                            Okay, now let the flaming begin! :-)

                              If your post contains the same team twice and it gets fixed in a reasonable amount of time would that result in a 0-5?
                              What if you post your picks and then change a few of your picks?
