    I had honestly forgotten all about it, but I don’t think calling them a directional school is in any way making light of their situation. That said, I edited my post based on your reaction to it. I certainly didn’t intend to be insensitive to the tragic events surrounding their program.

    Only match play. C'mon @wingtee. You know this. Never in medal play.

    Thanks, wing. I appreciate any dialogue about this. I do not agree with awarding pts for picking the winner (too easy for many games), but there is a reasonable argument for making it a stipulation for getting the 2pt victory.

    Ur the commish . Come conference season , especially the SEC it won’t be so easy. I love ur idea about playing the spread though . That would spice it up and add some angst.. which I love !

    The winner thing is tricky.

    If I pick Florida to win 100- 50, and they lose 76-74, winning the total seems wrong as it was a horrible prediction

    On the flip side. If pick a 76-74 winner and they lose 74-76, NOT winning the points seems wrong as it was a great prediction.

    The contest involves score differential for both teams, so the 100 - 50 pick would be off by 48 pts. I agree with your point, though, about stipulating the "right side" to win the 2pts. This contest has always been about picking closest to the score.
