i was originally listed as 6-2-1, an obvious error, missing one game. now, unless i am blind, i don't see my name in the standings.

i also see #70, martin, with a 5-5-1. is that it?

pep--you must have missed taking a game. i played the contest but purposely only played 8 games to see if it would include me in the standings. it didn't.

the software allows you to play opposite sides of the same game. that's why 2 people had 11 picks.

i forgot......the contest required a minimum of 10 picks to qualify. that's why you and i are not listed.

but wait, i went into another standings database showing a 7-2-1, so perhaps that is not the case.

check it out.

2 separate areas, pepin. maybe you didn't enter the contest. there is no record of any contest picks from you.

by the way....nice pickin

i don't want to keep dragging this, but....

what do you mean i did not enter the contest?
are you serious? my best week this year?

do you see where this is leading to? a question, dispute. what back up is there to settle it?

example: when you place a bet offshore thru the net, you get a pre-confirmation and then a confirmation, like, this is what we recorded, is this correct? then by you acknowledging it, it comes back done and print ready.

now, what i think happened is that my record was fixed to correct the 6-2-1, entered as 7-2-1, but all the fields for the correction were not filled out, because on details, the field shows as N/A, which may be the one that triggers the standings you posted. there.

i don't know how serious this may be for you in the future, but to show one record in one place and another one in another place, within the same data base, seems like a prescription for trouble on something more important.

aside from that, should not there be a warning, just like we get when a post or reply is not properly filled out? like, too many picks, or not enough picks? i believe this is fairly standard with other automatic contests.

well, whatever.

there are 2 areas.
"make picks" http://207.228.127.83/picksport.php3?sportID=-1

"contests" http://207.228.127.83/contests.php3

entering picks for one has nothing to do with the other. plays have to be entered separately for both.

any time you enter picks, you are taken to a screen listing the picks you made. maybe print it out?

only a couple of things could have happened here. you didn't specifically enter picks for the contest or you entered less than 10 picks for the contest. the only possible things that could have happened. i can't imagine the system forgot you and remembered all the other players.

if you go to "my account"
then "check my stats"
then "details"
you will see every pick you have made, but not for the contest.

i guess i can get the contest stats but you don't have any or you picked less than 10 games.

a real dispute can be handled because all plays will be in the system somewhere. i just don't know how to access that area yet. i'll learn though.

if you want to CYA in contests, i guess you should print out the selections after you make them.

i hope this helps?

we have the 'regular' monitoring area and a 'contest' area where we will be running many different contests. all these records will have to be kept separately. i can't imagine any other way to do it.

finally. two separate categories.

yes, i do see the 7-2-1. i will stay with picks only and skip the contest which i have no idea where it is, anyway, as it comes out with just the format, but no info when i hit the "contest" button.

and i was all set to open a t-shirt account with you.

sorry for the confusion, pep. i didn't understand what you were saying.

you can't see anything under 'contests' right now because there isn't one available to enter

thanks for the patience.
