power polls and hail redskins members...

[jsarno]

Is it possible for a power poll to be started for all members to participate in?
For instance, if 200 of us went to make our selections, could it average out and show what the hailredskins members believe to be the power poll for that week? Justcurious...I think a lot of us would enjoy that week in and week out.

I don't know that the admins saw this as no one replied so I am bumping it back to the top as I think this is a good idea!

Sounds like it woudl be too hard to manage. During the season jsarno, you woudl not believe how busy all of us are to bring you the best hR can bring. I am not sure any of us have the time to manage something liek this. Spence's Powe rPoll is awesome, he takes alot of time out to do that and we appreciate it. If you wish to post your own as well, we woudl be happy to have your input as well. In fact, if you wish to do a weekly power poll for hR, so we have two, Spence and JSarno, that would be great. But as far as compiling results here, I am just not sure that I can commit any time to it without other avenues of hR suffering.

I woudl be happy if anyone would want to commit to a Power Poll liek Spence, then we can have two. Spence would enjoy that.

Anyone who wants to post a power poll here is welcome to do it. Try it some time and you'll see there are no impediments. As to JSARNO's specific idea at the top of this thread, I have no idea how to do that technically. If some of the other admins [or anyone else] knows how to do it, then it is fine with me.

It sounds like a good idea. JSARNO, would you be up for compiling the numbers from other members?

Must admin the IDEA has some merrit.
BUT then again I WOULDN'T want Spence to stop - I need that beginning of the week irritation - lol. ........ Kidding Spence, you do a great job and put a lot of thought into it. Like I've said before, makes for a great debate.

I might be able to put a system together...It would take me some time though....Wouldn't be out till much later in the season...

[hail2skins]

Go for it jporterweb. Even if it isn't used this season, there's always next season.

I would have no problem doing that. I was basically asking like poll question now. It keeps track and then makes a bar sheet plus percentages etc, and it's constantly changing. Couldn't one be done for a power poll? That is totally a technical question, and obviously I have no clue if it can be done or not. I just figued our members would enjoy seeing what the "average" power poll would be.

a spreadsheet would work (excel) rules could be set for boxes to sum or average numbers... I'm not a software wiz but I use excel at work and fiddle with some of its tools.

I would love to do my own...I already do one for my work here. SO I can just repeat it to the site. I have my poll done by tuesday mornings on most occasions.
As you all know I live for football. I have hte sunday ticket so I can watch any game at any time, and I LOVE fantasy football. I was actually hired by my boss to do a power poll for my company each week because I've made him a lot of money on bets he's made. I usually catch crap from some people, but I know how much time and effort it takes to do one of these.
I'd love to rival Spence.
Pennskinsfan...PM me, with any details or thoughts, and I'll get started.

what's the final word on this?
