If there are problems with the list, i.e. being left off the list on accident, copy and paste errors etc. please provide a web link to where the mistake was made so that I can quickly go back and see what you’re talking about that needs to be fixed. This will save me time and will be greatly appreciated.
7) Your picks / selections must be in prior to game time. The 5 minute rule is gone, but your pick MUST be made prior to first pitch of the game. In the event that I am at work when the game starts I will go by time of posts to make sure your selection was made in accordance to the rule. All late picks will be thrown out and you will not receive any points for that game.
If you do not get your picks in for the early game of the day, game #1, you are still allowed to make picks for the others provided they are in prior to the starts of those games.
8) **NEW** Because I am anticipating many people accidentally forgetting to get your picks off for game #1 of the day from time to time in post season picks 4 hits I am implementing ONE free Mulligan for each contestant and you can choose to use it when ever you want. Use it wisely because you only get one and that’s it. You can use your mulligan for any of the circumstances:
A) You didn’t get a pick in on time on accident.
B) You didn’t forget to get any picks in on time but would rather use it to wipe out a zero point or low point total game. If you use your mulligan on a low point total game like a game in which you received one point, that one point gets wiped out and you don’t get it back if your mulligan pick gets zero on your do over.
When you are using your Mulligan pick please indicate with your selections that it is your do over pick.

9) In the event that you will be going on vacation or know ahead of time that you will not be able to make a selection on a certain day you are allowed to make arrangements with myself to choose either a particular player or a default. Please make these arrangements through myself only so that others are not responsible for getting your picks in on time. I’ll mark them down on my calendar and make sure you get them on the day you requested. The best way to do this is to click on my name (SeaRoyal) in the picks 4 hits thread and send me an email letting me know what picks you need on what days. ***It is important to leave your message board name in the email so I know who sent the message. Otherwise I have no clue who sent me the picks.
10) To keep this game as confusion free as possible please hold off on making your picks for the next days game until all of the days games have been completed. I know that some of you work early in the mornings and I don’t expect you to stay up all night waiting for the final game of the day to be completed. If you MUST pick before all the nights games are finished please just email me your picks for the next days game rather than starting a new list and I will put them down for you. Again, when doing this please email me both your picks AND your message board name so I know who the email is from.
Also, once the days games ARE complete and we’re ready for the next list please either wait for me to make a new list or if you can’t wait for me please make sure and completely fill out all the days games complete with times and teams playing for the day.
Don’t just put ===è SeaRoyal selects Longoria (TB)
===è SeaRoyal selects Guererro (LAA)
===è SeaRoyal selects Ramirez (LAD)
Fill the list completely out like this, or wait until someone else makes it:

*Remember, you will make one selection for each game. In this example there are two games so you will have two selections. You choice can be from the home team or the visiting team but not both.
11) If your player accumulates points in a game that is called before it becomes an official game i.e. rainout or any other reason that would prevent a game from completion, no points will be awarded for that game. In this circumstance the current selection list for that game will be carried over to the next day when that game is resumed. You are allowed to change your pick in this scenario provided you change it before the game starts for the next day. If you do so please move your selection to the bottom of the list just in case defaults are needed.
