Good idea, let's just abandon the league posting and just post here, it'll keep it more orderly. The ???s are Manny Goes Boom, Pesky's Crusaders is riverside sluggers, and yes, Brooklyn Yankees is He Hate Me. And yes, ARod's choice of a team name is quite ... appalling?
As far as I know, everyone is willing to throw in $20 to the winner. The split is $20 to third place (don't lose any money), $40 to second and $180 to the winner. So you get a bit of a profit from making the championship round, and you at least get your money back for finishing third. Jackpot for winning it. I'm leaning towards having everyone mail me the $20 and I'll pass it out accordingly when the season's over, or having someone else do it (I still live with parents, so they might get pretty suspicious if I have $20 coming in from all over the place).
