Board 8 > The Predictors: Week 1 *Still can Join!*

(+) Yeah! (+)

Premise: After we get a full crew of signups. I'll then give you several things to predict on from Sports to Box Office predictions to B8 events. I'll try to provide at least 10 different things you can lay points down on. After a week the lowest point holder is eliminated
What about idlers?: During Week 1 only the idlers will be eliminated, after that idlers + lowest point holder.

Give me an example one: Jalen Ramsey will be traded to an AFC team or an NFC team
UserB selects NFC
Jalen Ramsey is traded to to Chiefs
UserB cries himself to sleep

Give me an example of one that may not work Just imagine the above except hes not traded or not traded that week, you are then refunded your bet

Signups
1. banananor
2. Shonen_Bat
3. NBIceman
4. Johnbobb

6. .......YOU?

Welp, I'm doomed.

I'm going to start with a clarification, though: when you say "What movie will be #1 in the box office for Sept 27th thru 30th?", are you referring to the entire Thursday through Sunday period, or are you actually referring to the Friday through Sunday weekend, plus Thursday night previews for Abominable?

So I wasnt sure if they'd include thursday night in the box office report for Abominable. So I wanted to cover my bases.

Box office reports always include Thursday night previews in the Friday-Sunday weekend figures, even though they're not actually a part of said weekend. Including the entirety of Thursday makes this somewhat of an interesting challenge, though, while Friday through Sunday (with or without previews) would essentially guarantee that Abominable is free points.

Hopefully edited to qualify that
