We'll probably have to give some kind of award for the category winners to keep things interesting...If you missed game 1 and/or game 2, you can still play for individual game wins and records as well as the highest average per game.  If you haven't joined in yet, please do!

Good Luck Bulls!

As with previous years' contests, Bulliever is the final judge on all entries.  He will select the winner based on pre-established criteria.   All decisions are final, unless Bulliever changes his mind.  Finally, Bulliever will only refer to himself in the third person when typing in small print.
