Just wondering if anyone is sponsoring a contest?

If someone else would you guys could do it. I have some personal issues going on right now & never even thought to start getting prizes.
sorry but my hearts not in it this year.
I promise I'll be back with a bang next year to hold it.

No problems here, I hope you get things right. First things first.

OK, folks... the bigpumpkins.com group on ESPN Tournament Challenge still exists and already has 13 entries from 9 unique individuals. Let's just use this. Users are limited to two brackets.

I would offer some sort of prize for seeds, but I really don't have anything that fits the bill. Anyone want to throw some prizes into the ring? If not, we'll go for bragging rights!

Sounds good. I will get ahold of some of the Wisconsin growers and see if they have any seeds to donate. Maybe some Ellenbecker field pumpkins?

You could ask some of the west coast growers maybee? I have put a bracket onto the bigpumpkins.com account I found on espn.

I'm trying to get enough seeds to make a list for everyone to choose from. First place would get first pic. Second place gets second pic and so on. My e-mail is trkyhntr77@yahoo.com

As the reigning champion I announce that I will be entering the draft tomorrow! Wow! I know. It is ok everyone. I believe that I have a 1800 something Wallace I can donate for a prize.

Does the group automatically lock once the field of 64 starts, or does someone have to do that manually?

Matt the group locks automatically once the tourney starts. That's the way I set it up back in 2006. The first year we did it
