2012 RG SkanTest

[PeterSkan]

'Bonjour mes chers amis -

"Milles Milliards de Milles sabords de tonerre de Brest!" as Captain Haddock would intone. It's time for the 2012 RG SkanTest, and so this thread will serve as the official home for the Contest here at TAT. Many thanks to the site administrators for this indulgence.

I know I was all about changing up some of the parameters of the game, but I gotta work too, you know. So we're keeping it the same for thew time being. You don't have to wait for the draw to get your teams up and running, since you can always edit them.

As for newcomers ... bien oui ... more than welcome ici a Paris.

Now then - here's the prize you'll be playing for:

Thanks, everybody, and best wishes to all contestants.

I want that coin. I even chose Nadal and Maria and I can't stand them.

That's the spirit. It's a beaut, all right! And the best thing is I already have it in hand, so the winner will get it right away.

bump for 22 teams so far. Nice start, but let's keep the momentum flowing, folks.

45 entries ... good grief, RG starts Sunday morning at 11:00 a.m. Paris time. That's less than 12 hours from now. Get your entries in, people.

Surprised how little Aggie love there is (good for me and Martini who both have her as our top woman.) Let's keep that coin in Canada!

I love to see who the "cheerleader's" are that people choose.

60 teams in all. Not bad considering I did very little promotion. I set up a facebook page on the weekend. I'll be curious to see if that makes any difference. Here's the page - like it and friend it
