If anyone would like to make a pick for tomorrow night's Canelo/Mayweather fight, feel free to do so. Of course, that's assuming we get enough people picking for tomorrow.






"Where have all the players gone..."

 

I will pick Canelo to win the fight versus Mayweather tonight.

As to where the players have gone, it seems as though that once someone has a large lead in the standings then that causes most to lose interest considering that it will be a lot harder to catch up.

Of course, getting colors for 12 wins in a row is something that occurs rarely and maybe that has caused some to not play as much either.

NCAA Division I football: Pick The Winner: (1) Alabama at (6) Texas A&M

 

I am thinking of changing the rules in order to make it slightly easier to win colors (say 7 wins a row to get 48 hours worth of colors), and a possible new way to win colors, but I'm not sure if any of that would matter at this point.

Selections for September 16th-September 22nd


This week's sponsors:




The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce/Historic Sign Trust


Darth McClain, xblackout, MarcusP2, DarthIntegral, Juliet316, benknobi1, darth_gersh, RX_Sith, PRENNTACULAR, s65horsey






Rules changes/new ways to win colors are in effect, beginning this week. They are as follows:


-Instead of the traditional 12 correct in a row mark to win at least 48 hours of colors, the mark is now set at 9. Also, there is now no limit to how long you can win colors (ie: adios to the old 'up to 7 days' rule). What remains: More hours (24) will be added to your allotted total after each ensuing 3rd consecutive correct pick (from 9 to 12, to 15, to 18, etc...). Obviously you don't get your colors until after your streak ends.


-Independent of the win/loss/tie record, there's a new daily form of winning colors: The 3 pick bonzana! Choose any 3 picks for a given day, and if you get them all correct, you win 24 hours of colors. There's no limit for consecutive bonzana wins. If you already have colors (either due to this game or something else), then that allotment gets extended by 24 hours (duh). You can make a bonanza pick along with your daily single pick, as what happens with the bonanza doesn't effect your daily/normal standings, streaks, etc.


-The 24 hour color prize for having the most ties in a month remains, and it's the only prize in this game in which I choose what colors you get. And of course, the 48 hour allotment of colors for having the most wins in a month will remain.


Why not spice up things a bit? Either this will work, or fail miserably... there's no middle ground.

RX_Sith

Because of today's sickening/tragic shooting massacre at the D.C. Navy Yard, that game has been postponed until tomorrow (as part of a day/night doubleheader). Obviously you can retain this pick for tomorrow for either of the two games, or if you see this post in time, choose from the other picks for today. Also, I hope you're able to get your colors sometime this week.
