    Alright folks, 37 players. This should be fun.

    REMINDER

    The first game is this Thursday, so make sure you get your selections in before kickoff. Good luck everyone!

    Congrats to SePaMc on his impressive week 1 win. I don't think we will see many 14-game winners this year. Well deserved.

    Holy shit really? There are going to be some pissed off delivery drivers going to the winner's house!

    It has been brought to my attention that it might be more fun and interesting to have the weekly winners shipped immediately. More pictures of hauls, better variety of beer, etc. My rationale in waiting was to ensure a mix of beers from different areas of the country go to the winners, as well as to possibly combine small and medium boxes when possible to minimize shipping costs for as many people as possible, since some of the season winners are likely to be weekly winners as well. I'll put it up to an informal vote. Ship weekly? Or wait til the season is over?

    I'm a fan of shipping weekly since we'd see stuff getting moved more often, and the beers would change based on specialties available, seasonals available, etc. versus everyone getting beer together in January. But I do see how assigning who ships before the winner could cause lackluster hauls if it's the same distro.

    Maybe after the week assign who's sending based on where the winner is, and give them a week or 2 to ship out barring any obstacles? That could increase the workload on you, but I think there's some solutions and if I can help in any way, I'd be up for it. There's a chance at the end you may only have the same state left and that's where the winner is-- then the winner may get weaker hauls, but I feel like that's a small risk.

    We all signed up with the terms being we'd ship 2 boxes, so I don't think waiting to combine is that big of a deal, especially since not everyone wouldn't get that same luxury.

    My $0.02.

    Each weekly winner gets 2 small boxes.

    1st -15
    2nd -11
    3rd -7
    4th -1 (and remaining extra 4 small boxes)

    Well the "bigger" boxes will be able to be chosen for distro and such at the end anyways, so it's only the 4 small boxes to worry about then. I vote weekly.

    Weekly. Otherwise this thread is going to be pretty boring for the next 3 months.

    Alright. Weekly it is. I'm gonna assign shippers each week rather than use the losers. I will ship this week, along with wittyname.

    Weekly....oh you already said that...was gonna volunteer to ship early, hit me with anyone who is not a Steelers fan! If I have to ship to a Steelers fan i might just take a dump in a bag and throw it on the truck! If I have to ship to a Ravens fan it might be empty bottles with a note that says, "steal my team, I'll steal your beer!"

    Go Browns!
