A million dollar first prize to split for the team would go along way.

Thank you for the sticker. Got ours last week or two.

I'll be honest with you, the problems you mention with people signing up, checking in and then not participating in anything after that, really sucks. It has me really discouraged in the fall bow hunting contest. I was on the very first team that won it. Every year since then, I don't think even comes close to the enthusiasm level the contest board had that first year. Smack talk is down. I've been on a few teams that just about died off during the season with the exception of a few teamates. This last year, my team was in second place, only down by about 100 points, yet silence from members who hadn't scored yet. Talk about frustration.

I like the minimal activity for sign up. Active email account is a great idea. I would also do more advertising on the forum pages themselves. I realise those spots are for paid advertising, however without active members constantly visiting the forum, no one sees the paid advertisement either.
