Contest Basketball Prediction Contest: Bulls at UCF

This is not a huge deal but before this gets out of hand, I think we need to address it.

I don't know why some people are putting "Yetna X or player B if Yetna does not play"-- that does not seem how this is supposed to work. Part of the prediction is knowing who is playing-- and yeah-- USF is making it a "game time" decision with him each time but it seems unfair to let people hedge their guesses by allowing them to put this down. And is it just not playing or the fact that they dressed for the game but never went in-- does that matter. I think this opens a large can of worms over what is supposed to be a simple contest.

Care to weigh in your official ruling on this situation @Brad ? We had one guy do it last game and I asked then but still no word on how to handle this. I mean-- hell-- if you are going to let it stand, everyone will start putting in if/then clauses in the contest. "If USF wins 3 points, otherwise UCF wins 4 points" has about the same weight in my book. Well a bit more extreme but still-- players should be limited to making their pick and sticking with it.

That is not allowed.  You pick one name and one name only that can be changed prior to the published (scheduled) game time.  

So does that mean I can't pick USF to win unless ucf scores more points than we do?   Asking for a friend

This is a tough game. I hate "voting" for UCF.

If there is one thing I have learned about AAC referees this season-- it is that they tend to favor the home field advantage. UCF is a solid enough team on it's own and has plenty of senior leadership. I think we have a chance at beating them and I hope we do. But even with (if he plays?) Yetna at full strength, I see this as a tough game for the squad. Hope they get them anyway-- they are capable but it will take the type of effort on the boards we saw last game from Durr et al.

Go Bulls-- and sorry to pick against especially against this opponent.
