Default too late to enter contest?

I guess I just found out (the hard way) that picks most be entered before Saturday morning even if there is no games on Saturday, huh? Best of luck to everyone who got in... I guess I'll see you punters next week....

First week with no games on Saturday. No announcement to make picks earlier this week.

I believe this is a no brainer.

Unfortunately, that is correct ...

Contestants must have their selections posted no later than 11:00 a.m. (ET) each Saturday.

Please tell me your not serious.. There was no annoucement made and I am sure plenty of people figured they would be able to enter their picks late tonight or early tomorrow..

This week was different than that of weeks past cause it's the first w/o games on Saturday..

yes im serious are you 5 years old? should they hold your hand and make sure you get your picks in? get over it its a free contest that pays well to the winners personally i could care less if you get in but to think since they didnt warn you everyone should get a free pass is crazy. seems to me 187 people knew to get picks in

No games til tomorrow... So the contest is going to close 25 hours before any games? HAHA this is ridiculous if it's actually true but I'm positive this will be changed..

would you care to wager on it? one thing about the SBR is they run a tight ship when it comes to contest rules which is good keeps everyone in line the way it is supposed to be

and yes i would be smacking myself if i failed to get in a free contest that takes 1 minute of your time to post in

and another reason why it wont be changed or shouldnt be changed the closer to kickoff the better odds you get it wouldnt be fair to others that submitted picks on time now would it?

BigDaddy turn off your computer now.

187 contestants this week compared to 207+ every week before that. Look at the last few weeks always over 200 contestants.. C'mon dude.. A dropoff of about 10%.

Case closed dude.. Less contestants this week than weeks previous cause like me they figured a contest wouldn't be closed 25 hours before the games start.

I'm for the people man and you just dissed 20 or so people who couldn't get their picks in this week..
