    Not to be “that guy” but it’s nearing midnight where I’m at right now and I’m going to have a small window in between getting up and hopping on a flight and I’m not taking a L if the pool isn’t up and running when I wake up.

    We can do whatever we need to do to continue on (skip a round, whatever we need), but if I don’t get my pick in because the pool has been locked for the entirety of today, I’m not down to ship a box as a loser.

    After looking at the site a bit, I’m thinking I know what the issue is. That site has changed since last year to a pay site, and the cost of running a pool our size is $20. I’m thinking Nate set up the site not knowing this, and they’ve now locked it after first round for non payment.


    Why don’t we all beermail him our picks in the interim, and I suggest we all split the cost of the website with a PayPal payment of a couple of bucks each?

    Only issue with that beermail solution is we need the site to not let people know who picks who.

    Hey guy - it’s unlocked, sorry about that. Johnny nailed the reason. If you don’t get your pick in by the deadline, but post here before the start of that game I will manually edit

    Hope that works for everyone and sorry for the hiccup!

    Dont worry about cash. I dont want to hit anyone up after the fact. I'll just use a different hosting site next year.
