    Except for one comment to "drop low score and count all weeks" which I equate to the witness telling the cop "He went that way" while pointing left and right :shock: :wink: everyone that spoke up was leaning toward dropping one or two weeks.

    Here's your poll. You don't have to post to express your reasoning (you can if you want) but please vote for one week or two weeks dropped. This poll will run for 4 days. Get your votes in early. Do not vote unless you are signed up for the contest.

    I voted for two, however everyone make sure they don't miss one of the weeks with the most games as most people will still drop two weeks that have less games than the bigger weeks.

    Thanks for sitting all this up Tom.

    Close vote... 4 to 5. I would never have thought it would be this close with the discussion before the poll. Gives more meaning to "Play the game out on the field." :wink:

    I guess that this should be pointed out. Last year, we had a single week dropped. If this ends in a tie vote, we stay with what we had last year. I set this to go 4 days so we should have an answer just before 6 a.m. central on Tuesday.

    Bump. 15 votes so far. 9-6 in favor of two weeks dropped.

    Cindy, glad to hear you are doing OK. I sure enjoyed meeting and talking with you and Tom in KC.

    Thanks for the bump and the kind words Sid.

    I've always maintained that face to face meetings make for friendlier internet forums.

    I can honestly say that I have never met a Skyboxer that I didn't like! :wink: Oops... I met Rodney (Tailback) but I liked him too... until he went off the deep end. 8)

    OK, with Stu's vote, it is 10 to 6 for 2 weeks. I'll change the settings of the contest.
