    Same rules as last year

    You can turn in your predictions at any point before May 15th in the sim.

    The winner will get to create a rookie, as last year.

    I found the official rules in the 2k6 thread:

    1. Your predictions for the division winners and wild cards. You get 1 point for every correct prediction. Two points for the WS winner.

    2. Your predictions for the post season awards here. You'll get 1 point for every correct prediction, except RoY... since this is sooo difficult, you'll get 2 for this one.

    3. Your prediction for the All-Star winner. 1 point

    4. Your prediction for our league leaders for avg, home runs, RBI, wins, ERA, and saves. 1/2 point for every correct prediction. (Both AL & NL)

    5. Tie breaker: Your prediction for our ccnet baseball sim league Tank-a-thon 2k6 champion.

    Then also added was the extra question

    Castor and SamCassell tied in our prediction contest. Hence, we'll have a tie break in which they both guess something that only I can see.

    The question is: How much run support did Justin Duchsherer receive? Justin was 10-12 despite having a nice 3.97 ERA. He played for the World Series champion Arizona Diamondbacks. Deadline for answering this question is 4:15pm central time on Sunday.

    Poor Duch! His world series ring should ease the pain.

    I'm going to guess 3.5 runs per nine innings.

    I am going to guess 3.51 only because I think it is a little higher than 3.5. If i win I want my player to be named Reece Kemp and be a left handed 3B.

    Castor won the sim league challenge..

    sorry for the tough loss... as a runner up prize, you can give any player in the draft any nick-name you want.
