Vindy sent an email today to returning members, and picks appear to be open for week 2 as well.

In addition, since the members and groups carry over from year to year on there, I'll boot all of the members in the group from 2010 who didn't come back after a week or two (that way I know they're out of it). That way we don't have to scroll through a bunch of 0's to see how everyone did.

GoPens, that's only because you're an endless supply of high school sports information

Week 1 results are in, and I removed anyone with a score of 0 from the group. I assume those people were in it in 2010 but chose not to return.

If you simply missed week 1 and want back in, just send another request. Instructions are in the first post here

2 people in the group had a perfect 20 this past week. Who was it? Come and brag! (names on there don't match names on here)

Most everyone had at least a 17. I had 18.

I had 19, missed on Niles over Liberty. After they struggled so much against a bad Cleveland City school, I figured Liberty would take care of the Red Dragons. Good for Niles!

Spread All Day, same struggle here.
