[Beerracuda]

After 17 weeks, it's hard to believe, but we actually have a tie.

Congratulations to our co-winners, Gone64 and Lot"H"Tailgater for having a brilliant season! Way to go guys!!

Also, congratulations go out to Greg and RockyMRaven for perfect 5-0 records this week. Additional congrats to Greg for having back to back 5-0 weeks!

Finally, I'd like to send out a big Thank You for all of those who participated in the contest this year! It was my pleasure to host this contest for the board, and that I hope many will participate in the Post-Season contest, which should be on the board shortly. Again, thanks to all.

[Greg]

Thanks Bruce for the good work.

If you want to run it next year I will have software for you to track with. It will give you the bonus of helping you pick games for information purposes only, of course.

[Beerracuda]

You're very welcome, Greg. And sure, I'll run it next year as well, and would welcome any software you might have to help out. And it wasn't too bad running it this year though, since the amount of participants was fairly low. The biggest pain was always adjusting the standings each week, which would've been frightful if there were a lot of participants.

So anyway, I'll check with you in August regarding the software. Thanks.

Thanks for doing it Bruce. It made my week and kept my interest in the other games.

[Gone64]

Thank you for doing this every week! I do a football pool also and I know it gets tiresome! And I don't have near the players that you did!

[FellsPointRaven]

Cheers Bruce for your hard work on this. It was fun (though I had 35 losses, not 45!).

Picky picky picky!!

Ok, I fixed it. Sorry 'bout that!

[Greg]

Thank you for doing this every week! I do a football pool also and I know it gets tiresome! And I don't have near the players that you did!

The basic software for handling what you guys do is done and I have the architecture and much of what is needed for the other piece is in place. I could set up a web-based version that would allow several leagues to be used at one time, both college and pro. AAMOF, I have already set it up to run several pick leagues at once.

I used to participate in one that ran week-to-week and we would bet $5 or $10 each. There were about a dozen of us and if 9-10 or more picked one way it almost always was a winner. Some players are obviously weaker than others, so that could factor in. Then you have the traditional stuff, like history in certain weather, away or home, inside or out, night games, etc. Capturing the info is easy enough, sifting through it to see what has merit is another. Again, just for informational purposes.

[RockyMRaven]

Thanks for your great work on this. I enjoyed making the picks, especially in my two 5-0 weeks! Big ups for getting the results out so promptly as well.

[RopeRaven]

Thanks, Beerracuda, for all the time and effort you put into this. I enjoyed making my picks each week and then seeing how I did. I'll be looking forward to next season's contest.
