Don't want to duplicate. Who usually sets this up?

Since nobody started one, I set up a FBG group:

Group ID#: 48444

Group Password: fbg1

So fare the picks are straight up, no spread, but this can be changed.

So is there going to be any discussion about changing this to a pick vs the spread, or are we just going with straight picks?

I don't think Kblitz has been here yet to see our comments. Anyone else care to chime in on this issue? Especially if you are anti-spread?

I just set the deadline to five minutes before each game (not before the first game of the week as before), so you can change your picks untill the last minutes.

I don´t have a problem with spread or straight picking, but noticed that nearly all of the people who have joined, have already made their picks (if these dashes in the group pick section behind the name indicate that). Don´t know if it were correct to change the setup now?

Best thing might be that everybody who cares eather way says so until September 7th noon ET, majority decides. Everybody should check his picks afterwards, in case spread has been voted.

Okay, I'm confused. Almost everyone who expressed an opinion on the original league preferred spread over straight up. So is the plan now to just leave it straight up regardless?

7-1 for picking against the spread so far. I´ll wait 3 more hours and would change to spread then if votes stay this way.

I thought that's why the second league was started? One straight up, one vs. the spread.

Sorry just noticed that now. I thought the second league was opened because the first one was full. My fault. In this case of course the first league will stay as it is, straight picking of games

MY fault, the rules of the first league will stand as they are. The second one will be against the spread.
