Yes! I would like to defend my last place finish.

No, no, we MUST play again this year, I was breathing down Bill B's neck last year and I plan on catching him this year. But, now that you mentioned it, I haven't seen Alamo around in a long time.

Yup.. Last Activity: 01-18-2006. Damnit if he doesn't come back we'll need someone to take over. Alamo did an excellent job with it last year, who's good with spreadsheets?

bump, I missed the first few weeks last year so i got left out on the title chase but was very interesting...anyone?

Alamos been MIA for months. With the amount of new members here, it would probably be very time consumming to run one of those contests this year. Having lost to Shakadave buy only a few points, I'd love to get my revenge!

I'm okay with them, and would like to be able to give something back to this site...but I'm not clear what's involved (have never been in this specific type of contest).

A typical week starts with a post like this, seeking everyone's predictions (comentary and discussion discouraged to make it easier to gather the data for the score keeper) :
Predict the Score Contest, Week 16 Patriots @ Jets

Then the results are tabluated for that week, AND cumulative throughout the season. As in here: Predict the Score Contest, Week 16 Results

The total cumulative only has to be taken care of for people that are in from Week 1... and usually a few drop off every week, taking them out of the total competition, so the number of people you have to keep track of for the season standings gets smaller and smaller as the season goes on.

Yes - Alamo is not here since January

let's hope he will be back this coming week

last year he made a very good job for many of us

i made a good championship too

I will volunteer to get something together if no one else will do it.

I just don't want to spend the time if someone else is going to do it.
