FYI: As people sign up for the game, they are added to the leader board on top of the game's page... New players just need to scroll down past the leader board to make their picks. _________________

I have to say. Nice set up there. This should be fun.
So my name will show up when I make my first prediction then?
Thanks, and yes. You pick one team and you show up on the list... You can then go back and add more picks later, as well as updating previously made picks (as long as the games haven't started). _________________
