| New Features: Day-to-Day Pickem Scores & Starters |
12:33 PM ET on 5/15/15 by Jay Soester |
Two new features have been added to MLB Day-to-Day Pickem
The Probable Starters page will now automatically update every four hours or so and include the pitcher's win-loss record and ERA. The probables will extend out a week from the current day, when known.
New Feature #2 is the game scores on the front page and schedule pages will update every 15 minutes with the current score and inning of the game. This may cause some issues with the scoring calculations as games progress, but I'll work out the kinks over the next week. If you're interested in having me keep things the way they are for a more "live scoring" feel to MLB Day-to-Day Pickem, let me know in the game thread.
Thank you to everyone that has helped me update the probables and scores manually in the past. The old methods will still be there if something needs to be fixed.
There is one more minor feature being worked on for the game before I move on to adding similar features to our other Pickem games. If you notice anything strange happening, please let me know.

| New Feature: Email Reminder Links |
10:44 PM ET on 4/27/15 by Jay Soester |
I've fixed the email reminder script for Fantasy Games which feature it to include a link back to the game and, when applicable, a link to make each individual game pick.
The improvement applies to MLB Day-to-Day Pickem, NASL Pickem, Premier League Pickem, CFB Pickem, NFL Pickem, CFL Pickem, and NFL Locks. Please let me know if there are any problems.

| NFL Locks - Now Available |
10:11 PM ET on 8/2/11 by Jay Soester |
NFL Pickem has a dance partner. NFL Locks is the second game on to be created on the league website to replace a game previously run through Yahoo!. Survival Pickem will now be moved to unofficial game status while NFL Locks takes Survival Pickem's place in Tier 4 of the official game list.
Reasons for the game's creation are given on the game's rule page. Instead of picking a single winner each week, as was the case with Survival Pickem, you'll now need to pick between three and five winners each game week with the result, margin of victory or defeat and pick weight being taken into account to determine a score for each pick. Unlike Survival Pickem, NFL Locks will feature week wins and championship points for 5-0 and 4-0 weeks on top of championship points for overall rank, pick points rank and number of week wins rank.
If you have any questions about the game's rules or page, use the game discussion thread.

| NFL Pickem Available - On the League Website |
1:55 AM ET on 7/25/11 by Jay Soester |
The All-Sports Fantasy League has entered a new era. NFL Pickem has become the first game to be moved from Yahoo! to the website. The game will remain on tier three of the official game list and the championship points earned from the game will remain at roughly the same weight as they have been in the past within the new championship points system. I may need to alter the current championship points breakdown upon seeing how frequently the weekly points are given out through the beginning of the season.
The game format will be changing, however. Instead of simply picking the winner of each game, you'll now be predicting the score. From there you receive 30 points for a correct result, up to 15 for the margin predicted and up to six for each score predicted (plus another three if you get everything correct). The full game rules and scoring breakdown can be found on the rules page, which also features a section on how to participate. If you have any questions, please post them on the message board game thread.
The game features provided are similar to those Premier League Pickem, but more in-depth where possible. This includes providing the average picked score and result for each game and the NFL Standings if each member's picks were correct.
I hope to create a replacement game on the website for NFL Survival Pickem, currently being run through Yahoo!, within the next two weeks. A definite ruling as to whether or not Survival Pickem will remain a part of the official game list for the 2011-2012 season will be made by mid-August.
