Registration

You can only make 1 pick per Registered Account. If you want to make more than

1 pick (bracket) then you’ll have to register again.

In order to make your picks you must register. We will not sell, distribute or bother you with

emails or notices. The only thing we will email you after you register is about upcoming

games each season; you can unsubscribe at any time. We are based locally in Hastings, MN.

We only ask for your Email and Phone # in the event there is an issue so we can contact you.

Fill out all the required fields

Click ‘Register’ when you are done

It may take a few seconds for it to process as the website calculates and updates information.

You will not be able to make your picks yet (although there is data in there it is only for test

purposes). This information will be removed (and any picks you may have made) prior to March 15.

You can make your picks shortly after the Picks Selection on Sunday March 15, 2015.

Making your Picks

The options below are actually larger than shown (I just made them smaller so I could show

you them all at once).

If you want to enlarge them (in case they are still too small for you):

Hold <Control> Key and press the <+> Key

OR

Hold <Control> Key and use the scroll wheel on your mouse

**You must save after making your picks for the Round**

If you don’t save them there won’t be an option for you to select a team.




6

This is the normal size that you’ll see.

You must make a selection for each of the Drop Down Menus.

The next round options won’t show up until your ‘Save’.




7

Edit your Picks You don’t have to make all of your picks at the same time. You can always go back and make changes.

If you don’t save your choices from the previous Round then you won’t have any options to choose

from.




8

View your Picks

Green = Right Red = Wrong Blue = Game not played yet

We will try our best to update the games as they happen. You can always visit this website to

see the current standings and/or results; you won’t have to wait for the weekly update.




9

Double Check your Picks

We recommend that you go here after you’ve made your picks. This will ensure that you’ve

made all the selections. We will try to contact you if there are any problems (so please be sure

to provide an Email and Phone # when you register so we can get ahold of you).




10

If you try to save and haven’t made all of the picks (or other required information):

It won’t save and the website will show you which fields you are missing.

It only checks the final game. If you can’t make a selection for the final game then make sure

you’ve selected all the previous games (and be sure to ‘Save’).




11

Actual Results When a game is over we will try our best to update the scores as quickly as we can.

12

Payouts

This area will show the number of users and the payouts for each place. Actual totals may

vary but we try our best to have this instantly updated.

Reports

This section will have all the Standings, Results and other fun reports.




13

Standings This will only show the Company that you signed up with.

Mathematically Eliminated

This isn’t an official standings but offers a general idea on if you are able to win (the

specific place). Official Standings will be reported at the end; this is only for reference.




14

Low Score - Leader This is only for the Dick Cragg (Hastings) Company/League. The ‘Lowest Score’ actually

is for the person closest to 70 points (in the end) without going over.

Champions Picked This will show the Teams that were selected by users to win it all. I have it separated by

Company/League; so you’ll only see the Company/League that you signed up for.




15

Round 1 picks (and other Rounds) Also the same for Round 2, 3 4, 5 and 6. Round 4-6 are grouped together.

This will show all the users for your Company/League and Teams they’ve selected.

You may have to scroll down to see all the games (separated by the Division they are in).




16

League History

This shows the previous winners; we’ll be updating this as far back as we can.

Filter by Year (on the bottom left side)

We have not entered all the years and have only entered the top 7 places (so far).

Troubleshooting

My teams aren’t showing up Make sure you saved your picks. Then the next round will allow you to make your selections.

My picks are wrong You can delete your current picks and start over if you like. If you have problems contact us.

I accidentally made 2 picks Contact us and let us know which one you don’t want; otherwise you can delete it.

I can’t log in The Sign In is case sensitive (so you have use Capital Letters and Lower Case Letters). You can also click on

‘Forgot my password’. If you still can’t get in then please contact us.

I see a blue screen and it says the website is down Please let us know right away ([email protected]) – this means that too many people are using the

website and I need to update it (it should only take me a couple minutes to do).

It shows I got a team wrong but I know I didn’t Please double check that you made the correct selection. If you still think you picked correctly then contact us

and we will look into it.

I don’t think my points are adding up correctly Near the end of the season (early April) we will manually go through and verify the points to ensure that the

website calculated them properly. We will make any adjustments as needed but hopefully we won’t have to. If

you do notice something wrong then please let us know right away (it may affect other users).

I couldn’t make my picks on time Unfortunately there isn’t anything we can do. The website is set to prevent any changes after March 19, 2015 at

11 AM Central Time.

I made my picks but they aren’t showing Please contact us right away, hopefully you will have noticed this prior to March 19, 2015 at 11 AM CST.

I can’t get into the website or don’t have access You can email or fax your picks to Dick Cragg however we can’t guarantee that they will be counted or received

in time. You can access the website and make your picks on any computer, desktop, Smart Phone or Tablet. If

you need assistance then please contact us at [email protected] or [email protected]
