Nope, that's not how this works. Everyone has to submit their picks either themself or by instructing someone to submit picks in their place (usually only necessary when someone's VGC account is banned). There's no "we can assume that this is the team he would pick, so let's make the pick for him." Showing up is part of the game. I am obviously aware that he didn't pick NE vs. KC. I also talk with him on Discord about football on a regular basis, including yesterday. Still, I didn't tell him because I have to maintain impartiality as the prediction league host. If I helped one person, I'd have to help everyone else too. That's why helping nobody is the fairest approach with the highest level of consistency for me as the host. There's no rule that prevents players from helping other players by reminding them or giving tips with things like injuries, so the first half of your post isn't a problem. But the second half demanded clarification on my part. |
Fair enough. It's unfortunate Covid is already creating some confusion in the season.
