I think there should be a feature in Tapology that every picker with more than a number of comp wins' picks should be hidden even if they didn't specify it in their settings.
Make it happen, Dan... err Greg! :)

Only somewhat though, since this is going be the last one for me, at least for the time being. Good luck to everybody in the future games and congratulations to the next champion(s)!

I've been playing this game for about 18 months non-stop now and I've gotten pretty good at it about 8-9 months ago. But it has become somehow, I don't know, hard for me very recently. And during the last week (yes, all 5 days) I just couldn't force myself to make any picks at all. I would open the window and stare at them blankly for some time only to later close it thinking "oh, I'll come back to it". And when I finally started making some and somehow forced myself through almost the full weekend (which is still much less than I'm used to doing - as I've done 400's - and shouldn't be a problem), I just couldn't bring myself to do any sensible research, even the minimum.
And after a couple of days ago when asked whether he will go back to picking full time Nick told me that he considers it "the worst idea ever", well, that gave me something to think too. I don't know if I'm burned out, if for whatever reason I've become bored with it or somehow disaffected (or even if that's a word at all, maybe "discouraged"?), but I just really don't feel like doing it anymore. I know I will keep making some picks even if only by force of habit, maybe even all of them if I have enough time and motivation, but definitely not in any competitive manner.
Hopefully though, this will pass and soon.

But FYI... you can go to your profile preferences page and click the box for "hide picks" and then it will hide all of your picks by default. And then you can on an event by event basis decide if you want to unhide them. Instead of the other way around.

Now what are the reasons for this? There's definitely a multitude, but what it all means is that people are moving on and in a year I'm sure the greatest prophet of all time in anik will be ruling over and talking **** to well, no one.

Forum activity is basically flat and there are some improvements needed. But LOL @ dying.

Now there are 400 fights per weekend and to @joe's point it gets to be too much for most mortals.
