Deadline for picks is prior to tip-off but not later than 5PM

Please check & make sure your pick is included in the summary after the deadline.
​

Here are The Rules if you have any questions. Sorry, we're not taking any new participants. And for current participants, please note that you must make a pick at least once every three weeks to remain in the competition.

Please use the colon after your moniker ... I use a macro to enter your picks on a spreadsheet and the macro relies on the colon to get it properly entered.

Today's games and spreads -- please remember that picks are due by tip-off or 5 PM, whichever is earlier. Also, if the game starts at 10PM (EST) or later, chances are the standings will be delayed to the following day.

PPD Standings after 02/02 & 02/03 Games

Here are the standings after Tuesday's and Wednesday's games.

Art - My "system" is probably a half step more formal than the "throw a dart" method. I have a preference for some of the lower visibility games and conferences; tend to fade certain teams (unless it's a terrible spread); and then I'll reverse myself. No system but it's working (at least better than flipping a coin ...
