    With Training Camp just around the corner and our first pre-season game not far away, its time to start thinking about the predictions game again.

    I'll be doing my annual Predictions Game Rules in the next few days (or perhaps I'll wait a week just to make sure it is fresh on people's minds as we start the pre-season).

    Look forward to y'all participating again and good luck. :ghoti:

    If you make two predictions prior to game time, this will null and void the first prediction . . . making the second prediction now your first prediction . . . except for weekend games, then your first prediction stands regardless of how many subsequent predictions you make. :D

    As mentioned, I'll post a detailed explanation in a few days but the basic gist is that prior to game time, you predict the final score of the game and based on whether you predicted the right team to win, the total point differential, and the team you picked to win point differential, rankings are established. Cumulative rankings are also kept and we have monthly winners, half-season winners and a full-season winner.

    It is kinda fun. Been doing it for quite some time.

    Looking forward to it, Gramps. Too bad you had to dumb it down last year so that Laker fans could play. ;)
