New feature is the COVID Bonus Point: Pick 1 game on the card that you think will be cancelled! I didn't think this through: Cancellations happen prior to the posting deadline (I must be desperate for entertainment). I'm nullifying this idea.

NP, Joe.
I "unpinned" last year's Pick'em string. It's still here on the Board, but fallen back into chronological order based on the date of the last post.

Dear Free
Dex never...oops I mean I am a charter Pickem member from back in the day and have never offered suggestions.
That changes Now.
I've been thinking....why do we include the opponent's players in the High Scorer tiebreaker?
I have more interest on how Duke or Nate or AJ scored in a game than Scruggs going off for 30.
Just my 2 cents which, BTW, is usually valued as 22 cents because I'm an "astute" fan.

Just my 2 cents which, BTW, is usually valued as 22 cents because I'm an "astute" fan. I believe my original thinking was simply to make it a tougher prediction. I think I may have started with the Providence high scorer being the 1st (and only) tiebreaker, but I remember years when the top scorer for Providence was often easy to predict, so we actually had a rather ineffective tiebreaker. At some point it was changed to the high scorer among either team to make it tougher. The other tiebreaker of total points in the Providence game was added, and then the sequence of the two tiebreakers was later switched, and at some point I eliminated OT points in the total points tiebreaker. The total points tiebreaker takes care of almost all ties and we seldom go to the high scorer tiebreaker, so we could make it just the Providence high scorer and not really lose much effectiveness. I find I'm often too lazy to check out the other team's top scorers as it is. A lot of the Pick'em history has been lost either when we switched host forums and/or when I gave up my employer's laptop (though I may have that stuff on a backup somewhere).

As to a lot of Pick-em history being lost, I think that's the case because I seem to remember me winning almost every year. I'm pretty sure my memory is sharp and I give you permission to pick my brain with any questions.
But I can't seem to remember the name "dex" wearing the crown. If he claims to, let him think that Free. Remember, be kind to old people this Christmas season.
PIZZA, SODA, GRINDERS!!!

YES the total points tiebreaker is the true Maginot Line Unless the opposition has a prolific scorer, I never pick an opposing player. If it's just our guys we could give a Certificate Of Appreciation to the bird who gets it right the most. At least it would be another chance for Thumper to win Something. You know like everyone gets a trophy these days in Little League....

While many in the Big East office are scratching their heads trying to schedule and re-schedule games, howsabout our man Free Weyinmi employing the most sophisticated computer software programs yet devised by man trying to get our contests structured. The man has the patience of Job.
Actually I've been thinking about poor Free trying to navigate this labyrinth of a season. I just want to say it would be alright with most of us if you decide it's just not worth the trouble this year And call it a day. Naturally I would be declared the winner of Pickem yet again with of course an asterisk this time.
My ONLY concern is the sanity of good ole Free.
