Guys:
I have been participating in Betworks Contest since it's inception. Why does the deadline constantly change? Today the cutoff is 3:00 pm Eastern and 12:00 PDT. Weekdays is always been & 7:00 pm & 4:00 pm. There are EIGHT games being played after your Thursday deadline. There should be some consistency. When I logged on today, I had already missed deadline. I basically partake to support your efforts. I know you need participation to attract sponsors.Early deadlines on weekends is understandable due to amount of day games. Anyway, this is just my opinion.What would be your reaction, if your boss told you after arriving to work at 8:00 am, that work started at 5:00 am; & where were you.
My picks; if you follow the logic:
Chisox +128
Detroit +183
Anaheim -118 Over 11

Its been the same all contest. When the majority of the games begin before 7...the deadline is earlier.

You are contradicting your own statement. Six games were played before the deadline. EIGHT games were played after the deadline. In reality, why is there a deadline at all? All posts are time dated & with only one game left ie: ( tonite Seattle/Oakland), somebody in theory could make 3 plays on the last game. I'm not trying to be unreasonable. Most people that participate can't stay attached to the computer and oddball changes all day long. Again TODAY'S DEADLINE WAS NOON PDT. Some people had not gone to lunch at that point. Again, I appreciate your work. You will; however, lose contestants,if you don't apply some consistent & logical administrative principles.

Once again the Majority of the games began before 7 PM EST. There are 6 games scheduled for after 7:00 and 8 ae already finals.

These have been the rules all season. It has been consistent.

I am sorry. If you feel you have to drop out. Then do so.

My dropping out was never an issue until you brought it up. I'm not even in the running. So I really have nothing at stake. CONSISTENCY & MAJORITY seem to be the misunderstood terms. On Saturday, July 19 there were Eight games played before or at 12:05pm . There were Seven games played at or after 4:05 pm. According to your consistency the deadline should have been noon PDT, but it wasn't! It was 4:00 pm PDT. This is very easy to follow & I know you are a bright guy. The $500.00 for winning the contest is inconsequential. That is a 1/2 unit for everyone I know. Just get it right for those, that dedicate the time to help you.

"Just get it right for those, that dedicate the time to help you."

Excuse me?

I should get it right for the people that dedicate the time to help me?

What are you talking about?

I am the one that dedicates my time for the people in the forum to have a good time!

Get real!

Again, if you read, I have applauded you for the time you put in! Everyone, including me appreciates it. Getting back to the original point=MAKE THE DEADLINES CONSISTENT= or you will here this complaint coming in the future; AGAIN. (ie

Coach Gruden I'm sorry your team is just a little late. Didn't you get the memo? Yes, we moved the kickoff up 4 hours and your Bucs forfeited today's game. Sorry Coach!
Hopefully you are well aware of your wedding ceremony's starting time! Otherwise your fiance may cancel, because of your tardiness.
