GAME RUNNER ANNOUNCEMENTS
- 11/01/2020 Changed the "UPDATING YOUR PICKS" screen to show the date and time the picks were submitted. This way, if one of your players
sends you a screen shot of the screen, you can compare it to the picks log to see if they changed their picks AFTER the screen shot!
- 11/01/2020 Changed the MAKE PICKS screen to give a warning if you change anything. If you change a pick, then try to leave the screen, it will say
"Leave site? Changes you made may not be saved"
- 09/07/2020 The open/close pool now has an option to open or close ALL weeks at once. It's a checkbox. Most game runners won't need this, it's really only for those
pools where the players pick the whole year up-front. But you can use it if you want.
- 09/01/2020 When collecting "extra" information like real name, email address, and phone numbers of your players, there was a bug that could let the user duplicate his user name.
If he created a new user (after entering his phone number for example), if they hit the BACK key on the browser, then changed the initial password to the new password, it would
create a duplicate user. This is fixed, and also the whole process of collecting player email, phone number, and real name was improved from an ease of use perspective.
- 09/28/2019 For those of you that use college games, I know have fixed the program to load in games / spreads automatically. It used to use the "Sheridan's Lines" page,
but that doesn't work anymore. Now, you can find the games/lines at sports illustrated (si.com). I find them by searching in google like this:
"college football spreads betting lines odds site:si.com".
In your game runner menu, click the Paste In College Games link. Then just copy/paste from the sports illustrated page into the program, and you get to select
which (or all) the college games you want to load, and it will pull in the lines for you also.

Pool backups: Game-Runners are responsible to back up up your pool!. Should there be any
system failures, loss of data, etc., you should have a backup. castle64.com is not responsible for any lost data.
To make a backup, simply do a Show Picks near your pool cutoff, and SAVE IT TO DISK.
This will be your backup each week. We have software that can RECOVER YOUR ENTIRE POOL just from
the "Show Picks" files! This backup can also be used to prove or disprove that anyone is cheating!
You may want to have one of your players do a Show Picks backup each week just to prove that the game-runner
is not changing his picks after the fact.
