Over / Under update

[dougthonus]

I updated the results after the bobcats game. Looks like Ryguy is dominating us as the only one with an 8-1 (no undefeateds).

Any ideas for Pistons prop bets post them here.

Will RIP get a T?

How many points will Rose hold Stuckey to?

Which rookie coach will mess up more?

Will BG have back to back 30 point games?

I will not tolerate an 0-3 start, i have let myself down and the entire bullspodcast forum.

I can't believe Gray + Roberson + Linton + Hunter ended up being the over. I thought that was a sure thing to be on the under.

It's really a minor issue but the leaderboard is being displayed awkwardly. I can't figure out how it's sorting the leaders. I'd suggest that it should sort in a simple manner, either by % or by total number of correct answers for the current week or something.

It also might make sense to have a space right there on the over/under page to make suggestions for possible questions. An admin could then simply approve or disapprove the suggested questions rather than having to think them up.

I'm really not trying to make more work for you Doug. I realise you've got lots on your plate putting this site together, which you've done excellent. I think it might actually work to reduce your workload since most of the questions could be made up by board members and it would be a simple matter to just ask one of the admins to be responsible for checking them before each game or something.

Only one I got wrong was Noah getting more defensive boards than Brad Miller. I thought Brad would make a killing tonight, as he could box out Okafor better than Noah.

That was the one I missed too.

I have to admit, I was cheering for Okafor to get a garbage time block once I knew the Bulls would win, since I had him in the more blocks tyrus/okafor.

I see the problem, it's sorting leaders by percentage, but it's doing it as if the percentage is alpha and no numeric, so the 100%s are counted as 1s and not 9s etc.. I'll see if I can fix that.

I like that idea. I need to improve the interface for entering questions though as right now it sucks too badly.

I'm never opposed to suggestions. They may not always be implemented or may take some time to be implemented, but suggestions are always good.

Thanks, Doug! In that case, it might be better if clicking on the "over under" link takes you to the questions page rather than the leaderboard. When I click there I'm interested in checking out what today's questions are.

 

[dougthonus]

If you click on the link for unaswered over / under questions which appears in your profile section when logging on it takes you directly to the answer section.

There are no new questions up yet.

 

[dougthonus]

Okay, it's possible there are bugs, but now I believe anyone can add over/under questions, I just need to approve them.

The interface isn't entirely fleshed out, as you can't see a list of questions you've added or anything so after you add it, to you it just goes away. I'll try to add that at some other point later.

 

[collisrost]

Fantastic! I love it! Shouldn't there be a "2009 playoffs" category, BTW?

 

[Newskoolbulls]

newskool needs a point bad :laugh:

 

[dougthonus]

I added a 2009 playoffs category.

I added a few questions.

 

[dougthonus]

I approved all the submitted questions except the who will have more mid range jumpers tyrus or bargnani, because I wasn't sure how easily I could answer it.

 

[Newskoolbulls]

Yea I know, that was a bad a question.

 

[dougthonus]

I thought the question was interesting just not as easily verifiable. I could have looked at the play by play or the NBA shot chart, but I just didn't want to have to do the extra work because I'm lazy.
