CarolinaHuddle Pick'em - Week 3 (READ ME)


UpstatePanther

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! 

So the first two weeks have brought up some issues I didn't consider beforehand, and I was slack and didn't post the thread early enough either week. I won't go over last week's results, because I'm gonna reset the pool this week. Think of the past two weeks as a "preseason" for our Pick'em while I figured out what kind of rules and processes to abide by. 

1) I will try to have this posted by Tuesday morning at the latest every week. Hopefully by Monday night after each MNF. 

2) This thread will be locked after kickoff of the first game of the week. No further entries will be allowed. Edits will be allowed until the thread is locked.

3) I will take a screenshot of every entry, every week. Editing after the thread is locked will result in disqualification that week. Because I want to participate too, I will post my own picks in a separate comment in case I need to edit the OP for any reason. 

4) Because we've had two game ties in as many weeks, I've tried to think of a way for ties to not count against people. Instead of marking it wrong like I did the past two weeks, I'll count it as half-right much like the NFL counts a tie as half a win. Chances are I won't have to worry about this at all the rest of the season, but I wanted to establish the provision regardless. Oh, if you correctly pick a tie you will also receive a Power Point just like the Weekly Winner. Kudos for correctly picking a tie!

5) I will still do the "winner take all" Power Point each week. I think it adds an interesting twist, and could help avoid ties in the Huddle Pick'em standings at the end of the season. Rule is simple: you win the week, you get an extra win added your ratio at the end of the season.  If there is no clear winner, no Power Point will be awarded that week. The best way to compete for this Power Point is to provide a Monday Night line. Tell me how many points will be scored in MNF. Power Points can accrue so there's incentive to be a winner each week ;)

6) I'm sorry but I cannot accept new participants after this week. I do NOT care if 60 Huddlers get in on the action this week. I can handle it. Get your picks in while you can. Keep up with it. See the next bullet for WHY you should keep up with it each week. What I can't do is allow people to hop in whenever they like and not post whenever they like. It's not fair to those who DO participate every week if I allow new participants each week. And I'm putting my own skin in the game, so I have to ensure this is fair:

8) To drum up interest, I will personally hand the winner of this little friendly competition a $50 Amazon Gift Card. 

9) Instead of a playoff, we'll just go to the end of the actual playoffs and let the results do the talking. 

10) I need a volunteer to help me verify the picks every week. I'm a fallible human being and for fairness, I just want an extra set of eyes on the results. Someone willing to help?

Alrighty, if y'all think of other tweaks do let me know. I'm always open to suggestions!

^ @L-TownCat bro dont quote her post that makes it really confusing, just copy and paste it. also if you lock a thread can you edit post's after its locked? if so then you will have to actually screenshot the picks because someone could pull a quick one. Going to do mine now but will be editing a couple times until kick off Thursday.

    • This is a great episode I am soo excited for this season 😀
    • Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets
    • At this point, I only care what he does in 2025.
