I was more making fun of myself, but I see how the points worked now.

Go ladies, please win!

You know, for most of this season, it's felt like NPPG was lower scoring and that it was more difficult this year to gain points.
But I figured the ASG was a great time to compare to last season. The numbers are nearly identical, with season 4 being about 1 point head at every spot.
The leading team in season 3 had 57 points, this year it's 58.
6 teams had 50 points at the break last year, this time 5 teams have 50 points.
The playoff line was 32 points in season 3, and it's 33 points in season 4.
3 teams had 30+ points below the playoff line last year, this season 5 teams are out of a playoff spot with 30+.
I'm pretty shocked to see how similar the numbers are, I guess it feels more frustrating to some players this year, but really it's a much more fair system and the changes didn't dramatically change the essence of the game or the results.
Success is a matter of picking every game, and finding a bit of luck here and there. 8 out of 12 non-playoff teams right now can move into a playoff spot with a single hat trick game.

You're only 3 points out of a playoff spot..
Yes, I know. Just stepping out until th fall.
Here's what happened.
FF posted a pick after puck drop for a game and I did not honor the pick as the rules state all picks must be made before puck drop.
It would be unfair if I allowed that pick to stand and other posters may have not made late picks before because they followed the rule.
This is for fun. No need to get upset.

Not upset at all, and I was referring to something completely different. That late choice had nothing to do with my decision and you were 100% correct to disallow that late entry.
If 1 person did not make the playoffs and I knew that I messed up I would have felt horrible.
"Pick can only be changed if original pick is scratched. Replacement must be made in a separate post."
Earlier in the season I changed my pick before puck drop for a player who was not scratched. On a couple of occasions. It was my first year in the NPPG and I glossed over that rule.
Thanks for all you do Jonesey, we are good. I would have done the same thing if we were playing for $1,000,000 or 1,000,000 grains of salt.

My friend can't quite figure out my passion for this game because you don't "win" anything. Just adds to the mystery.

And then they get that look. That puzzled, "is s/he addled?" look... "She's been doing this thing for YEARS...I don't get it."
Wow, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize it was something else. I feel like a big jerk now.
Honestly I don't think I've penalized anyone for changing picks before the puck was dropped.
Please accept my sincerest apologies.

The last thing I meant was to make you or anyone feel bad. I just wanted to do the right thing. I'll likely never meet you but I consider you a friend.
If you remember the games that you did this just tell jonsey to subtract any points for those games and keep going. I'm not the judge/jury by any means but that would be fair by anyone's standards... unlike previous years your pick didnt deprive anyone else of a choice, so just take a zero on those games and you're good, I would think. Unless you switched to a hatty player it couldn't be more than 5 or 6 points

Not worth that much effort, by Jonesey or myself. Good luck to everyone and I'll rejoin next season.
I was trying to figure out why that was a rule to begin with and I couldn’t until you posted this.
That rule was implemented to keep people from claiming a player that they might not have been eligible to pick so someone else couldn’t pick them.
It’s an antiquated rule and I vote to abolish said rule effective immediately.

And since time of last edit is noted by the system I'd suggest that any changes be made by edit of original post. That way Jonesey has only one post by any NPPG participant and the time of the final choice.
If it would help since the time stamp would not be in order of post for any changes maybe put an asterisk in front of a changed choice.

Or maybe if there is a system function to close a thread by time stamp, that way at puck drop the thread closes/is locked.
Given that the exact minute of puck drop varies, maybe for a scheduled 7 pm central (puck drop approx 7:08) maybe just make it 5 minutes after the broadcast begins. So for a 7 pm scheduled start the thread locks at 7:05. So if a NPPG player forgets until the game broadcast begins they still have a small window to join and no one needs to know the exact second of puck drop.

Heads up, I will be out of town from tomorrow until Sunday so no updates will be done until Monday unless I can somehow squeeze one in tomorrow (doubtful).
