Clarifications -
deadline for selection is still 5 minutes before first game kickoff, right?
For example, this next Thursday kickoff is supposed to be 8:30 pm, ET. So that means 8:25, natch. Not one minute before, or one second before kickoff.. (Just refining my potential for nagging Late People)
Right!

do we care or didn't that get resolved that if there was a tie, whoever was lowest ranking up until then wins the tiebreaker??
That was a second level tiebreaker. If we have a tie after the total score tiebreaker, then the one with the lower standings in our game leading into the current week will get that week's win. Last year there were a couple games where 2 or 3 players would be tied at the end of Sunday's games and have the same winner(s) picked for Monday night. rjb would give those folks an opportunity to change their total score for the Monday night game. We decided to forgo that this year and give the weekly win to the person behind in our game. So yes, we do need the total score of the designated Monday night game (one game will be designated if there are two Monday night games).
In addition to the overall standings based on games picked correctly, I've got a number of stats that I'm planning on providing. Weekly standings as a composite tally is one (1 pt for first place, 2 for second, etc., lowest overall score at the end of the regular season wins that metric).
lmur -- welcome, welcome! There's plenty of room in my database. I need all the folks I can get to potentially do worse than myself.
