Sooooo we're in kind of a tricky spot, right from the jump, with the first question.
Obviously 26 teams played on Opening Day so we have some winners and losers. The Red Sox and Orioles will make up their game today, so we'll have their first game later today.
The entire Mets/Nationals weekend series has already been postponed, according to ESPN's schedule. As of now, the first game for both of those teams will come on Monday, and against different opponents than the pickers chose (Mets@Phillies, Braves@Nats).
I can't reveal all the other games from Question 1 without knowing whether Mets/Nats pickers are right or wrong, because it affects the number of correct answers submitted. If we had pickers on both sides, then one would be right and one would be wrong and the total # of corrects would be the same, but (spoiler) we have Mets backers, and nobody on the Nats.
So I'm inclined to go off the results of the Mets' first game, which is scheduled to be Monday at Philly, and do the reveal on Tuesday. The Covid issues are apparently all with the Nats, so it shouldn't be a situation like the Cardinals had last year where they missed more and more time as the outbreak was contained.
Also I'll finish formatting the entries I have and get back to people that need to make corrections later this afternoon, and we'll have the total number of entrants then
I took a very chalk approach since this contest gets a lot fewer entrants that NFL so ace hunting isnt as valuable. Getting a question wrong is a much bigger deal IMO.
Oops, found 2 mistakes with farmslicer7 and Nittery's entries, and they've been pm'ed.
The questions they're missing are sufficiently far enough out that there won't be an advantage from a couple games played, but if they can get back to me ASAP that'd be great.

Well, thanks to Covid remaining an ever-present force in all our lives, it interfered in our PEEHS schedule... but with a lower entrant count to play haywire with our scoring data, THIS reveal shapes up to be a barn burner!
We have not one, but TWO incorrect SHEEP answers that will activate the scoring penalty!
