I'm ok with this idea. Take the top 6-10 people and reset scores?

I'm very much NOT okay with that idea (aside from the fact that I'm winning). What's the point? If that's how you want to do it, you might as well just say that anyone in the top XX at the end of the season will be put in a hat, maybe with the top few getting extra chances over the rest, and then the winner will be drawn at random. If it's going to be a "skill contest", leave it as a skill contest and make the scores from the whole time count. Otherwise, it should have been announced as a random contest at the beginning.

That's true, but for anyone more than like 40-50 points behind, there's no use even being involved any more, which I'd assume was the point of this contest to begin with. I'm fine either way, but I'm just gonna keep making terrible picks because I have no reason not to, ha.

Well, I understand wanting to give peeps way behind something to pick. And if you want to split off one of the prizes for a second-pick prize, or if you want to come up with an additional prize for the "reset scores", I'm down with that. But it just seems extremely unfair to Curry and myself if the rules get yanked out from underneath us within 3 games of the end.

Theres only like 10-15 people who are active anyways. What is the point of resetting? Unless first place wins something and then we reset and go for another prize.

My understanding of the point of resetting is that without it, the prize is basically a 2-man race with a few people who have an outside chance if Curry & I both pick a US win or loss and the other manager picks the other team and gets their ship to come in.

With a reset, all 10-15 active managers have a reason to keep picking, as they're all at the same point. Like I said earlier, I'm ok with splitting off part of the prize for a "best of the end" competition, but to reset for the whole prize seems a little eeeeeeeeeeeh to me.

My understanding was there was a winner for this season and a winner for next season but really it comes down to Wozz and the prize bearers.
