GTS 2022

[pdub]

Just activated it.
Might need some adjusting after the fact but wanted to get it up for you all before the season so you could get your scores in.

Same rules - be sure to guess before the time of the game.

Announcement here:

OK.
I don't have time to fix the error, spent 3 hours on it this morning and couldn't figure it out.
That's all the time i'm gonna spend on this deal so I created a work around I hope is fine.

If you get to the page, and can't login using the form there, then use the alt button below.
Log in using that method and hopefully that'll function alright.
I tested on safari, firefox and chrome and it worked.

I won't support Edge if there is an issue there.

Let me know, for those having issues, if you are able to submit.

If all is good, GTS will start v NC State.

- Predictions must be made BEFORE the start of the game. This doesn't mean tip - it means the time listed on GTS and the website. Predictions submitted after that time won't count. If you're even one minute late, it doesn't count. Sorry, you've been warned.

- IF YOU DECIDE TO CHANGE A PREDICTION PLEASE JUST RESUBMIT. The one that will be counted is the latest one, assuming it is posted before tipoff.

SCORING: The points you receive will be based on two factors: margin of victory and actual score. Margin of victory is weighted twice as much as the actual score. Absolute value of the difference is used. (NOTE - this is the same as in prior years)

Example:
--------
Predicted score:
KU 74
KSU 64

Actual:
KU 90
KSU 87

Margin of victory:
------------------
Predicted (74-64) = 10
Actual (90-87) = 3

Points = (10-3)*2 = 14

Actual Score:
-------------
KU (90-74) = 16
KSU (87-64) = 23

Again absolute value of the numbers are used so no negatives!

Total Score:
------------
14 + 16 + 23 = 53

THIS CONTEST IS LIKE GOLF - LOW SCORES ARE GOOD; HIGH SCORES ARE BAD.

Exceptions:
-----------
- If you incorrectly choose the winner of the game you will receive a score of 100.

- You will receive a score of -50 points for guessing the EXACT score for each team. Remember, low score = good.

- It is possible to pick the right winner but be so far off on the margin of victory that you get a score greater than 100. Since it doesn't seem fair to penalize a correct winner guess more than one that is wrong, the score for a correct winner guess will be capped at 99.

- Lastly, if you fail to submit a guess for any game (or if it is late), your score for that game is 100.

[pdub]

Not seeing that error but I’ll just consider this game an exhibition until I can get time to look at it.

[TDub]

I got the same message, then changed my browser from Edge to Firefox and it worked.

[pdub]

Well thanks.
But also, goddamnit.

[ramjet]

didn't work, then it did, now it doesn't - same errors as noted above

[pdub]

That’s gotta be our server rather than the code I think. If it can work on one browser then suddenly not, it’s very likely not what I’ve coded.

I am swamped with actual work so it’s very likely GTS has a late start, probably around when Self gets to coach again.

[digitalkookie]

Whitt...Should we be submitting scores or have the kinks not been worked out yet?

[KUTradition]

mine seemed to submit without error

[pdub]

No haven’t had a chance to look.
Tomorrow my schedule opens up so I’ll take a look.
If our server isn’t working with I may consider just switching authentication to gmail and fire base and not have to rely on php. Your gmail would not be visible to anyone including me—it’d be used just as your login.

But the ideal situation is just to use what I already have.

Goal is Selfs first game back.
