Right now, I'm running an MLB Picks pool (which our Matt Cooke is kicking butt at right now) at another site and I am required to keep an updated standings page. I created the table using an HTML editor, then upload it to the administrators server using Core FTP Lite. It's simple now.

Here's the example.

Here are the totals after 2 days (8 games) of the prelim round:

Ferret - 92
slappy - 94
avs4life - 95
Timmy - 95
Insider - 93
JR - 93
Matt - 93
Canucklehead - 93

So far everyone has been batting 100% except for the Kazakhstan/Germany game where only I and a4l picked the winner.

When Ferret recoups from his weekend of birthday alcohol poisoning I'm sure he will have the spreadsheet posted.

There hasn't been any results posted which really sucks. I'll update the scores tonight or tomorrow morning for the prelim round and make sure they get posted (either by Ferret or Matt).

I assume that the original picks will carry forth throughout the entire tourney, JR.

Guys, I apologize deeply for my absense this week. It has been an unusually chaotic week at work, I did not forsee this happening or I wouldn't have taken on the pool. Once again, I apologize and thanks for being patience and not sending too many threatening emails to me....(aside from Slaps...

)

That said, I do have to go in tommorow but as God is my witness I will be doing the whole update and page tommorow evening.

Cheers....le Ferret

Nothing shows up for me on that page.

a4l · 5-10-05, 5:35 PM

Me neither but somehow I am in the lead.

Madferret · 5-11-05, 1:04 PM

Ok, first of all I completly dropped the ball on the original format. The way the RR and Qualification Rounds are played in this tournament really didn't make the format I set up feasible and it rightly turned into a nightmare. I apologize to all of you, and especially Slappy who's time I wasted the most as spreadsheet guy. Slap, berate me all you want on MSN tonight...

That said, now that the QF's are set and the filler teams are gone, we can still pull this off.

Firstly, here are the QF's:

May 12

Czech Republic vs. USA 10:15 AM East
Russia vs. Finland 2:15 PM East

Canada vs. Slovakia 10:15 AM East
Sweden vs. Switzerland 2:15 PM East

So we have 8 teams obviously. Using the same format, assign each team a numeric, and you will be given pts based on that team winning. So for instance, you believe Canada is going to win all 4 games and win the IIHF Cup, you assign the 8. If they lose to the Slovaks, you're pooched and will get points for whatever numeric value you assigned Slovakia. Keep in mind that the semi's will go High Seed / Low Seed in terms of winners of the QF's.

The site is roughly done, and tonight I will be tinkering with it again and adding the Playoff tree etc. I ask for all picks PM'd to me or Slap by 9:30 AM Thursday morning, and I will then make everyones picks available to see online here once the deadline pasts, and on the website in the evening when I return from work.

When making your picks and assigning each team their numeric value, keep in mind the parody of the teams, the results of the RR and that in this particular World Championship any Country could take the glory.

Good luck to all!
