Great work all season, xman. Thank you.

Thanks for all your hard work over the year in running the contests Xman, and Blue also to Lazamzi or loochag? who ran one or two contests and anyone else that ran a contest.

Congratz to Lumazi for being the best tipper for the year.

I'm going to add a new kind of trophy for the overall winner and runner ups and clear the small trophies at the end of the year.

I will also start a thread on idea's to improve the contests for next year.

Another type of contest is one that is paramutual based. Each week you have a certain amount of play dollars to bet. Payouts are similar to a horse racing paramutual system. The winner is the person that makes the most money that week. The season winner is the one that ends up with the most money at the end of the year.

The scoring though is a bit complicated. We have done something like that before.

There are also are systems where you make a few picks on some sort of criteria at the start of the tournament and nothing after. I think those are too simple.

I like the way we do the tournaments because it involves you in the actual LPGA event from start to finish and there is some thought involved. But the drawback to some people is that you have to make picks on friday and sat night and sometimes timing is an issue.

Also to make it easier on the scorers

, possible 2somes instead of 3somes. This would also make the scoring closer.

Thanks for running the contests. I always have fun with them.
Hope all of you have a great end of the year.

I was thinking of real dollars as well if there is any interest. Maybe 5 dollars for the whole season and the winner of the year and runners up get a prize. or 50 cents per contest and the winner gets a prize. Golf balls? a towel? maybe some of the members here that attend the lpga tournaments cougar, rice could pick up an lpga shirt or buy a souvenir and we could use that as a prize. This might be a bit difficult for the youngsters though.

Rusty, I would be willing to pick up some items at LPGA tournaments for you to use as prizes.
