Football Pickem Pool

Some have said they can't see their group members.   The most common reason for this:  You are not connected to a group.  

Each year we begin with preseason and people are invitied to build groups during that time.    By default, group members are then "connected" to that preseason group.   When the real season starts, the new games are inserted and the preseason games are removed.    What results:  When you login, you will no longer be connected to your group.     (Look for the Join or Create a Group! message)    

The other way this can happen (not being attached to a group) is when a group manager removes you from their group.   Group managers have red Xs next to each person in their group.  If they don't want you in, that red X will remove you.   (It removes you from the group, but does not delete any of your data)

The most common reason this happens:  You just registered and didn't complete the process.   You must register, then join a group.  (95% of the groups here are private, so you must also know the group code)

Anyway, to fix this is pretty simple:   

Within the control panel click the Select Groups icon.     Join your grouip by entering the group code and you'll be back in.   (Remember, you can join more than one group.   To move from one to the other, you would use the same Select Groups icon)

HELP. I lost my password.  Send it to me.

We've all done it.  That's for sure.   The good news:  There is a link you can click to get this taken care of without having to wait (and hope) for us to respond.    As long as you can remember your ID AND the email address you used, the password reset can be handled quickly and efficiently, even at 2m.    Here's all you do...

If you don't remember your ID and your email, that sucks.  That means the only way past this is to A> Guess at these or B> Ask us to fix this for you.   (FYI... in this regard, our customer service may suck bigtime)

Should you find yourself in this unpleasant spot, just go back to your email and find the validation note that was sent to you.  (you had to have received this in order to activate your account)  This note will include your ID and initial password.    Sure, it's possible you changed the password, but at least you'll know the two critical items:  The ID and the email address.    The validation email looks something like this:

Hope this helps.   Bottom line:  If your account has been activated, please do not ask us to give you the password.  We don't know it and there's little chance we'll reset it for you UNLESS you give us a really good story that we can publish here to entertain others.  :)

I created an account, I received an email and confirmed that I want to do this -- now what?   Where do I go to log in to join my group and make picks?

Look in the upper right corner of the home page.    You should see two fields, the first is for your ID, the second your password.  (If you do not see this, it may be a BUG IN IT -- read more)

Make sure to enter your ID and PW as you created them as they are case sensitive.   Important note:  Your account will not work until you have validated it via email.  If you did not get said validation request, check your spam folder.   (This is especially true for free email accounts like hotmail as they have spam protection cranked up)     If you registered and you can't find the validation request, then contact us and we'll enable you from this end.   (This is not something your group manager can do.)
