Interesting potential twist for this game...

There can be a certain game theory element to this game in waiting until others have made their picks to see what you want to do... Which potentially--especially when we're down to two remaining participants--gives the person who waits to make their pick second an advantage over the one who makes their pick first. Much like CFB overtime where seeing what the opposing offense does before you have to play offense gives you an advantage.

How about in the future, any time the field drops to 4 remaining participants or below, the remaining participants PM their choice to ELA privately? 

ELA will post them publicly before the games once all the picks are in. This way nobody has an advantage due to order of pick.

Yeah, I've done that in the past when we get down to 2.

So let's do that again.

Please PM me your picks

I dont think so

once the 11 oclock games are decided that narrows the scope and really isnt fair

just my opinion

If you picked a noon game, you can't change it after noon, but what is unfair about saying you are limited to picking a team that hasn't kicked yet?
