    Realize the possibility of this is slim, but what if you win the week you are assigned to ship?

    One possible solution is to let the weekly winner pick who ships to them and just cross those people off the list for future weeks. That may also help to some with getting beers from a distro you want...though obviously options at the end will be limited.

    I'm down for weekly shipping btw.

    It won't be tough to bump someone by a week if they win. And even if it's the last week, luckily there's 4 extra small boxes going to the 4th place winner, so we can swap one of those people in to ship to the weekly winner.

    Just stay flexible guys, as shippers and receivers!

    I'm going to assign shippers after the weekly winner is announced. So wittyname and I are shipping to sepamc. Next weeks shippers will be assigned once we have a winner for this week.

    How's everyone looking? I wish yahoo would post scores as games end. I've surpassed my total from last week with 20 pts on the line tonight and tomorrow.

    If you do group picks you can see the current score....though yeah, it doesn't show overall. I'm still knocking on the door, but I don't think I'm gonna get this week.

    Damn the niners/seahawks matchup.

    You needed PIT to win. I was rooting for that since I would have stayed in first overall. Oh well. Still in second with this week's winner nipping at my heels. Congrats Summer!

    Wait I'm not thrilled with the idea of shipping weekly.

    Since we don't know the people who will win each week, it screws stuff up. I think that it could make this thread more interesting but it also has a higher likelihood of the person who wins one week feeling screwed because of same distro or something like that.

    So if there's still a possibility to vote, I vote against weekly.

    Sorry nathanmiller. The decision was made to ship weekly. I will be assigning shippers on a weekly basis to try to make sure distro overlap is as small as possible. We have a pretty even spread across the country, with a slight bias toward more midwest people. I will be jumping on this grenade this week, selecting a fellow midwesterner to ship to myself.

    Thanks for letting me win a week every one! TysonA and RayOhioFelton will ship to me

    I don't mind shipping weekly, but there should be a systematic way of choosing the shippers.

    Like maybe 2 lowest of the week? If someone is lowest and already sent, then goes to the next lowest( If he didn't send yet). Just a suggestion.

    Matching a different distro and matching wants to gots should work fine. If I win a week I'll be happy with whatever I get. Even if it is a bourbon county vanilla. I'll just deal with it.
