Once people realize they aren't going to win (or if they miss weeks), they usually stop playing. And we start with like 50 people.

If it was for money, we'd have significantly less people, and the issue of missing a week, or being far behind won't go away. So we'll still have people eventually stop because they have no chance of winning. Except in this case, there'd be even less people at the end.

If 10 strong people wanted to play for money, I'd be down.

Either way, I'm in.

Yeah, we're at 18 right now. Surprised that the turnout is lower. You're right, 51, last year was over 40, and it was like 50-60 the year before that.

Are most people just not on CCS anymore?

it could bump to 40 for week 1.

I always liked when the program dropped the worst week, which for most of us is a pass for the inevitable miss, or to increase enrollment through week 1.

I also think in past years this thread spent some time in the Bears forum main page, more visibility?

Lots of people banned and probably not as much traffic yet. Should be picking up soon I would think. Maybe there will be a rush of people join week 1.

Half the people that usually participate are banned. But it's okay, this forum greatly benefits from extended timeouts and censorship.

Not gonna lie, all those bans made me lose a lot on interest in this place. I don't think I logged in for like 6 months.
