I can offer up a donator account on the site, a forum "award", and probably a Bears T-Shirt or Jersey or something. I'll know what kind of funds I have to work with near the end of it. But I will definitely give something of that nature to this.

Wow you are awesome man. You have done a great job here. It is great to see the difference between the CBMB and here. Had I known, I would have come here ASAP.

EDIT: I am in :)

I'm down. Sounds fun. Great idea! I really think u should make us choose a spread to even the odds and so that we don't have a 50 way tie. Anyone can pick the Pats over theRams...but Pats -15 is a different story and takes some thinking.

Probably from my Australian upbringing. Born and raised up near Chicago but moved to Australia when I was 12 years old. Did all my schooling over there before moving back to the US a few years ago. Over there it is called 'Tipping' :p I guess over here it is called 'Pick'em'. I spell some words wrong too ;)

And,

For everyone who has expressed interest. Thank you. I will try to get this setup this week. I am working with Rush to organise this and get it started. I will get a "How to Play' thread up, explaining the rules and processes and also a "Sign-up" thread where everyone can sign up and I can get a list of people down.

Thank you for showing interest. I will do the best I can to keep everything up to date and make it easy to get your tips in and keep an accurate record. Good luck to everyone who joins!

Why not run it thru a website? Last year I was the regular season champ. Lost the title on playoff games. Is it going to be run on like yahoo/espn? Will spreads count? Any confidence attached?

Oh and I am in.

What does a website offer that can't easily be run through the site? Instead of clicking buttons, all you are going to have to do is list who you think is going to win. Yeah, other people will be able to see your picks and copy you, lol. But, this is something I like to run and keep track of. Plus, by running it through the site, not only will the winner get some kind of prize but a trophy for their awards showcase.

It might be a little harder to get the picks in, having to type them out and showing everyone your picks. But, it is not hard to run and I can make it unique with features that aren't run on other sites. Including a game of the week, chosen by me, or by my dice really, and other things.

This will be a regular season event. Playoffs will only be involved if there is a tie at the end.
