I can confirm.
good question. Not sure off the top of my head; I imagine that if there is, there’ll also be a way to center a column as well.
My guess is that the alignment of the column headers and the column must be the same, though.

What's up with 2013, you ask?
Of note is 2013. That’s the year where the intern mislabeled the home & away teams on the entry form. This oversight was not caught until after week one. All players were allowed to resubmit their entries for week 2 and following. Only Patience did. The Arbitrary considered doing so but did not since his original picks were based off of the supposedly correctly-labeled home & away teams. You can start reading about all the fubar fun here. The season ended with Patience in 2nd (163-92-1) & The Arbitrary tied for 7th (156-99-1), so their records were still pretty close even though their picks weren’t.
If I couldn’t get #4, this was the next best thing
Link didn’t work for me, but knowing the timeline of 2013 and where I was in my life, I’m guessing I just didn’t have the time/energy to rethink anything. I believe I was knocking out 75 hour weeks after taking two vacations, one with a very pregnant wife.
But I think Home/Away only gets 14.735% weighting in my proprietary formula for making picks.
Writing that down for next year.
Thank you to numbers for running the contest again! Glad we were able to get through a full season somehow.
On to the playoffs!!
:toth:
Somehow, we managed.
Oh, dear God, no.
Kinda hoping someone runs some of the post-season contests we’ve had in the past. I wish I could remember some of them!
Sweet!
BTW, I’m always looking for award suggestions - either additions or deletions.
Post them here or send them to actuary1695814 [at] gmail.
IT’S A TRAP!
I may have fixed it.
Here’s the short story: Basically, the intern screwed up the entry form that year - not knowing who was the Xs and who was the Os.
Thanks for the game! Next season i will try to be first instead of last (which i usually am around) to submit.
