All good. All picks were on time.Was there picks put in after 1 pm EST? Because on my end 11:51 am was the last pick put in for this week... Which is before it closes at 1pm... Am I missing something
I mean not really. Rules specifically say if early international game picks must be in before kickoff. If they decide to make an exception it's fine by me, but based on the stated rules any picks submitted after 930am est wouldnt be on time.All good. All picks were on time.

HOW IT WORKS
PICKS ARE TO BE MADE IN THIS THREAD
- Pick 6 teams each week from the Sunday slate that you believe will win.
- Picks must be submitted before 1:00 PM EST on Sunday, when the thread will be locked.
- If an early international game is played, your pick must be submitted before kickoff.
- Every correct pick earns points based on that week's value.
- The point value intentionally increases every week, making the later weeks more important and giving players a chance to make a comeback.
- No editing picks after they have been submitted.
- If you pick a game that isn't part of the Sunday slate, that's on you. Double-check your picks before submitting.
- Miss 2 consecutive weeks and you will be eliminated from the contest.
- Cheating will not be tolerated. Any attempt to manipulate, alter, or otherwise gain an unfair advantage in the contest will result in disqualification.
POINTS BREAKDOWN
Week Points Per Correct Pick 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 10 10 11 11 12 12 13 13 14 14 15 15 16 16 17 17 18 18 WHY THE SCORING INCREASES
This isn't a standard pick'em.
Early-season wins matter, but every week carries more weight as the season progresses. That means someone who gets hot late can make a serious run at the top of the standings.
Stay in it. Keep making your picks. You're not out of it until it's over.
TIEBREAKER
If there is a tie after Week 18, tied contestants will use a total-points tiebreaker.
Along with your six picks, you must predict the total number of points scored in one of your six selected games.
The contestant with the closest prediction wins the tiebreaker.

Right. I didn’t see anyone pick that game after kickoff on my end. Just wanted to make sure I didn’t overlook it.Nobody picked that game today anyway...I think only 1 person did for the week.If you were going to pick that game yes your pick would have to be in before that
For that game yes... If you pick it your picks for the week will need to be in before that game... Otherwise it's still 1pmI mean not really. Rules specifically say if early international game picks must be in before kickoff. If they decide to make an exception it's fine by me, but based on the stated rules any picks submitted after 930am est wouldnt be on time.
