	Put an end to popups!

Week 1 is always a notoriously unpredicatable week - there's usually a couple of unexpectedly one sided blow outs for a start...

Yeah... week one is always a riot. You can usually count on the person that knows the least about football to win the office pool

Oooh! That's a low blow, Ming!

As Al Davis always says, "Just win, Baby!"

Don't matter how...

I'm just saying I can't be arsed wasting more than the most cursory time on WK1 - maybe it'll come back to haunt me, but right now I ain't losing any sleep...

I admit I'd be more prepared if I hadn't been frozen out of Sandbox this year!

OK, what am I doing wrong?

1. Checked sportline and changed my Name to J-Rabbit (with TRU for Team Rush).

2. Went to View Picks page to see that my name was accepted and correct. No problem.

3. Wend to Make Picks page and got this message:

ERROR:
The system did not recognize your team. Please contact customer support.

Wazzup with that??? Has anyone here had that experience? How do I fix it?

Needless to say, I did not contact custome support. Came here instead, cuz I gotta get back to work. Will check back later.

Might just be a temporary site problem. I have experienced it before but when I went back in everything was fine.

It's probably not a good idea to wait till the last minute to enter your picks, in case there is a problem.

Just keep trying to "make picks". I got the same message when I was on there and it fixed itself.
VLAD! Pick! I can't be chastising Mobius if you are the slacker!

(Vlad is probably asleep in his new giant leather Assomatic).

I can't even get back in to make picks.

Tell you what guys, if you like, I'll do a manual total of it instead, I don't trust CBS, and I can't seem to even get in.
The scoring would be simple:
+2 for win
nothing for tie (push)
-1 for loss
Failure to pick game is LOSS.

Let me know, but be quick, we only have one more day before kickoff of 2002 season.

I tell ya what. If I can beat Imran in Sandbox this week, the Sneakmeister at Yahoo, and Ming in Pick 'Em this week, the combination of events will make me giddy with happiness.
Kind of like the Cowboys. They can lose all the rest of the games, as long as they beat the Redskins.

As both of you ignored my message, I'll take that as a no.

Oh well, at least I have my office picks.

I just went in and had no problems viewing picks.
And it does seem to show that you haven't made your's yet.

Ming, please don't wait till the last minute. AND ADD YOUR TEAM INITIALS.

Chris...you should post your picks here to make it official if you are still having a hard time.

There is still plenty of time. And you're the one that's claiming he can't play. If you can't get in by the deadline, that's something else. Don't concede yet.

I couldn't get in for two days, I didn't give up. I tried some different paths in till I got one to work. Unfortunately, I can't remember the sequence that did work, but now that I have the cookies right, I'm not having any problems.

I never got it to work from work until i got it to work at home and now it works at work.
(damn that sounded stupid)

Which is one reason why I've been ragging my brother not to wait to the last minutes.

As of now, only 50% of the people registered have made their picks. It's kind of disheartening.

I'm not one to give up, and I've never been a fan of those that do.

Chris-- Sounds like it must be a firewall or something...hmmm....maybe a link will get you through?

Not sure how far you've been making it, but maybe this link will at least get you to the sign-in part and you can proceed from there?


I often have a hard time logging into the site...have to re-type the address manually and hit go...usually works then.

Yes, when I tried to use the id i created for march madness from work, it wouldn't recognize it or let me register. From home, (after some screwing around) it welcomed me like an old friend. And now it works from work also.
