September 3, 20214 yr Go here: http://tanmutt.com/surly/login.html If you signed up last year you should just be able to log in. @immamac please pin this incredibly important but not quite as important as Burnt Ends post.
September 3, 20214 yr I'll try to finish the season for the 1st time. The Charlie Strong era took a lot out of me.
September 4, 20214 yr I tried to submit PAIN as my prediction but it wouldn’t go through. Please fix the glitch.
September 4, 20214 yr Are we going to do the annual "donate $25 of pyro's money to someone else" side wager too?

September 4, 20214 yr Having problems logging in. I am too lazy to go see what I predicted in the game week thread. Texas 41Coonasses 20
September 4, 20214 yr @Huckleberry says already a username. And can’t put any password. And can’t reset. Texas 35-20
September 4, 20214 yr Author Don't know on paying. You can post your predictions here to validate your future trash talking, but I probably won't be entering them after the fact. Sorry, hopefully @blacklab can help on any issues.
September 4, 20214 yr on the record here that I'm in for the usual cash entry, if we are going that way.
September 4, 20214 yr Texas 27 - 17 I got into the website but can't put a prediction for this game only the next 2 Edited September 4, 20214 yr by Zepol87

September 5, 20214 yr I was real close. I assume I can enter my prediction once I figure out how to log in. Shit ain’t working.
September 7, 20214 yr I don't think the calculation is working. #1 standings wise had 37-17. There are multiple entries behind that that got less points that had 38-17. The latter should score higher. Also - I had 45-19 and there are entries with 45-24 and 45-21 higher than me with more points. Not sure I can pinpoint the error but the scores aren't right.

Getting the margin of victory wrong has a larger penalty than than getting individual scores wrong. There is a 2 point deduction for each point that the margin is off by (let's call it margin error) whereas there is only a 1 point deduction for each team's score (Texas error/opponent error) The calculation: 200 - (margin error * 2) - (Texas error) - (Opponent error) So 37-17 has a margin error of 0, a Texas error of 1, and opponent error of 1. IOW, 200 - 0 - 1 - 1 = 198 38-17 has a margin error of 1, a Texas error of 0, and an oppenent error of 1: 200 - (2 * 1) - 0 - 1 = 197. 45-24 has a margin error of 1, a Texas error of 7, and an opponent error of 6: 200 - (2*1) - 7 - 6 = 185 45-19 has a margin error of 6, a Texas error of 7, and an opponent error of 1: 200 - (2*6) - 7 - 1 = 180 The margin of error is what is getting you.

Ah okay thanks. I knew there was something weird about how it was calculated. Not sure why it was set up that way but whatever.

September 8, 20214 yr I give up. Even logged out from my browser and requested to reset password and never received an email.
