Questions shouldn't change, but answers definitely might. People can always resubmit, though. I guess it's just a balance between having it open as long as possible so as many people as possible enter, & staleness/people having bad answers because they felt obligated to enter too soon.

Opening day is August 12th.

Ok, so I have a complete set of draft PEEHS questions that I feel relatively comfortable with. Anyone who I should entrust with being the final arbiter of how good they are via PM? Just roll with them? Or post them itt for group feedback?

In unrelated news, I'm revealing a Eurocentric SheepHeepRooPeehs (it's less complicated than it sounds) that reveals in 18 hours if anyone is interested.

Jmurder, don't hesitate to check the one ran by TJ for the season, I felt it was run great. One thing he did really well was space the timing of the questions so we could get a reveal in regularly throughout the season with "name a player who will do x by 20th of october" types of questions

The draft I sent to sixfour has a reveal every week for the 1st 3 weeks, then one every 2 weeks for the rest of the season, plus 11 end of year questions for a total of 30.

My bigger concern is making sure the categories are of interest to people who would be playing, & that I'm estimating the potential # of corrects reasonably to ensure questions are neither too easy nor too hard.

I think I wrote about half the questions TJ ended up using in NBA Peehs.

And yes .. it's a feature/bug of the EPL that sucks

Hmm. I feel like anything other than an opening day deadline kind of defeats the purpose of the whole contest & people should be able to use their best speculation as it relates to how the rest of the window will play out...

I'm just loling at the transfer deadline tbh.

And of course, since my team will exclusively do their transfer business between the kick off and deadline day, I obviously won't in your game. Otoh - no big loss - I probably wouldn't anyway.

Just thought the thread should know that JMurder3 is an extremely cool and nice dude IRL, who also looks a lot like Clint Dempsey, if you could picture a Clint Dempsey who smiled a lot.

Don't worry, I think the depth of analysis involved in explaining his hatred for Matip endeared him to all

Thanks for the endorsement haha.

SABR is also a super nice guy irl, but he doesn't look like Clint Dempsey.

Hope everything has been going well with you.

Season hasn't started yet. No points.
