Whitley Kay Pool

We will be guessing what time she will be born, whomever gets the closest wins. Brittany gets to go first since she is birthing the baby, from there it's first come first serve. After this is open for 24 hours I will repost and give everyone another opportunity to get in on the first round, they will have 12 hours to respond. After this we will have the 2nd round choices. For our night time posters, if you want to PM me your 1st and 2nd round choices I will take them at one time, and plug them in on your turn.
Brit is scheduled to be induced on November 3rd, she has to be at the hospital at 12:30am Monday night/Tuesday morning. She could go into labor before this, but this is the scheduled induction time.
It is 11:05am (your time) you have 1 hour to ask any questions or make any modifications.

Re: Whitley Kay Pool

  • So are we guessing the date and the time?  Or just the time of day, any date?

    Also, is it closest time without going over?  i.e. if I guess 5:30 and you guess 5:40 and she's born at 5:32, do you win since you were closer without passing up the time or do I win since I was only 2 min off?

    So are we guessing the date and the time?  Or just the time of day, any date? just time, so if she goes into labor before her induction we will stick with the same times. Because of this we have 2 rounds

    Also, is it closest time without going over?  i.e. if I guess 5:30 and you guess 5:40 and she's born at 5:32, do you win since you were closer without passing up the time or do I win since I was only 2 min off? Nope we'll do closest time, there won't be a tie

    i am unable to accept this, since it is not yet 12:05. I will start a whole new thread though. I will accept Britt's answer since we know she is first.

    Everyone gets a turn, or at least the opportunity to have a turn, then in order people get to choose again.

    What?  I am seriously confused by this.  Why do I have to wait until 12:05 to give my guess?  I thought Brit went first and then whoever guessed after that...I waited until she guessed!  And why do people get to guess twice?  You get one guess!  There's no re-guessing!

    This is the most complicated baby pool I have ever participated in.

    Of course it's complicated I'm doing it! In my original post I said we needed to wait an hour so everyone had a fair chance to ask any questions. Then I will start a new post and everyone can post their guesses.

    MT, this is dumb.  Stop being so damn complicated.  Here's how it should go:

    Everybody gets to pick a date, time & weight.  When your date and time that you guess passes with no Whitley in sight, you're out of the running.

    Once she is born, we have a winner for the date & time and a winner for the weight.

    I say we give 48 hours for guesses since not everyone signs on once a day.  And I know for a fact she is not having that baby anytime before Wed.  Once the 48 hours is up, no more guesses are accepted.

    Doesn't that sound much less complicated than 563 rounds of guessing?

  • i am anxiously awaiting my chance to put in my time and weight guess.
  • It's two rounds only, and if you want to do it, you can do it and we'll do it your way, otherwise we're doing it my way.

     Is this our first fight? I feel like once this is resolved we should hug.

    I'd rather not steal your baby pool since it was your idea (and a great one, might I add).  But must you be so complicated?  This is why Northerners have a bad name!!!

    I still lurve you of course.  I'll send you a hug when this is all said and done with.
