ditto on the question. it's a great feature of the board! fun to compare ourselves with others and see who wins each week.

it must not be an easy job for sure

there are every week a lot of participants

I can automate this process.
Here's how is would work.

I provide a post with a link to page where you sign on with user name from this forum and input your guess for the week. You can change it whenever you want until the cutoff time.
You will be able to view all guesses that have been made.

When game is over results should be available almost immediately and can
be posted here.

If Alamo want to do it that is fine but I need to know soon.
I will need a few evenings to do this.

JR4, that's a generous offer. Alamo has done a great job. Seems like he should have first dibs. But, given the work involved, he might be more than ready to hand it off!

it seems Alamo will manage it again

Glad everyone likes the contest! I just posted the week 1 contest.

Frankly, a couple of days ago the tone of too many threads here was so vicious that I couldn't imagine staying around this forum all year, but I got over it. Everyone's nice comments helped. JR4, thanks for the offer to take over but I like the idea keeping the contest entries completely on the forum, and last year I developed some tools of my own to reduce the time it took me. If I ever need to give it up I'll let you know to see if you are still willing.
