ACCbbs Basketball Pickem (Time to Join)
For the college basketball enthusiasts on ACCbbs...

ACCbbs Hoops Pickem...?

On the heels of what's turning out to be a successful third ACCbbs Pickem, would you like to create a "conference season" ACCbbs Hoops Pickem...?

I would like a challenge pick'em. Maybe a bowl pick'em. I wouldn't be interested in an entire basketball season one personally.

I'd be in favor of it. Though pickers would have to get there picks in the day you put up that weeks picks because of games being played pretty much every day.

I'd be up for a season long basketball challenge. I would limit it to just ACC conference games to not be too overwhelming.

If we did it, I'd also recommend posting games a few weeks in advance. In basketball you often don't have a line anyway until a day or two before the game, and this would allow someone to sign in every two weeks for example and pick the games over the next 10-14 days. That way you don't have to make it a near daily deal to avoid missing games.

So, I've addressed the low-hanging fruit -- an ACC/B1G Challenge Pickem
http://sportsfan.decro.net/pickem/3/slate/1

That's the page we can use if we're interested.


---

For a season long hoops pickem:

- I would prefer to start it in January (conference season)
- I would prefer to select 4-5 games a week, primarily weekend games (but negotiable).

I'm open to ideas -- feel free to PM me with thoughts.

Technically, Saturday-Monday, but yeah.

The resulting question would be regarding the first Duke/Carolina game, as it's on Wednesday -- yes/no?

RE: Pickem Question for the board (hoops related)
Weekend games would be manageable. I'm not opposed to a few weekday exceptions, although with those I'd just list any weekday games we're picking together with weekend games from the prior weekend. That way people are less likely to miss them.

I took at look at Louisville's schedule and all 5 Card games against Duke/UNC/UVA are on weekends, so I think most of the premier games are on Saturdays.

Sound good?

1) Duke/Carolina #1
...

Here are the schedules for the conference schools:

http://sportsfan.decro.net/teams/ncaam/louisville

For Louisville I propose:

1/10- UofL @ UNC
1/17- Duke @ UofL
1/25- UofL @ Pitt
1/31- UNC @ UofL
2/7- UofL @ UVA
3/7- UVA @ UofL

Those are all weekend matchups where both teams are pre-season top 6 selections.

If we're looking for an occasional weekday game, potentials are:

2/11- Pitt @ UofL
2/18- UofL @ Syracuse

Both of those are all matchups of teams picked in the top 6.

Any chance we can open the ACC/Big Ten Challenge pick 'em up to the Big Ten BBS? I think that could be fun having all of us doing that one.

RE: ACCbbs Basketball Pickem (Time to Join)
Hey folks, me again...

ACCbbs Basketball Pickem - 2015

I've started to add some games to the ACCbbs Basketball Pickem, and while 4 players are nice, more is better -- especially for the hoops fans (re: Louisville) on the board.

The first set of games begin with the first "real" weekend of ACC action.

For those who played the Football Pickem: reply in this thread to indicate interest and I'll add you.

For those who are new to our Pickem party: PM me with your email address and I'll add you that way.

I clicked the link to join this pickem and it appeared to add me. When I go to the first slate of games I don't have the ability to make selections though. I'm not quite sure if they aren't available to everyone yet or if I need a final approval to join. Thanks!
