Given that several of us were upset about no college football pool in the sports challenge this year, I'm wondering why no announcement was made when one was started. I missed the opportunity to vote because I didn't know it was there. Could admins/CL's please remember to announce new features for those of us who care?

Hey Garret, I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at the inconsistency of the staff in making sure there is an announcement for various new things and changes to the site. Sometimes it happens, and sometimes it doesn't. But since I was the one who started a complaint about no college pool this year and an incomplete one last year, and several other people also complained, I figured if they were going to remedy the situation there would have been a big announcement. I do remember seeing one when the first NFL pool was put up, but nothing for the college pool.

It was in the news file Becky. Perhaps you should read it more carefully? I put the pool up on Wednesday, and will probably only do Saturday games again this week. After this week, however, unless someone else starts putting up the college pools, they will not be done. I already do the NFL pool and won't have time to do both with all of my school related responsibilities that really start to kick in next week. The only reason I did last week and will do one again this week is because I know people enjoy them. And, we don't announce the NFL pool on the news file every week, so why should we announce the college football pool? I did put it in the news file last week, but only because it was the first pool for each for the season.

Sports Challenge Update

It's automn, here in the western hemesphere, and that typically means 2 things. School resumes and football season begins. While we can't help you get ready for another grueling semester, we can offer you the first NFL pool where you can win 50000 points. The second week of college football is also now active, and due to its being put up on such short notice, it's worth 100000 points. Enjoy, and good luck!
