Edit to add: First Pick Week will be August 31st! I will do my best to not select Thursday/Friday games this year.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD AUGUST, TKP!!!!!!
We are counting down the days until we get to see our Hokies in their everything-old-is-still-FRESH Maroon and Orange threads and that also means it's time to prove once again that statistically, none of us have a clue of what's going to happen this season.
That's right, PICK 6 IS BACK!!!!! like back-back!
I've got good news, and some things I'd like input on:
GOOD news - I've been able to update the 2023 PICK 6 group for 2024 so if you played last year, you should be already registered to play this year. Please check your status here Pick 6 2024
The password is #DRONES2JENNINGSfor6
CBS is also offering a "Confidence" option for your picks each week. In essence, you make your picks and assign the number of points 1-6 to place on that game. Is this something you'd be interested in? Let me know. There's currently 50 registered players, but if I get a sizeable response on here, I'm happy to make it a confidence pool. Choices will still be Against the Spread, as is tradition.
Based on the feedback, we're stick(it in)ing with each game is 1 point each. Thanks everyone!
Please update your display name to match your TKP handle to make the weekly performances easier to attribute to the responsibile parties.
LET'S GO!

In there. Thanks for doing this as always
In for the straight pool. If the confidence has enough support, could we do a second one so it's not the primary?
And as always, thank you for taking the torch. Love doing this each week.
This please.
First of all, thanks again for stepping up and doing this. It's been one of my favorite things each of the last several seasons.
I think we should keep it straight up. That said, if the majority want to do confidence picks I'll play along.
The message: "You're a little early. " comes up so I'm in.
Love you for getting this going again, it's always a great distraction.
I'll do either straight up or confidence, but I'll go w simplicity to have more players - straight up please.
Hell yes, happy to see this booted back up. I will do whatever, but I like the way we've been doing it with straight picks.
I'm ready to be at the top in the first 6 weeks to throw it all away after that just like the last 2 years!
We love your consistency!
Right now I'm tied for first and no one can take that away
"So say we all!"
Thanks for setting this up again. I prefer straight up but will play again either way.
Confidence can be fun, but prefer straight up for simplicity
Looks like I am back in and ready to lose again!
Echoing the general sentiment on confidence. I am not adamantly opposed, but would rather not.
I still have your trophy from last year. I will be in Bburg for marshall if you want to try to meet up.
That would be great. I can come to you or swing by Lot 3 and grab a bison slider.
Probably less dysfunctional to either use jsbrownpe@yahoo.com or 540-230-3728.
J.S. Brown
I should be able to swing through lot 3, unless I really get a late start.
Edit: I will message you
Don't forget to look for me for drinking backgammon!
Is backgammon a drink?
I'll be in lot 18 again for Marshall probably near the ropes course.
Meant playing backgammon as a drinking game as mentioned in King James' AMA https://www.thekeyplay.com/comment/1263726#comment-1263726
Look for a black Dodge Charger with two (or more) people in camp chairs behind it with open trunk, backgammon board opened on a cooler. Usually on the side near one of the entrances to Lot 18 midway between the rail where TKP lot 18 group is and the trees before you get to the ropes course. (Down back towards the Duck Pond from where I met you near your Jeep the one time.)
Nice, thanks for the context. I'll be honest, I'm not the best at following the AMAs. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.
I'm also on the rather keep it straight up boat. Remembering my picks for this league is hard enough.
My brain can barely handle straight up picks.....
Thanks for running this again.
I also would agree straight up is challenging enough.
Agree - straight up is easiest-particularly for us PROcrastinators who do picks at last moment most times lol
I'm kind of impressed that the feedback was unanimous. That's gotta be rare, right?
I wasn't gonna say anything but now you jinxed it 😂
For some that asked last season....
To change your name in the players list...
Go to account settings main menu.
Click on "Account Settings" Edit Settings button.
You can change your name to your screen name.....if you care to do so.
There is a confidence pool set up thru ESPN, where they pick the 10 games each week. (For The Key Play one, 2Hokiesin1 selects the games, and is the MAIN one that will be tracked and used for the Six Pick each week.)
