stooged is trying to say that our listed deadline of Saturday 12:00 Midnight is actually Friday night.
Nice try, but I'm pretty sure it is a fact that when one says Saturday Midnight, it means one second after 11:59:59 PM on Saturday, not Friday. Midnight Saturday is the "middle" of SATURDAY night.
It sucks when something comes up or Internet goes down. And sometimes we just get distracted or forget.
One fix for the future would be to go with an online service to enter our picks and allow changes right up until Saturday at Midnight. Then everyone could put some picks in early and at least have something in if something comes up, but we could still go back and make changes if we want. It would also keep the picks private until they are opened up at the deadline. It would also eliminate the need for a scorekeeper as the software would compile the results and create standings.
Or if we want to keep it in the Forum, I bet there is a way to adjust the thread so that we can edit our picks up until the deadline. That would also take care of it. You could post early and then go back and edit that same post as many times as you like right up until the deadline. We could probably do that right away. I see no downside to that.
