    Another great piece of advice, and maybe the most important. For the New Newbies, please consider adding lots and lots of beers to your wants on here. When targets are assigned, your sender will be checking your want list just like a Boozy Santa Claus to see what you'd like and if they have it or can acquire it. Put some crazy beers on there for sure because hey, you never know right but also include lots of variety to make it easier to fill a box.

    A good Pro Tip is to look at the list of everyone participating in the round and where they're located in the country. If you are a new guy from Ohio, maybe you haven't had many beers from MN, or TX, or FL, or CA or wherever so be sure to do some research and add some great beers from those areas. If you'd like an example, check out my wants I try to keep a big list of random things on there and I do an excellent job of copying from my man @Houser who is always up-to-speed!

    I'm in. Haven't worked out the details but I hope to venture over to Tampa on Friday for a share or two then party all day Saturday.

    I hear you dude, what a let down this season. Zampesi reminds me of Bratkowski already, terrible......

    I would love to participate in round 6 if you all will have me.

    I was going to say that @KyleDavis could be my sponsor, but I'm not sure I want to be associated with him. @Yourahoser might also be able to vouch for me... Oops, I guess I'm not getting off on the right foot by associating myself with those degenerates so never mind. I'm new, have several trades under my belt, and don't know anyone else.

    Although @Eziel rocked the hints and help topics, if your new to this BIF, post your Untappd username if you use that as well to log beers. Helps your sender see what you've had if you don't update BA as often.

    Trying to convince a buddy in town to join in on these shenanigans. @tchabot91

    He's been around the trading block (got plenty of trades on Reddit) and I'll sponsor him on here. More NC beer!

    Thought I would say Hi....was going to wait until I got over 5 trades but the weather gods have slowed down the shipping lanes to Iowa as of late(had a couple weeks of sub zero crap), but of course as of typing this it is a balmy 23 degrees....haha

    Excited to be in on this round as well. Followed this for years and always liked the idea of it. Now its time to start gathering some beers and amassing stuff from someone's want list.

    I'll be cheering for Big Ben to score a lot of points this week if that counts.

    Raider fan here. Not a division rival, so may not help balance things out here. Hahaha

    Came home from work yesterday and was greeted by 2 boxes.

    Box1 - A "small" thank you box from @beluga92 for doing a GPIUFMB, which I also requested some Trillium for a buddy.

    Box 2 - A GPIUFMB bro +small trade from the FL crew @HeartofMiami @CBrodbeck and @maljay26. I asked for some FB to fill my lack of checkins. I believe there is some return fire from a ninja box I sent too.
