SO, I guess at this point, since she hasn't posted in over 2 weeks, and it's coming up on time to get the ball rolling, I WILL BE TAKING OVER and, like Rammer, think that the rules that we had last year should apply. All that agree, yeah, all that dissagree say NAY!!!
Six weeks ago I said.....

I'd rather see Howler in charge of this thing. It seems like there were dozens of folks wanting to participate last year, several even wanted to organize the thing, but I don't recall any of them actually stepping up when it was time to get to work. I don't think any of them even submitted a dead coyote for scoring? Howler can do it right, he will do it right, and I'd rather not get involved in a contest ran any other way.
The rules are simple, the scoring is simple.Let's see who's interested in competing,have Howler throwtogether some teams and thenlet us start doing what we do best. The only thing I'd do differently than last year... is have ONE official thread that shows the teams in the original post (by Howler). In that thread, hunters would submit their pictures for scoring. In that thread- the original post (by Howler) would be edited on a regular basis to update the scores as they change. This way we go one place to see who's on who's team- and submit our photos- and check our scores. ALL IN ONE. That's my only suggestion... for what it's worth.

I don't have a problem with Melsheeba taking overso long as she leaves the rules and scoring the same- and shows up to tally our scores every day or two.
If we're going to include coons I'd say its fair for 10 coonsto equal one coyote - so basically 5 points for a coon and 50 for a coyote? I agree on random team drawings as well.
My last request of those organizing this contest is to make things as clear as possible even if it takes a few more minutes up-front. Maybe use BOLD font to type the scores, and ITALICS to list the team names? Maybe even keep the top scoring teams on top of the list? I'm not trying to make this whole thing complicated.... but I don't think it'd be too tough to make things really clear for those of us who visit the scoring thread on a daily basis!

Let me know when we get a rules package ironed out so I know how to go about winning this thing! LOL!
