I agree this thing kind of sucks to fill out sometimes, but I don't think we should have huge amounts of cash going out from just copy/pasting. How about a new format for ASW pickem that can be posted instead of PMed? Something like:
1. Name one all star from each position (cannot name exact 5 as someone else. $150 for each correct answer)
2. Name the ASW MVP. Cannot choose the same as someone else. $200
3. Dunk contest winner? Cannot choose the same as someone else. $200
4. 3 point shootout winner? Cannot choose the same as someone else. $200
5. Rookie/Soph MVP? Cannot choose the same as someone else. $200
That's still a lot of potential cash, requires a little thought about who you are picking, but doesn't take too much research.

Personally I don’t mind it the way it is. It took me about 20min to fill it out this year, but the reward was worth more than an article for some people. The problem with the above is like Slam winner there’s usually like 3-4 guys who seem to be in the running every year. So if you’re not one of the first guys to post then you won’t get a high probability winner. This hasn’t really been a problem in the past. It’s easy to tell when it’s a copy/paste because it’ll be something obvious like they were the only 5 to pick Nunn and Pritchard for the ASG. |

It didn't take long to fill out at all. Don't see a problem with it as is |

I think we should keep it as is because that penalizes people if they aren't one of the first replies if there are real obvious players that are favorites in each category. It's not hard to fill out and don't think it should be changed just because a couple of people are trying to game the system. Just have identical entries in the future either not count or be subtracted instead of added as a penalty and it will be fine I'm sure. |
