Rich

BC's receiving corps has been decimated. Please change my pick to Ham. Thanks.

Yes, if you can no longer vote, your picks are in.

As I investigate this more, it looks like the culprit might be a bunch of bots hammering the site until it gets overwhelmed and needs a reboot.
I'm experimenting with different ways to block them. Let me know :
If you still experience the site slow or hanging
Some of the things I'm trying is putting a challenge in front of weird URL's the bots seem to be hammering on but that a person wouldn't normally visit . If you start seeing a challenge screen to prove you are human on something you do often, let me know what that is, and I can see if some of the rules can be relaxed.
This may be playing whack-a-mole for a little while.

Agreed. @Rich can you please change my pick as well?

No Hutchings, Orimolade, Begelton or Paredes. Gotta change my pick to the Bombers.

Pick 'Ems are back this year.
How do they work?   Each week you pick the winners for all CFL games (including playoffs).  You get one point for every correct pick.  Whoever has the most points at the end of the year wins a $50 gift certificate at the Bomber store.
Picks will be done through the polling system.  Polls close at game start of the first game of the week.  I will accept picks for games that have not started yet through PMs if you are late getting them in.
Picks this week need to be in by 6:30PM Thursday, June 4th
If you want an idea of what it takes to win it all, and who your competition might be, here is list of the top winners over the last decade.  Quite a few recurring names in there.
