I think it's pretty stupid to block off picks like mine. I have the same chances to win as everyone else. It's a strategy, and it looks like it's not really paying off either

There's like 3 people with better scores than you. They used a similar method to yours

Like half the pool are within 5 points of each other. It seems like it's much more important to pick a correct goal scorer than the score of the game. I've only had the correct score once so far

I'm with cratic here. We shouldn't be penalized for being logical in our picks instead of randomly guessing. We also have to predict when a series will end and the goalscorer. I don't think things are getting skewed much.

Jbell... i dont think thats fair of you. Had he not been sitting in a good position, would we be having this talk now?

My first picks were these exact same as Cratics, before i posted mine i had refreshed the topic and noticed his were nearly the exact same. I didnt want cratic thinking i copy him so i changed it completely.

If anything, the scoring should be changed before micro managing peoples picks.
