| MLB Standings Pickem Results |
11:22 PM ET on 2/16/13 by Jay Soester |
Congrats to Charles Yelverton for winning the 2012-2013 edition of MLB Standings Pickem with 137 points. Jeffery Murowsky was second at 133 points. Matt Humpal, Jeremy Galloway and Matt Gordon all tied for third and rounded out the top five with 129 points. Murowsky earned 0.5 extra championship points for scoring the most points on league pick points (57). Jeremy Galloway earned the extra points for having the most divisional pick points (51). Ryan Drzik earned the bonus for having the most record points (26). Michael Lytle earned the extra half point for scoring the most on playoff picks (23); he and Tim Schneider were the only members to pick the Giants to win the World Series before the season began and earn an extra half point for that as well. With the bonus, Michael Lytle came away with the most championship points from the game with 15.75.
I hope to have the 2013-2014 edition of MLB Standings Pickem set up in the next few weeks.
The 2012-2013 championship standings are now updated with the results. Brad Wilson shrunk Jay Soester's lead at the top from 36.91 points to 29.53 points. Nathan Susanto stayed in third and gained a small amount of ground while Steve Steffy jumped ahead of Brad Duff from fifth to fourth by 0.17 points. The rest of the top ten stayed the same while Charles Yelverton's game win jumped him from 15th to 13th.
When updating the game results, I noticed a mistake in MLB Playoffs Pickem which effected the top ten. The Giants had been scored as winning the World Series in seven games instead of four. The game results and championship points have been fixed. I apologize for the error.

| Overall Standings Pickem Results |
2:06 AM ET on 6/26/12 by Jay Soester |
Dave Berrong won Overall Standings Pickem with 553 points, 40 more than Matt Humpal's 513 in second place. Dario Ambrozwiez was the only other member to crack 500 points with 506 combined from MLB, NBA, NFL & NHL Standings Pickem. Andrew Senger & Brad Duff rounded out the top five. Berrong earned the five extra championship points for the victory along with the 21 other members to finish in the top quarter of all 87 members to participate in at least one standings pickem game.
The 2011-2012 championship standings are now updated through all games. Michael Lytle jumped into the top ten the latest results. With a top score of 755.99 points before bonus points are added, each member's bonus point total up to 75.60 points will be added to the final, official standings. I hope to have everything sorted out by Wednesday night. Only four sets of bonus points remain to be ironed out, those from the Hockey & Basketball Standings Assignment (specifically from two of the 28 leagues), those from the NHL & NBA Playoffs Assignment, and those from member post counts & message board time logged in. I'll be double checking the championship points log as well, if you notice any mistakes, please let me know as soon as possible; once they're final, they're final.

| MLB Standings Pickem Deadline Change |
10:06 PM ET on 3/27/12 by Jay Soester |
The deadline to submit your entry for MLB Standings Pickem has been pushed back to 7:05 PM ET on Wednesday, April 4th to coincide with opening night. There won't be any changes in the format or deadlines for MLB Day-to-Day Pickem. You have about 8.5 hours left to get your first pick in for the first day of the season for MLB Day-to-Day Pickem.
I elected to change the deadline due to a few reasons. First, it doesn't feel like opening day is less than 12 hours away, in part due to the lack of media attention to this point. Second, I see 24 of 59 (40.68%) have yet to submit their full entry. And finally, I was never fond of a 6:10 AM ET deadline and the last time games were played in Japan (in 2008, the inaugural season with the game on the old message board) to kick off the season I pushed the deadline back to opening day (the equivilant of April 5th this year).
Make sure to submit both the standings and playoffs portions of your entry.

11:55 PM ET on 3/24/12 by Jay Soester |
The Major League Baseball season starts at 6:10 AM ET on Wednesday with the A's hosting the Mariners in Tokyo. The following day features the same matchup with first pitch set for 5:10 AM ET. With the start of the first game, the deadline to submit your entry for MLB Standings Pickem passes as does the deadline to submit your pick for opening day in MLB Day-to-Day Pickem. Make sure you get your entry in for MLB Standings Pickem in on time. If you miss the first pick for MLB Day-to-Day Pickem, you'll still have around 150 days worth of picks to make up for it with as the deadline for each day is the start of the first game that day.
With MLB's return to the single game opener, the game will revert back to the tradition solo DMU to kick things off with Felix Hernandez facing Brandon McCarthy. The second game of the season between the two teams will not be a DMU. The third game of the season, the traditional single, night game opener with the Cardinals visiting the Marlins in their new ballpark will be a DMU in keeping with the opener tradition. The DMUs for the rest of the first game week of the season will be set some time next week.
This is the third edition of MLB Day-to-Day Pickem to be run on the website and will again feature $10 Money Leagues credits for the regular season and playoff winners.
I'm looking for a few volunteers to help me run the game by helping me update game scores, probable starters and perhaps set DMUs. Those that volunteer will receive bonus points for their efforts. The amount depends on the work load, but the minimum received last season was five points while the maximum was 20.
