[onlooker]

So I start at 2 points if I post up? Even though I had 3 in race 1?

[avssakic]

fine by me if you keep your 3......

[Optional]

No, you keep whatever points you have earned.

"Anyone new, who didn't make picks for this race"

The idea is to let non-regulars, who have not picked at all, join the chase pool late and still stand a fighting chance. (or any stragglers who missed this week because I posted it late)

And I'll add you to the list a soon as you say the word. No need to post the points first.

[hawk 5]

Finally did better than +3.

[onlooker]

Ok Optional. I read that wrong. LOL!

Good time to do it hawk.

[Optional]

Finally did better than +3.

Yep. And leading after the first lap!

I bet picking a few race winners becomes really important by the end.

[avssakic]

tight battle, should be interesting to see how it plays out

[hawk 5]

Hell, looker, you best jump in, your hot.

[Optional]

Oops. Forgot onlooker hadn't given the word. Fixed the table.

[onlooker]

I keep forgetting. I almost missed yesterdays race. I had to pick on the fly, and surprised I did so well. Hey Opt., can you PM me a reminder later tonight if isn't a problem. Thanks.

[onlooker]

I'm in.

[hawk 5]

Yeah, last week I thought I would give this 110% and really dig hard. I get a 2. Looker just gets in and puts little time on it and hits 4.

Long way to go. Going to be fun to see how everyone does from week to week.

[Optional]

That makes 900 Points.

And at least 33% of us will win a prize. Nice.

I'll put the matchups up early this week, and hopefully we will get a 10th to round it out to an even 1000.


Do you guys think we should add a Holiday Pass rule in case we can't make it to pick for one race? Maybe give everyone one chance at missing a race, and you get the same as the lowest score that week?

And does anyone and want to volunteer to put the game up if I don't do it for any reason 1 week?
