2008-2009 Nuggets Prediction Contest 

Post#1 » by corona » Tue Oct 14, 2008 3:31 am

First off - we apologize the 07-08 contest got deleted. I didn't realize the board upgrade was going to be made at that time, and I didn't realize it would obliterate the database from before January 1st '08. To prevent that from happening again for any reason I plan to backup this years version in a word document and save it on my hard drive and a cd.

The thread will be locked and all entries closed on October 28th around 8pm est. You're free to edit your responses up until that point.

Please copy and paste the questions into your answers, it makes it much easier to score at the end of the season. It also helps if you make your answers a different color or make them bold, but that's not mandatory by any means.

If you have any questions about a question and want me to clarify how it will be scored feel free to ask in this thread. In almost all cases I'll go with 'qualified' leaders in statistical categories. For instance Nene may go 1/2 from 3 this season on heaves from halfcourt and thus shoot 50%, but I wouldn't count it because its such a limited quantity.

Thanks. Enjoy & good luck.
