Season 2 is almost upon us. We started out strong last season, with 23 participants in our first week, had upwards of 30 at one point, and finished with a bit of a whimper as participation waned. There seem to be some new faces in the crowd that might be interested in playing ... so as info to them, and a refresher to those wishing to continue playing from last season, here are the rules: How to play: Each Wednesday, for eight weeks, 15 caterogies/questions will be posted. You send a PM to me with your answers (don't include the questions please) to all 15 categories by noon on Friday of that same week. The goal is not to answer the questions correctly, but to guess what will be the most popular answer. (Example: if the category is "Best Player in MLS" and you think the correct answer is David Beckham, but you think everyone on the Philly board would say Juan Pablo Angel, then you should answer Juan Pablo Angel as well.) Scoring: The weekly winner will get the same number of points as people who entered the game that week. If 25 people played then the winner would get 25 points. Second place would be worth 24 points, third would be worth 23 points, last would be worth 1 point, etc. First place will also receive a 5 point bonus for the win. These points will be accumulated throughout the 8-week season and whoever scores the most will win the league. Players accumulate points over the entire season and then we have standings based off of it. There will be tiered divisions like European soccer with promotion and relegation (depending on the number of active participants). There is also a Cup tournament for each season. The top 4 players from each of the leagues all qualify for a Champions League, currently happening in MLS: General. So, if you're interested in participating, please reply in this thread, and we'll look to start up Season 2 next Wednesday, September 10th.
Which makes one wonder, what is the Sheep equivalent of a back-heel? Oh, and I'm in. Someone needs to knock JT from his double-holding throne and I'm just the guy to fall short of that goal.
I guess I'll play again this season since I did well last time. The only problem is that I've left myself only one direction to go !

i don't want to assume anything ... you know what happens when you do that. ASS-U-ME ... and no, it's not sexual.
