The Official WCH 2005 Pick'em Contest

Since it worked for Seinfeld, I figured why not have a little contest of my own. I’ve come up with a list of ten questions for readers to take a stab at. It’s ok if you have no clue about some of this stuff. Just take a wild guess. I’ll keep tabs on the entries throughout the year, and whoever has the most points at the end of the season will win a prize of my choosing.(I make no guarantees about the quality of said prize, but I’ll keep my eye out for something cool) If the response to this idea is good, I’ll put one up every week during the season with weird proposition bets about that week's games and the winner receiving some sort of recognition. All entries must be emailed to me at hornethockeystar1212@hotmail.com Best of luck.
