    Future rule change suggestion @RealtyGator - if a player does not make picks, we might consider charging them 200pts. There are two panelists listed who did not make picks and they are at 900 pts, which is higher than several players who made picks. It seems like folks who do not participate should have a more proportional "contribution." Do others agree with this? I wouldn't suggest changing the rules during the season, but maybe for next year.

    How about something like this…
    X/15*1000
    X = Week #

    Basically, penalty is higher as the season goes on as you don’t want people sitting on large leads. This would work for minimum weekly bets too. Just a thought.
