Make your picks before playoffs begin Saturday. Dassit.

I'm in, but I can't figure out how to make my selections

Just click on the team logos to choose who will win in a particular matchup, then it asks you in how many games...

it's Flash, which you should have installed already... pretty simple.

I'm in like Flint!

I see a nice set of pom poms in there, too

I hope I have it set up right. I'm cofoooosed!! I guess we'll know when games starts if my pom poms are visible or not.

Well, I made my picks.

And I have a stiff neck and I'm dizzy :rolleyes:

Talk about poorly designed sites. Simple brackets wouldn't have been good enough?

Ok. Im in.

We're a sick bunch. JG sets up a league, and 50 minutes later we have 5 players.

Make that 6 in 55 minutes -- who's imasoldier?

I can't figure out how to see everyone else's picks. Is it me?

Huh, I guess you're right... that's dumb! I guess in a later round it'd be less of a pain to post our picks...

When I go to the "League Standings" and click on any team but my own, I can see their picks. When I click on my team, I get nothing.

Is it me??? :rolleyes:

I only see my own picks, regardless of whose team I click on... weird.

Some early returns are in...

Round 1

1 DB 50
2 PL 40
2 TM 40
2 IS 40 <-- who's imasoldier??
3 CC 30
3 JG 30
3 SP 30

Woo hoo! I'm 20 points from 1st place. Then again, I'm tied for last.

CC - I'm going with "I'm in 3rd Place" -- in a couple days I'll probably change it to "I'm in...FVCK!!"

In a couple days I'll probably change it to, "But I'm a chick"!

Round 1 (Update)

1 PL 90
2 DB 80
2 TM 80
3 JG 70
3 SP 70
3 IS 70 <-- who's imasoldier??
4 CC 50 <-- "But she's a chick"

It's ok. I'm back in the comfy confines of the basement. Boy, the last person here left it a mess!

That'd be me, you, and Spike -- the two of us just decided to move out. Nothing personal. But who's this soldier roommate we have now??

I just wanna know which one of you left behind the blow up doll and leather whip? And...can I keep them?

Come on, Geoff. You can't look at Soldier's IP address?

Err uhh... that must've been Spike's... yeah, that's who's it was... yup... not mine... [whistling / walking away slowly]

Not on NBA's web site...

"Who's I'm a soldier".? That's going to be the most popular question next to "Who's FS' Pop"?

How does the scoring work in this game?

(I know, I know... I could look it up... Just wondering if someone knew off the top of their head. )

I haven't got a clue, I didn't pay attention. And I'm playing.

Off the top of my head...
