Anyone play this?

Check out traffic from the Derby List board posted on the Equidaily site:
http://equidaily.com/
It's the second group from the top of the page.

Briefly, someone suspected that the site was hacked because the winning scores posted at the end just happened to be higher than you could possibly get with a perfect score. :lol: It was later reported by a player that the site's clock kept running after the races were done and allowed him to past post. :faint: He notified the contest guys during the contest; no reply yet. :bang: Scores were supposedly corrected as the impossible high scores are now gone, yet different winners were shown on the site page and the scoring page. :lol:

Will we find that the grandmas of the Fix 6 guys won this?

I would opt for thinking that it was just an untested site put together by the lowest bidder. Security was probably not an issue that was addressed very seriously.

I did play..not that well, but I played.
I made my picks, tried to edit before the contest started and the site let me (actually made me) register again. Same user name, password and e mail.
I only played 1 entry. I sent several e mails to "support" and "registration" because I didn,t want to be in violation in the very unlikely event I scored well. Never received a reply!
As you said, so much for security.

There's a more complete thread (under various titles, it's clear what's what) on the Derby List archive for July 18:

Mac,

How can I reach the Derby List? I can only get the horse racing disc., with too many distaffers saying how pretty the horses are. Kinda like Joanne Jones as imagined on her day off. I know, I'm bigoted. Hell, I can't even stand the "we Got Next" W.N.B.A.!

NTRA denies past posting was possible. They did take down the leaderboard due to malfunction but to me, that's a needed part of the contest. And when I saw the "fixed" leaderboard, "Entry 1" was in a bunch of spots where only one entry per person absolute was allowed -- that could be where people forgot to declare handles, though.

Have you checked out the archive? You can just lurk there for a while. Unfortunately, there is much less talk about handicapping over there, it always immediately turns into a totally useless nuclear war. And there will be some of those female types out there gunning for you there.

How can they not all this a No contest and void everything?

To allow any results to stand, to me, shows thay have no credibility.

:lol: Please e-mail me--- my attorney is starting a class action suit. He told me we stand to collect at least $3.50 each after he is paid. :lol:
