Yup! Your EPL totals for weeks 1 and 2 will be 5 and TBD (half of the week 2 average) and your 4 lowest weeks will be dropped at the end. For Bundesliga your week 1 total will be 6 with no low week drops.

So what causes these threads to screw up? Does the length of them cause a glitch in the matrix?

Not sure, but how about a thread for the "pick 'ems" and a thread to just talk soccer? Just a suggestion.

Yeah the length and sheer amount of posts messes up the system or something. GTS once tried to archive older threads to fix the issue with the larger threads breaking and while it worked for a bit it came back and kinda worse. So at this point it's just something the large threads like this have to deal with as GTS doesn't even know how to solve it.

But the pick 'ems are discussing soccer and are based in the little community we've built over these threads.

Yeah, I'd probably keep them in the same one. We've gone through 4 soccer threads in the past two years, it's not something that happens all the time, and it's nice to not have to look for two different threads, especially for you...having to run the pick'em this year and all.

Yeah and it's ingrained in our system to know what to look for. Also easier to look for specific posts/discussions. When they are broken up.

Sheer length. We've discussed this on the mod board before. Once a thread gets over about 400 pages you run the risk of a glitch. In the best case scenario, the glitch causes a delayed reaction from the server, so posts take forever to load. (Leads to a lot of double and triple posts from users wondering where their post went) At worst, it makes the thread almost impossible to navigate.
Only real solution is to lock the old thread and start a new one.

How did I get 17 points? I made an utter mess of a number of games in this weekend's slate.
The first 5-6 weeks of the Bundesliga makes zero sense.

You nailed quite a few matches (I believe 2 in Bunds and 1 in EPL the old thread has a record of all the nailed picks).
