[Hawkeye]

Should we pick outright winners only this year or keep the following Bonus points?
Hi-Low Bonus Points (1 point each) - Pick the 2 games with the "highest" and the "lowest" winning point margins

[Virus_g6n]

Will you be providing the list of games for the week? It'd be kind of hard to keep track of all the games

If so, I'm in

Yes!
I do all the work each and every week including posting all weekly games every Sunday and updating all contestants point totals each week, etc. I post the winners of all weekly games and updated point totals each week so there is a continuous record of all weekly activities.
Thanks for asking.
P.S. - We only pick on average 10 games per week!
