Category: Zone BBS Suggestions and Feedback
I suggest maybe adding more colleges for the College sports on sports challenge. I think New Mexico should be represented such as all of our college sports teams. New Mexico has 4 colleges with football and basketball. 1. The University of new Mexico, 2. New Mexico State University, 3. Eastern New Mexico University, and 4. Western New Mexico University. Thanks
You have got to be kidding!
I think having the top 25 ranked teams is enough for us to pick and certainly enough for the zone team to provide. Keeping up with sports isn't the only thing they have to do with their lives.
The short version is if we add one extra team everyone will want there team added and that makes the work load impossible. The long version follows. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to enter a pool for the top 25 teams with 19 games Looking at the current ESPN schedule there are about 50 games which means it would take around an hour to enter all the games. That doesn't include 1AA teamd, devision two teams, or division three teams. If you added all those in you'd be looking at probably 5 hours of entering games minimum. Then you'd have to spend another 5 hours entering winners. Even if all the games could be entered would you want pools based on confrence, devision, one massave pool, or some combination of all those? I feel your pain it's only been in the last couple weeks that my school has been ranked so my advice is hope your school can make the top 25. I will also create a pool for the college bowl games when the time comes. I'm considering division 1AA playoff pools as well but not sure. College basketball is also hard to do since teams play up to 30 games a season and are every day not clumped on the weekend. I'm considering an NCAA turniment pool but don't know if that will be possible since the turn around times are so short between rounds so am not promissing anything.
Jared, I'm just glad they found a sucker...er...a nice guy to keep up with the college pool.
I agree with Becky at least we have the pool back. We can't have every team.!
Jared: you might want to just consider the weekend games so that there is both some consistancy and you don't have to keep up with so many of them. That's what I did with the NHL pool, which will be returning in January after the NFL season is over. I'm glad to see you stepping up and doing something with the college pool, it's just too bad none of the other cl's would do it.
Oh the weekend games would be fine, that way you could have more time and not be so rushed!
