Posted December 22, 200817 yr comment_11033 Why cant the contest leaderboard and the betting page be 1 page? Wouldnt it be simpler to click on 2008 bowl contest link and it bring you directly to the leaderboard AND the contest betting page.
December 23, 200817 yr Author comment_11034 Please rename this thread Contest Layout instead of format.
December 23, 200817 yr comment_11035 I want to change a lot of how everything is laid out, but I;m not sure about that particular idea. It would be a huge page that way. As it is, you simply click the link to make your picks. I am not happy with everything from that point forward though. It probably should be listing the games with the first ending one first, not the last ending one first. And also for contests it may be better to have them all on one page instead of using pagination. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm not sure why you want it to have all of the games listed on that page also. I am assuming you mean the betting page and not the list of your own contest picks.
December 23, 200817 yr Author comment_11036 "I'm not sure why you want it to have all of the games listed on that page also." Instead switch the way the links work. When you click on 2008 bowl contest, have it direct you the betting page. On top where you have "make bets on this contest," thats where the leaderboard link should be.
December 23, 200817 yr comment_11037 Yeah but then when there are no picks left to make it would go to a meaningless page. The stats page will always have something listed as soon as someone makes a pick. Maybe I could do it where under the leaderboard it has all of the matchups you haven't bet on yet or something. Then when you're done with it, those go away. I don;t know. It's a tough decision on how to handle it. I don't think it would be good to do it the way you're saying though, ALTHOUGH I thought of putting it back in that main table of categories on the front page. You know the categories for normal betting? I really should have it back in that area also and THAT one go straight to the betting page. I took it out just to have it less cluttered, but it probably should be there since it allows regular betting. For bracket games those are done totally different where you don't bet on them, so those should not be in the main table.
December 23, 200817 yr Author comment_11038 The Bets should never disappear anyway. Maybe when the betting time is over the bet icon would switch to a view icon with the matchup, bet and or result depending on how it updates. Bracket is way different than this bowl contest. I wont have a review of that until i use it next year.
December 23, 200817 yr comment_11039 Why would you want the matchups to still show there if you can't do anything with them though?
December 28, 200817 yr Author comment_11053 Need a link where I can view my selections of games played.
December 28, 200817 yr comment_11054 Huh? On the contest page you can click your name to view your picks or if you mean you need to see which ones you haven't bet on, go to the list of all games and the ones that say "done" by them you already bet on and the ones that say "open" you still haven't made picks for. I am doing a lot of games as bets of zero, although today I just made some free, big, and normal bets of varying amounts.
