SEOP - EA Pick'em Playoff Round 1 Results

[sprinter14]

Well, in my 3 or 4 years of running the contest, I have never had this situation. I am not a moderator on this site and I can't lock the picks thread at 6 pm on Friday's. Even if I were a moderator, I may not be able to be on a computer at 6 pm on Fridays.

Anyway, the spirit of the contest is to have your picks in and FINAL on Friday at 6 pm. I did not specify that you could not change Saturday picks.

Here is our problem, thill2010 led the contest with a 21-4 week. But his picks were edited at 9:29 pm on Friday night. I have no way of knowing what games were changed on Friday night. thill, I know you may be mad at me and had no intention of cheating, but I have no choice but to disqualify you from the competition.

The top 16 players to advance went 16-9 or better. Players who went 15-10 but had a one game advantage will also be moving on.

Here are the standings as they finished

1) (21-4)

I was really worried about whether I would advance or not with such a crappy weekend. Glad to hear I move on.

I only changed the Piketon and Canal Winchester games

[thill2010]

I think you should change my record to 16-9 since I changed 5 games on Friday night which were the Canal Winchester,Piketon,Trimble, Cincinnati Hills Christian and Bishop Fenwick games

So you did go in and change your picks after the games were over? You are admitting to cheating but you still want to be in?

[Burg_Grad_77]

You changed 5 Friday night games at 9:30 pm after they were decided to go 16-0 and you think you deserve to continue. Really??

Dude, that is just out and out cheating. If I was running the contest I wouldn't even let you play next season.

[THE GOVENOR]

Well I'm out!!! "unless" is it to late to change my pick's!!!! lol SVvikelineX2 it's up to you man.

[thill2010]

I think sprinter14 should count the games I got right and take away the ones that were edited

[s.v.vikinglinex2]

will try GOVENOR need to keep it in the Valley!

[Burg_Grad_77]

I think sprinter14 should count the games I got right and take away the ones that were edited

I don't. If he hadn't caught it you would gotten away with cheating and went 16-0 on Friday and had a good shot at winning the playoffs and the $50.

You have to be kidding? You admitting to cheating everyone but still think you should be allowed to continue?

The nerve of some people!

[thill2010]

I made a honest mistake and technically the thread wasn't locked so I went in and edited the games before they were even over

[Crab's Brother]

I made a honest mistake and technically the thread wasn't locked so I went in and edited the games before they were even over

In back to back post in this thread you said you only changed 2 games and then the next message you said you changed 5 games. Your post was edited at 9:29.

At 8:47 Piketon was up 35-14.
At 9:21 You posted Canal Winchester was up 21-10
At 9:27 Trimble lead 34-6 per a post.

The games you changed were decided when you changed your picks. You tried to cheat everyone still in it.

NO way you should be allowed to continue..

[Burg_Grad_77]

I made a honest mistake and technically the thread wasn't locked so I went in and edited the games before they were even over

Really?? Like Crab said, you edited games that were pretty much decided by changing your picks of the losing teams to the winning teams and you think you should allowed to continue. No way!!

[s.v.vikinglinex2]

good call sprinter on not letting him continue.

[thill2010]

It has a honest mistake and had the thread been locked I wouldn't have done it

[Burg_Grad_77]

Doesn't matter if it was open or closed. You have played all year and the rules said no picks or edits after 6 pm. I could see if it just a few minutes after the time limit but to do it after the games had already been decided and to change from the losing team to the winning one is blatant cheating.

[sprinter14]

I try to spot check the contest every week and make sure nobody edited after gametime, I may not have caught this one if he hadn't gone 21-4 and blown everyone away!! When one person dominates, I ALWAYS go back and check their post for edit times.

Anyway, I will not compromise the integrity of the contest, my decision is final.

As for the payout, Nobody was able to add anything to the contest in the way of additional prizes or cash, so it is just my original advertised payout. The top 3 finishers in the regular season get $25, $15, and $10 and the playoff champion gets the grand prize of $50 courtesy of E A Home Supply.

If anyone on here is building or remodeling, E A Home Supply will sell to SEOP members at wholesale price. I usually just deal with contractors and apartment complexes, but my SEOP family can buy just as cheap. We sell cabinets, flooring, siding, windows, doors, trim, etc. If you are having carpet installed or replaced, do yourself a favor and contact me!!

Thanks to everyone who has played!

It has a honest mistake and had the thread been locked I wouldn't have done it
