A question for pickem players (particularly the NBA contest): What is the latest a post should go up before games begin? I try for 24 hours or at least noon on gameday but sometimes that doesn't happen. This week I posted and emailed players 5 hours before tipoff of the first game.

When Joe Burrow starts picking out his game day street clothes

Ideally there'd be at least 12 hours, but I get that life happens.

I'm more likely to get bit by trying to put mine in shortly before tip-off (or kick-off, since it's been a couple of Thursday night NFL games that this has happened to me) and getting locked out from submitting even though the game doesn't start for another 30-45 minutes, but that's my own stubborn fault now that I know it's a thing.

I pretty reliably seem to be missing the early game on the day of the post. I would respectfully request 24 hours when possible.
