I've set up the BracketMaker contest again. Picks locked last Thursday, and you can now check your standings (when they are entered tonight or tomorrow) and follow that the rest of the way.

Predict the 2005 Playoffs (http://www.5atexasfootball.com/stateplayoffs.htm)

Good Luck!

should we register with our real names or our forum names or both?

at least one correction to this bracket that I know of - Cy Falls is playing Memorial - not Tomball (which is still listed on this bracket).

KT2000

It's Cy Falls-Memorial on the official bracket and bracketmaker. I deleted Tomball from the projected brackets because of what happened last weekend. They've never been on the official bracket or bracketmaker.

I recommend using your forum name on the picks so we know who it is, but you can use something else.

Maybe I should make a lot of crappy picks and put Wide's name on it! :p

I was a bit of a homer in my picks...i don't really care.

Thanks KT - my browser was picking up the projected brackets from week 9 - not sure what was up with that so I went to Explorer and it came up. sorry about that.

No problem with believing in your team. I like Garland's ability to generate turnovers as well as run the ball. If the Owls can keep some balance to the offense, and continue to be opportunistic on defense, I wouldn't put it past them to make some noise. JT is a worthy opener and probably looking at Carter in round 2.

You can click back on the link to the D2 prediction page, and you should see your picks. Also, you can access your picks from the leaderboard page on the bracketmaker site.

Instead of being CLFalcon2006 my brackets are under user 140419, is that ok or should I do something?

rancher52
11-06-2005, 06:30 PM
I notice when I pull up my bracket it says "Predict It!" in the upper left corner. If I click on other user numbers in the leaderboard section, the name of that person shows up. Have I done something wrong?

CLFalcon2006 -- when I looked at your user number your name showed up. If you look at mine 140405 I bet you will see my name "Rancher52". Let me know if you do.

Just wait a lil longer and it should arrive. If not, just try a new email.

As far as the user(number) names...that's fine as long as you know who you are. I believe you can edit it to make your name show up instead of the user____. Just click on your picks or view the links at the top and see if it will let you edit the account you created. I'd imagine it would.

12-5a the toughest bracket state wide...Mesquite had a huge run last season, why can't they have that same run this year,

Mesquite division 1 champs, and the Longview Lobos, division 2 champs and national champs

A little wishfull thinking there ;) I think Rowlett is an overall better team than Mesquite this season, and I think they beat em' first round...

Your name came up on the bracket after I clicked on the user name on the leaderboard, so i guess everything is ok.

anyone who would like to have their call sign rather than their name or number can do so rather easily. on the bracket maker home page, click on create/edit then on the edit registration info marker.

Hey, KT. G Ball is messing my D2 bracket up. I had them picked to win some games, but I won't pick Alvin. Is there any way we can get back in the D2 picks thread without being penalized for being late?

KT2000
11-10-2005, 01:56 PM
If any of you want to redo picks based on Ball's DQ, you may delete your D2 bracket picks by clicking back on the Pick Division 2 link on our playoffs page. Then, you can reselect. If you do this within the next four hours bracketmaker won't tab your picks as being late.

Thanks.

I even switched some other stuff up when I went back in.

KT how do I change my user name, it is a number for DI and DII? IT was correct for DI before I did the DII brackets. My log in is the same as my user name on the board. Don't know how it got messed up! Real computer savvy here!!

KT2000
11-10-2005, 03:36 PM
I'm not sure why it gives some people that user(number) for their name and others have just the name they pick. I always had KT2000TX on there and registered three years ago so I can't remember how I did it.

Pull up one of your Division picks and see if you can edit your user info anywhere on the page. There might be a link.

KTHoC
11-10-2005, 04:08 PM
I tried that and it still had user # on leader board. I 'll mess with it tonight if it can be done after the deadline.

Yes, click back on the Division links on the playoff page...login on bracketmaker and have at it.

lonny23
11-14-2005, 09:23 PM
How are you going to work the late picks into your winners in D2? I still show up as a late pick, but I did it before your deadline that you adjusted. One guy came on there real late and got all 32 right, just like a few other latecomers got like 29. I'm asking because I'm 1 point behind Champ97.

reed35
11-15-2005, 05:40 PM
How much will i lose changing GBall now? I just read this that we can change this. I know i will be late, but it may be better than leaving Alvin in my brackets.

This is odd?? I could not find my picks and then i noticed i am almost at the very end in div2, not because of the score but it said i predicted late (which i did not). It does not matter what your score is (mine was 22) they have you at the end if it says you picked late?? confusing?? I picked before the deadline so i do not get it?? It has me correct in div1 but not div2?? oh well!!

KT is going to have to look at that in D2. I asked if we could change our picks because of G Ball and he said to do it by such and such time last week. I was before his new deadline and after the old deadline. I think he'll go by that 2nd deadline and that would put me one behind Champ97. It's the guys like the one who got 32 right that won't have their scores count because they were after the games and not before them.

how will the winner be determined? do all games have equal value, or do each successive round carry more weight? there could easily be someone pick all 8 semifinalists not win in the equal weight situation, or vice versa.

1 point for Round 1, and subsequently 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 points.

They just have to go back to count some of the late picks for D2 that were done before any games were played because of the Galveston Ball issue.

I wish i had seen we could change GBall before it was to late. My D2 bracket would look much better.

We have amazing fans, and that's brought us a heck of a lot farther!:)
