If anyone is interested several of us over on the JMU boards are doing a weekly pick em contest. I figured I'd offer it up to you guys as well. Here is the link to the picks: CAA Pick Em and here is a link to the thread on our board: CAA Pick Em

On the last page you have a confidence ranking please list your picks in order of most to least confident. *******ALSO PLEASE MAKE SURE THE NUMBERS START WITH 12 AT THE TOP AND 1 AT THE BOTTOM********* Survey Monkey tries to make 1 at the top and I haven't figured out how to reverse that yet. You get points based off your confidence ranking for correct picks and lose points in the same manner for wrong picks.

I will post the results and a leaderboard over on our thread by Monday evening every week. Late submissions will not receive any credit on picks made for games already started.

Hope to see some of you guys picking!

Thanks! What do I get when I win the whole thing?

Probably an all expense paid trip to Harrisonburg....

I may try it. Just pick the opposite from me and you'll win.

Just for fun. I'll give you a nice pat on the back? So far there's like 40 people playing including several of your Tribe mates (besides Tribal), join the fun.

I'm in.

Tribal can you move this thread to the "Important Thread (sticky)" section, so we can easily find the link to make our picks each week, as well as keep tabs on the leader board and publicly shame those at the bottom of the rankings?

Why, so you can more quickly laugh at my awful picks?

Folks there was some confusion in the JMU boards so to clarify

Rules
1. Pick your winners for every CAA game <b>STRAIGHT UP</b> the spread is only there to help you know who's favorites <br />
<br />
2. Rank the games based on how confident you are that the team you picked will win (most confident at top, least at bottom) <b>AGAIN STRAIGHT UP</b> the spread is only there to help you know who's favorites and by how much since that might effect how confident you are on your pick winning.<br />
<br />
3. Please make sure on the confidence ranking that the numbers on the left are in reverse order (12 at top and 1 at bottom) you will have to manually fix this until I figure out how to do it automatically in Survey Monkey<br />
<br />
SCORING:<br />
<br />
You earn points based off a combination of your picks and confidence in those picks. You LOSE point in the same manner. Points are cumulative and add up over the season. There are weekly winners as well as the season winner (you don't really win anything).<br />
<br />
EXAMPLE:<br />
<br />
My picks:<br />
Delaware<br />
UConn<br />
SBU<br />
NCST<br />
Buffalo<br />
Pitt<br />
RU<br />
Gardner-Webb<br />
JMU<br />
USF<br />
KU<br />
San Diego<br />
<br />
Confidence ranking<br />
<b>JMU </b>(12 pts)<br />
<b>San Diego</b> (11 pts)<br />
<b>USF</b><br />
<b>Kansas</b><br />
<b>Delaware</b><br />
<b>PItt</b><br />
UConn<br />
Buffalo<br />
<b>NC State</b><br />
<b>Stony Brook</b><br />
Gardner-Webb<br />
Richmond (1pt)<br />
<br />
Say I get the ones above in bold right I have 64 points from correct picks and -14 pts from wrong picks I would end up with 50 pts this week.

If you messed up let me know via PM and I'll delete your picks so you can resubmit. Good luck!

Results from Week 1 are posted. Week 2 picks will be open by morning. Starting this week and for the rest of the season I will be closing the picks starting at first kick so no late submissions from now on. It was just too much to try and take those games out of people's picks.

Week 2 results are posted on our board and week 3 is now live: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/caapickemweek3

Also week 4 is now live: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/caapickemweek4

I've noticed lots of folks are missing after week 1 and 2. I have added a question on the front page for email. If you would want to receive an email alert reminding you to pick say Thursday or Friday enter your email and I will send out reminders.

Sorry for the delay week 5 is now live. Was out of town with a family emergency. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/caaweek5

Missing a lot of W&M friends on the weekly picks. With JMU/W&M week at hand, I hope to see a few more of you picking this week so we can burst your bubble Saturday
