    A few FYIs for those interested...

    • The league has been created at Yahoo!. Once you let me know the beer you're putting into the pot, I'll send along the group # and password via BM.
    • In previous years the pick deadline has been before kickoff of the first game, which meant we typically lost someone the first time a Thursday night game was scheduled. For this year I've set it up so that the deadline is always 1pmET on Sunday (unless, of course, you want to take a team that is playing on Thursday).
    Good luck all!

    Not sure if Bramble Rye would work but I'm in if it does. Can find something else if I have to as well.

    If this is still open, I'd like to toss my hat into the ring. Darkness or a Syx.

    Are you still trying to get a few more into this bad boy? Pot looks good. Hopefully a couple more ba's sign up!

    I don't want it getting too much bigger, though we can take a couple more if there's interest. I probably will cap this at 20.

    I'd like to participate, but what happens if there are like 6 people standing by the end? Is that even possible?

    It could happen, but is VERY unlikely. The only time I have ever seen it happen, there were two people left out of a group of around 70 people.

    First box arrived today! Thanks to MJC8719 for an awesome box and some sweet extras - WOW! He had a head start on shipping since he had my info from previous trades we've completed, and as always he really out did himself with this box. Thanks again!

    Still can't believe I won this thing in 3 weeks. What a crazy first few weeks of the season it's been.

    Everyone be sure to keep an eye on the IT Forward forum because I plan on LIFing some beer soon to return the beer karma and spread the beer wealth!

    EDIT: Hmmm, can't figure out how to post the picture, but I'm going to work on it and get it up here soon. For the time being, I'll just tell you that in addition to the Lou Pepe Kriek (2008) that was the beer MJC8719 entered in the pool, he also sent a Cantillon Classic Geuze, Duck-Rabbit Baltic Porter and Ballast Point Victory at Sea!
