MLB 1st Half Contest Week #2 Day 2 April 13th

[vondie]

While you posted 6 plays, 2 of them finished above -155. I left you a note in the thread the next day stating which games closed over the allotted price, but you never made another pick. I am waiting on Monte's response to see how to deal with that because there are others who did the same as you.

This is why the standings have not been posted yet. I want to do it in one shot including yesterdays picks but can not until I clarify how we are handling the situation above with Monte. Sorry they are being delayed guys.

gotcha....my bad....I wasn't checking the thread daily. I'll stay on top of it more.

I have a suggestion that might make grading the contest easier. After the start of all games or the next morning post the final (current) lines. Hi-light in red the games that closed greater than -150.

Team Current
901 new york mets -138
904 cincinnati reds -157
906 atlanta braves -183
908 st. louis cardinals -132
910 colorado rockies -127
911 san francisco giants -120
914 arizona diamondbacks -152
915 chicago cubs -134
918 detroit tigers -117
920 cleveland indians -135
921 tampa bay rays -155
924 chicago white sox -148
925 new york yankees -127
927 boston red sox -168
930 oakland athletics -107

Also, during the week the contestants should post all their picks for the week including the closing line and result. Leaving blank their unused picks for the current week. Using the same constant format for all contestants.

ie...
1. 4/12 Rockies -127 L
2. 4/12 Padres +110 W
3.
4.
5.

It is easy enough for me to keep track of who everyone picks each day. Everyone just needs to know that if the line of a game they picked was close to being over -150 they should look and see what it closed at. We are all old enough that I think we can know what we picked and how close it was and we can all check to ensure. I have posted each day the lines people took that went over the previous night. No need for everyone to do their own record keeping... thats what I am here for!

Create HTML table. If you don't know I'll do it later.

I have not a clue how to do it. If you would be able to kind of break the steps out so I can do it from now on that would be awesome. Thanks Frank!
