Posted May 23, 200520 yr comment_2235278 I am going to introduce a concept which I hope will become a monthly feature here at the forums. Here's the deal. Instead of just picking the winner in one sport or playoff, entrants will need to select winners of events across multiple sports. For the first month, there will be seven events. A correct prediction in each event garners a point. You have until midnight eastern on June 1st to enter. In the case of the NBA Finals, you may alter your pick as events warrent until the first of the month. June 4th MLS- Chivas USA @ Chicago NBA Finals Pick the NBA Champion. You have until June 1st to change your pick, which brings us to four games into each conference final. June 11th Horse Racing- Belmont Stakes Pick either Giacomo, Afleet Alex, or the field. Sunday June 12th NASCAR- Pocono 500 I'm not big on Nascar, but this event is held about five miles from my home. June 16th to 19th Golf- U.S. Open June 24th to 26th NY Mets @ NY Yankees (Best of Three) I would've taken the Chicago series, but this looks more competitive at the moment. June 25th Boxing- Arturo Gatti vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. Good luck to all.
May 23, 200520 yr comment_2235362 Oh Jesus... I really have no idea about some of these events, but I'm down. It should be interesting if anything else.

June 5, 200520 yr Author comment_2397694 Chicago defeats Chivas USA. Everyone except Dorian earns a point.
June 11, 200520 yr Author comment_2484805 Mik, Pinjockey, Treble, myself and Slasher earn a point for the Afleet Alex prediction. Tomorrow is the Pocono 500, and with such a wide field, anyone could steal a point. While we're at it, does anyone have any suggestions for improving next month's contest?
June 12, 200520 yr comment_2488277 I lose out already on the NBA prediction, but 2 for 3 ain't bad at all....
June 13, 200520 yr comment_2498537 June 4th MLS- Chivas USA @ Chicago NBA Finals San Antonio Spurs - too much for Larry B. and the Pistons Sunday June 12th NASCAR makes me sick to my stomach. Can their fans even spell NASCAR? June 16th to 19th Vijay Singh June 24th to 26th NY Mets @ NY Yankees (Best of Three) METS METS METS
June 13, 200520 yr Author comment_2498553 No one correctly predicted the Nascar race, so points remain the same.
