The question is unambiguously worded. I don't see any reason this particular instance of variance should be negated.

LOL "fairness" in gambling games.

The game should count as if it was played in Mexico (admittedly I've picked a Ram).

Don’t know who I picked but it should be graded as written (what Dudd said)

Alright, I switch my answer.

So has a decision been made or what? One should be made before a point is scored in that game to minimize conflict of interest from the MC.

Or we could meet in the middle and pick the worst option which is to throw the question out.

By far the worst option as it will deprive us of a reveal.

I'll just throw out another idea for meeting in the middle: score it both ways and average them for the final score.

As somebody who is both (likely) not in contention and has no idea what I put for this question, I still don't think it is a clear decision either way. Very good arguments for both sides.

Certainly an argument for not counting it - LOL Mexico has to be taken into account when picking your answers.

Thanks everyone for your input thus far.

Opinion looks to be split 50/50, but the prevailing/most recent sentiment seems to be to score the question as worded (Chief and Ram pickers are wrong based on the wording of the question). I will decide and then post the decision tomorrow before the game starts.

I'm just glad pwnsall isn't playing this year; he'd love nothing more than another controversy in one of my games.

Capricious and arbitrary rulings are a traditional component of peehs.

The Tampa Bay-Miami postponement was announced last year before the season started. Entrants were notified and had the chance to change any answers they wanted to. The first three questions (and I guess the team scoring one) were affected, then scored based on the wording of the question.

The difficulty here is that we're obviously well into the season and entries are locked.

Nobody went 7-0-1 at home. This was 2013 and CieloAzor started a discussion about the Packers. Green Bay went 4-3-1 at home, and CieloAzor wanted to know what I would have done if Green Bay went 7-0-1 at Lambeau.

This was 100% hypothetical, because Green Bay lost twice at home before the tie game; they were already incorrect after the second home loss.

I explained that if Green Bay had gone 7-0-1, then I would have ruled them correct (which I might not have done now based on the wording). If you look at Q 24 this year, the wording on the end-of-season team record question has been changed to (hopefully) avoid ambiguity.

I've indicated before that I picked a Ram, so this decision affects me. Here are the 16 people that picked Chiefs or Rams for Q 11:

I'll get the decision posted tomorrow as soon as I can.

at first i was like 'hey, i know i picked a Ram and you left me off that list'...today i learned my pick had season ending ACL surgery a few days ago so i guess it really doesn't matter.

QUESTION 11
After much thought, the question will be scored as written. Chief and Ram pickers will be incorrect, as they did not play in London nor Mexico City.

The Week 11 reveal will be Thursday, during the Chicago-Detroit game, and the Week 12 reveal will be sometime Friday.

In after ruling!

Boo this man. Boooooooooooo.

How dare you make this ruling that will negatively impact my score in this game for fun that I’m already failing miserably at. How dare ye.


<3

I'm sure I picked the sheep so I'm fine with either ruling

It feels a little cruel as to how the Chiefs/Rams answers will be incorrect, but it is a cold and uncaring peehs game for a cold and uncaring universe

Makes me picking a player who didn't play overseas less hurtful.

yep

Can't wait until the guy I picked for the Thanksgiving question misses the game with an injury

(it wasn't Kerryon)

And Trubisky missing the game makes my guess far less likely to score.

The ruling hurts me, but I agree with it. There's nothing ambiguous about the wording of the question.

I'm sure it'd feel bad if my rank weren't garbage already.

LIONS AND REVEALS AND BEARS - OH MY!

REVEAL TIME!
