Last year player standings were difficult to figure out who should have the best win ratio as the people who missed picking on certain dates had a higher win rate becuase the total number of games they picked for was less than participants that picked every game for the entire season.

How can the settings be made so that a person who has either entered the league late in the season or has forgotten to make some picks have those non picked games counted as a loss?

Hi Paul,

Non-picked games, once you are in the league already count as a loss.  I also don't understand how people coming in late can be a problem since the Standings are determined by total wins, not winning %. Now I suppose if you wanted to determine your winner via best winning %, you could sort the final Standings by winning %, and require the winner to have picked a certain number of games to qualify.
