[quote name='Hostile']It would seem you should read the first post.
"Also, should a player not get their pick in before Monday @ 8 AM, their bye will be forced upon them for that week."[/QUOTE]Right, but since a "week" in the contest runs from Monday to the following Wednesday, the way I understand it to work is that your pick needs to be in by 8 am of the following Monday, in this case Monday May 26th. Week 1 is still running until this Wednesday; then Brian will check to see who is still in and who is out sometime between Thursday and Sunday. Week 2 will begin on Monday, May 26th, so picks for that week need to be in by 8 am of that day.
Edit: Oops, Robzilla beat me to it by 6 minutes, and was much more succint than me.
