Great idea Azariah.

My only suggestion is that I fear this may turn into a war of attrition. The ones that do not miss a match will have the advantage. I foresee myself probably missing a couple. I can set my lineups far in advance but not the predictions. I'm not sure if there is a way to prevent this without changing the scoring to be percentage based and offering bonus points for margin of victory that ultimately would be the tie breaker (kind of like PD).

I plan on participating regardless, but I thought I would throw a suggestion out there. You can tell me to go to hell if you want to and I won't be offended. lol It's YOUR contest after all.

We'll see how things go, but I definitely plan to have plenty of bonus points and NT-related predictions too.

In order to be a member of the USA offsite forum, one must be an American manager, so participation will be limited to American teams. If there's enough interest, I'm willing to post the matches on this forum as well, but my prize will be limited to people who are participating via the offsite forum.

And, with the release of next season's leagues and fixtures, our first week's matches have been chosen. The order of leagues has been randomized for the entire year, so if you want to complain about the league selections, feel free to vent at the myriad random number generators available on the Intarwebs...
