Alright, the guys that played last year should be able to rejoin the league.  PM me if you have an issue.  If you are interested in playing and have not before, PM me and I will send a password.

This was last years setup, I assume everyone would like to play at the same stakes.

Set up:

 I will start a private ESPN Pick'em league. All you do is pick the 10 games they provide, once a week. Not much time invested.

 The buy-in is $10. At the end of the season, the winner gets a gift card for the pot. Pretty simple.

 Last year, and I think we should continue this, I placed four checkpoints. Each quarter of the season was an independent contest, about 4 weeks of picks. Everyone sends a fiver of sticks to the checkpoint winner. Each of the four checkpoints is an independent contest.

 The quarters will run the following weeks (updated for 2015).

 Weeks 1-3
 Weeks 4-6
 Weeks 7-9
 Weeks 10-13

I've got a great cigar collection - it's actually not a collection, because that would imply I wasn't going to smoke every last one of 'em.
