How Do I "Submit" My Picks?

Submit picks by clicking the "Save Picks" button, on the "make picks" page. "Submitting picks" is the same as "saving picks." When you click "Save Picks" - your picks are automatically submitted.

 

How Do I Change My Screen Name?

In general, screen name change requests will not be allowed or honored. If you have a special reason, send us a request with your desired screen name, via the contact us. Please note, screen names will not be changed after the picks deadline.

 

Why Am I Not Showing On the Leader Board?

The leader board only shows the top 1000 scores. It sorts by score, then screen name.

If you don't have at least as many points as the last person on the leader board and your screen name is not alphabetically before the last person on the leader board, then your score will not show on the leader board.

If your leader board has a filter on the last column, like "favorite location," that filter pulls from the top 500 who are on the leader board. So, if you are not in the top 500 you will not show on the leader board, not even for your favorite location.

 

I Am A Winner, Now What?

Please consult the official rules for guidance on winner notification. If you won for a particular location, in a larger pool, please contact that location.

If you currently use an anti-spam program or service, we ask that you take just a minute or two to add our publication to your "safe" or permitted email sender list. This usually involves simply adding our sending address (From:) to your whitelist, safelist, or list of priviledged senders. This is commonly known as whitelisting a publication.

Please refer to the following whitelisting instructions you can use to whitelist mdmgames.com, depending on the filtering solution you use:

Version 9.0:

Open your latest mdmgames.com e-mail. Click the Add Address button (on the right) to add to your "People I Know" list.

Alternatively, you can just send an e-mail to: webmaster@mdmgames.com, and that will add us to your "People I Know" list automatically. To do this:

Open your latest mdmgames.com e-mail. Click the Reply button (it's in the top right corner). A new email window opens with the wrong address in the "Send To" box. Replace the address in the Send To box with: webmaster@mdmgames.com Click Send Now (in the top right corner).
