You win the satisfaction that you had the best picks haha. For summer vacation (I will be gone for periods as well) you can make early picks. True you may be at a disadvantage with injured players or teams on a hot-streak, but it's better then no picks at all.

Um, eh, why not. And, if you don't mind, I have a suggestion: anybody who doesn't pick at all loses 5 points for that week. Or his picks are the worst teams in the league. Something like that. Just thought I'd put that on the board. GO PIRATES!

Nah, It's already enough punishment for them to skip that week, that's missing at 15 possible points. Its incredibly unlikely that any of us will not get at least 1 pick right each week. Assuming each team had a 50% chance of wining, then the chance of losing all 15 would be .0000305175781. With 24 weeks in baseball, we have a 0.000732421874 chance of losing all 15 1 week, and with a project 6 people, there would be a total 0.00439453124, a very unlikely possibility. So not picking any would be unwise, and there would be no reason to do more. Just pick ahead of time and wing it.

As will I, which is why I will be making early picks. I'll find someone to keep track of stats while I'm gone.
