Just want to let you know that the Week 7 Standings will be late. The late finish to the Edmonton/Calgary game on Sunday means I'm off to bed as soon as it's over. Not sure when I'll get a chance to get the standings done, as that's a busy week for me at work; but I'll try and get them up as soon as I can.
The standings are posted here.
Here are the games for Week 7:
B.C. @ Saskatchewan
Hamilton @ Winnipeg
Montreal @ Toronto
Edmonton @ Calgary
To join in, just start making picks. You can join in any time, but the later you join, the more difficult it will be to catch up.
To make your picks, reply to this post with your predicted winners. This is a straight-up win/loss pool; point spreads are not taken into account.
To be considered for any game, your pick for that game must be made PRIOR to the scheduled kickoff time. Even if your pick is made one minute late, or the kickoff is delayed, if it's after the scheduled kickoff time, it's late. No exceptions.
To change your picks, post another reply to the thread. Do NOT edit your original post. I may miss the change, or you may invalidate your picks.
While you're free to elaborate on your picks, your predicted winner must be clear at a glance. I don't want to have to read through a five-hundred word essay to figure out which team you're picking. More accurately, I won't.
Conditional picks are not allowed. That is, there is no "Winnipeg if Pierce plays, Edmonton if he doesn't." If you make a conditional pick, I will accept the first team named as your pick.
The complete rules are posted here.
) But come on, guys, show me some reason to believe. Calgary is just too good for them, and at McMahon Stadium the Esks won't even have home field advantage to rely on. Stamps by a dozen.
