Golden Picks Contest Q&A
Anyone playing the Golden Picks Contest can provide a quote for the contest’s weekly leaderboard. (Yes, they look a bit like epitaphs.) A couple of people this week have posed questions, which I thought I would answer here rather than in private messages. It may be that the questions were simply meant to be rhetorical but you never know.
Dex, who had the top score in the NBA category two weeks ago (Jason was disqualified - no one really knows why), asks: “Eventually, do we get money or something from this or is this another useless talent like my ability to tell when my cat is lying to me?”
We’ll be giving out small prizes for the weekly contests soon. In the meantime, it’s good to practice. Plus, the NBA weekly game picks will be used as the tie-breaker for the NBA Playoffs Pick’em Contest. I also think being able to read your cat’s mind must have monetization potential, you just have to think harder.
bucksox, currently this week’s NHL games leader, asks: “why does the week begin and end tuesday?”
Monday night football. I know it’s not football season, but we like to plan ahead around here. That, and weekends tend to be a little slow on Ballhype — apparently a lot of sports fans do their web surfing on company time — so we want to let people get back into the office on Monday, check their picks and change them if they want before midnight.
That wraps up the Q&A. If you have any others, you can send them to me directly, use the contact us form, or just ask the leaderboard.
