Sup y'all...I want to see if we can get a 13 run baseball pool going this year. For those of you not familiar here is how it works.

We will need 30 people to join, one for each baseball team. Once all 30 have signed up I will pick your MLB team out of a hat and that is the team you are assigned too.

The object is to have your team score from 0 to 13 runs throughout the course of the season starting on opening day, which is March 31, 2013. It does not matter if your team wins or loses the game, just their total runs matter. For example, you have the Tigers and they lose 9-4, the number 4 gets crossed off the grid. Tomorrow they win 11-3, the number 11 gets crossed off the grid and so on until the Tigers score everywhere from 0 -13 runs.

The first team to do this wins. There will also be payouts to the 2nd and 3rd fastest teams to do this as well.

We will use this site to track the runs by team

http://www.13runspool.com/index.html

The buy in is a decent 5er and the payouts will be

1st place gets 15ers
2nd place gets 9 5ers
3rd place get 6 5ers

I will let the majority decide if you would prefer me to collect and hold the buy ins up front like I did with fantasy football, dont matter to me either way.

Ok so please reply if you are in and what your preference is with the buy ins.

No preference as far as the buy ins. Either way works for me.

Sounds like fun, count me in. The winner gets 15 5'ers, correct? Let's send when the winners are determined.

How about we do a prize alteration to add some interest earlier in the season? Reduce each prize by one 5'er, and award a 5'er to the player with the team that hits 13 runs first, 12 runs first and 11 runs first? Those players would then be off the hook for their buy-in.

What's a decent 5er?

And I also like turtles.

After I read this I thought if there was some chance that no team hit every score then we should just give our 5ers to the troops. I highly doubt this will happen, seems like a longshot. However wouldn't it be fun it the troops ahd a team also so if there team were to win then we would all send to the troops.

I'll make a suggestion....

If someone makes an unsolicited suggestion on someone else's contest thread, they send a 5er to the troops.

I'll get my 5er ready for pending approval.

Thanks for the contest, LetsRock.
