Hey folks! Since the NFL Season is right around the corner I wanted to announce a fun little contest that I am running. The rules are pretty basic.
You pick which team you think will win each game every week.
Picks must be made on the Yahoo Pick-em league website
You must make your picks at least 5 minutes before the start time of each game.
You get one point for each correct pick you make.
Ties are determined by choosing the scores of two pre-determined games and and highest and lowest scoring teams each week (see the bottom of the pick listings for where to put in these choices).
The person with the most correct picks at the end of the regular season wins the championship.
Official rules are listed here:

Now for the prizes
I've got four pieces of art that I'm going to put up for prizes. 1st place will get first choice, 2nd place will get the second choice, 3rd place gets third choice and the remaining piece will be given out via random drawing at the end of the season.
However, to be eligible for this drawing, you must participate every week. This is just to hopefully keep people participating all season.
Additionally, in the unlikely event that some one picks all games correctly in a non-bye week (16 games), I will send that person a special prize to be determined. If more than one person in a week accomplishes this feat, I will pull names from a hat to determine who gets the prize.
If you are interested, let me know by posting in this thread. I'll PM the invite to everyone that wants in.
Now for the prizes...
White Queen by Mitch Foust (11x17)
Scarlet by Michael Dooney (11x14)
Silver Surfer and Nova by Mark Brown and Peter Temple (18x24 HUGE!)
Hulk by Todd Nauck (sketch on comic backing board)
Last year I ran one of these in the Aussie Thread and Rocket Rod strolled away with the 1st prize (an Aussie... go figure...LOL), Steve (touche22) got 2nd and Paddy (vinreaper... Where are you brother?) wound up winning the random drawing.
Hopefully Rod will join in to defend the crown!
Let's have some fun guys!
