To any one that checked inbox and spam and what not and still don't see the email, please let me know. We have some email addresses that may have been wrong so just let us know. Sent from my smatrfone
Official Results After Round 1 Please let us know if there are any issues. There were only 11 test entries, so hopefully those that didn't enter anything at least know of it. I'll open up Argentina and you can place your rankings. PLEASE enter something for Argentina in the next few days please. Let us know of any trouble. Deadline Currently is 12:00 AM EST of Raceday
We've checked over the scoring routine and it appears to be working, but cross check it against your own calcs if you did it. We owe Bird a beer for putting the survey and spreadsheet together. He is a fine (and large) avian.
Also, please just let me know if anyone is aware of any rider changes: additions/subtractions/wildcards. Those have to be manually changed, so help a bird out in case I don't update the list and you would like to select one of the riders not listed.
So we are entering our picks somewhere else now? I haven't been following this thread and I'm confused about this next round. And why is the deadline at midnight instead of race start?
BigBird has built a secure pick selection process using freeware survey tool. Your email is the only spot that a valid entry can be made from for you. BB also sent an email with the link to the site to submit a test. However, my master email list isnt working for everyone either due to spam filters or possibly a transcription error. People can still use the goat site as a backup for their picks, but there is no guarantee of fidelity (either purposefully or not) between the goat picks and the survey picks, so the latter must be viewed as the official ones. It is very easy to confirm your picks -- close and repoen and they will ahve stored the last saved entries. The 12 AM* time cutoff is due to the survey tool not having more time function precision. We had 11 people (now 12 with jk) do the test. We need to confirm that everyone has access to the survey tool. It is real easy to use, and doesn't rely on us having to manually transcribe entries from the goat site. Sorry its been a bit of a hassle by Scotty -- your'e in second place man! Our own package was the best way to make sure it all worked and was in our control. So please if you have not gotten or found the email with survey instructions, please send a valid email to the Bird. We need that address to set up the survey to receive your picks. * still working on this. stay tuned.
Just now found it in my spam folder but the survey ended last night. Is there going to be a home page type link that we always go to? or is there just going to be a link emailed to us the week before the races each round?
I closed the test, and opened up Argentina. It will be an emailed link that is just for you. You can use that email and continuously adjust the lineup as you please until cutoff.
Love it. I went from dead last on MotoGOAT's original scoring and am up to 8th. @BigBird , 'The Director' didn't receive the test survey, but we'll look for the Argentina E-Mail. I received it this morning. Thanks for all of the hard work!
Note (and maybe I was the only doofus): Argentina is the week after this one: raceday is 3.31. So we have time to get everyone settled into the game process, but go ahead and use the tool to set picks, then just refine them once we have data from the weekend (if so inclined). Ive got everyone's deposits sans one player. I'll be working on getting that escrowed. Also, WRT to any possible appeals, I'll be judge, jury and executioner. To avoid any perceived conflicts of interest, Should I win I'll give all profits to the AFF. I dont have a separate email for the Director -- can you send one in convo to me and BB?
There are no conflicts of interest. It's all transparent, so keep your money if you win and do as you please. Trust me, if there are any issues about your decisions, you'll hear from it here.
FYI, you may have received an email titled "MotoGP Rankings -TEST" just now. This was a test of the reminder system, so that we can utilize that feature in the future so people get a heads up. if you click the link it should say survey end, so you can ignore that one. The argentina email link is active and ready to roll
So what emails should I be looking for now? To date, the only one I have received is the original test survey email.
