Something probably needs to be adjusted with the Fantasy Zone

[scoop 3,426]

I don't hate the fantasy zone departing from the guess the score and opting for other styles of questions along with the pick 'em, but there's a glaring problem with it. In the first week, I asked when the deadline to submit was, and was told that it was the sim on which the pick 'em games are played. That wouldn't be an issue if there weren't questions regarding cumulative stats. Who will have the most points at the end of the 10/3 sim? Why would I answer this question any earlier than after the 10/2 sims to give myself the best chance of getting it right. Especially when it's a single question for 2 TPE. I guess because I don't want to end up forgetting to do it at all. I'm sure there are some people who want to get it done with right away and forget about it forever or at least until they get a ping telling them they won some TPE. I guess maybe that's not a problem. Maybe we want to reward the people who are making more informed guesses. However, I personally don't think that more informed should come in the way of actual results. "More informed" should be someone doing the research about a team's upcoming schedule to determine how confident they can be about them winning, or scoring a lot of goals, or whatever the question is asking.

Hey, I'm sorry I just saw this. I'm sorry you feel this way. I do realize that it might be unfair if you do it right away.  I wanted to make fantasy a bit tougher since you can get 8 TPE per week combined. I'll be honest it's tough to find good questions. Those style of questions where it's at a deadline is meant to be something I can delay. Of course I want to make fantasy fair for everyone. I'll look into doing better questions in the future!
