2012 MotoGP Pool - Anyone Interested?

[Uwe W.]

I'm curious if anyone in the Mojo Forum would be interested in participating in a MotoGP pool. The first race of the season starts April 5, so everything would have to be set up before then. It's short notice, but I've been busy and the start date is coming up faster than I realised.

The pool is simple. I'll set up a few categories with similarly talented riders and you have to pick one rider from each group. After each race I tally the points and post them here for everyone to follow. Your score - and position in the pool - is determined by how well the riders you picked do. You don't have to be a MotoGP guru to join in and have fun. In fact, the last time I ran this pool my wife won (she was the only one, if I remember right, to have picked Lorenzo the year he won the Championship). Best of all it's free; I'm sure that Mojo will pitch in a prize or two for the winner(s).

I'll only set it up if there are enough people interested. I'd like to see at least a dozen join, which for this young forum might end up being a stretch. I'll have to make sure my wife joins in so that we have a defending Champion.

If your'e interested, just reply to this thread that you're in.

[Black Lightning]

Sure, I'd be up for that.

[Go_Green]

I'm in! Already been counting down the days to the race in Qatar.

[Ancient Priest]

(My message is too short, I have to write some words.) When did I ever have trouble writing words words words...?

[Malks]

Hell Yeah! Count me in Uwe. And yes Mayla won the last one by not choosing Rossi.

[slomoshun]

I`m in. So with Mayla and yourself that makes seven. we`ll get there.
I seem to remember that Mayla only posted once last time and that was to file her picks. I would expect more public appearances from a reigning champion.
slo.

[marconi1956]

I don't follow or know much about GP, but it sounds like fun. Much like the Nascar pool I'm in.

[Zoom]

Same here! but I am willing to try also. So watch out because this Guy aka Zoom <<< has beginners luck.

[Uwe W.]

Um, let's see, I think we're up to 9 now (including Mrs. W. who hasn't signed up yet). A few more will get the ball rolling. Operators are standing buy. Ask for pledge special with every $500 contribution you receive a "Best of Guy Lombardo" CD.

[Gerhard]

If knowledge of the events is not a prerequisite count me in as well.
