Madpickers,
Welcome to Madpickers
During the few weeks each of you needs to take two minutes out of your day to make the start to the season as smooth as possible.
What is the site?
It should still be on your device from last year for the non-rooks.
Bookmark this site to make things easier. This will remain the same forever, just like your login ID 😊
What is my login?
I have added a forgot password link on the landing page. You will need to use the email address used last season played or for the rookies, the email address you provided. This will give you your ID and KEY (password).
These are the two pieces of information you will need to login. IF your EMAIL is different than the last season you played, USE THE OLD EMAIL to start.
If your email does not yield an ID/PW, contact me and I will rectify for you.
After I login the first time, what do I need to do?
Once you have your ID and Key, login and go to the Team Information link and update your information. DO NOT USE A PASSWORD YOU USE FOR PERSONAL ACCOUNTS as I do not yet have everything encrypted. Madpickers is special, so make a special password for it.
Note: You DO NOT use your Team Name to login. You will ALWAYS use the ID (a number) and your Key (password). I point this out as every year someone sends an email and says they can’t login and they are putting the team name instead of the ID!!!!
Please contact JDe if you wish to change your Team Name.
Rookies, how to enter picks.
Picks MUST be picked every Thursday before midnight CST OR before the first game chosen on Thursday if playing a Thursday game. I have had a few issues with time zone that I hope I have resolved, so I would recommend not waiting till 11:59 or minutes before a game starts, especially the week daylight savings time happens.
When you login to the site, the first link will be My Picks. Clicking on this link will take you to a page with all picks for the season. IF picks ARE READY, you will see an Enter My Picks Link. This is where you will choose games. I try to have picks ready every Thursday morning by 7:30 am CST, but shit happens sometimes. If the link is not there, check back later.
Cancelled Games
The Cancelled Games section of picks will work as in past years. In case of game cancellation/removal from board, these picks will replace any cancelled game. THE ORDER MATTERS. If you have one game cancelled the first pick will replace it, second game cancelled, second pick replaces.
Please notify JDe and Jacobi if a game has been cancelled and you still see it with a line on the Game Lines link. We try to stay on top of it, but we have day jobs too!
Other Info
The site has never “not worked” for someone successfully entering their picks if done within the correct time window. If you have problems and can’t get picks in, JDe and/or Jason Jacobi must have an email, text, phone message, carrier pigeon, etc before 11:59 pm CST. We cannot make exceptions as it is unfair to other pickers that got their picks in on time. As soon as you enter your picks, they will be present on the My Picks screen. You will not see ALL Pickers Picks until 12:01am CST Friday mornings.
I would highly suggest you take a screenshot of your picks and hang on to them so if something crazy does happen you have proof. The system is backed up every night.
I will remove the Forgot Password link after the first week as it is just a temporary way for me not to need to answer pickers that don’t remember cause those brain cells have been killed off for various reasons.
IF there is a flaw that you know is not correct, please let me know ASAP. I make mistakes, if a line is backwards or wrong, please let us know ASAP, if you choose that line, don't get mad when we correct it!
IF you have a suggestion on how something could be displayed/presented in a better, more user friendly way, we welcome your ideas!
Good Luck Pickers
