I got tired of waiting for BK and went ahead and set this up. BK, if you want to run a pick'em, that's fine with me, since you do have first call on it. I can drop this one with no problem. But just in case you don't, let's get this thing going! 
Thanks to tvilledawg and ObserveAndReport, this contest uses a new scoring system. You pick the number of points you want for each game (starting out with from 1 to 5 for all games), and the winner. If your team wins, you score your chosen number of points. If they lose... you LOSE that number of points. Same scoring system as Jeopardy uses. This should keep things interesting up through the end of the year.
It looks like this:
There are 10 radio buttons (the O's in the diagram) between Visitor and Home, numbered 1 to 10 (that's what Google will let me do). Clicking on button #1 is a 5-point pick for the Visitors. Button #10 is a 5-point Home pick. #5 is a 1-point Visitor pick, and #6 is a 1-point Home pick. And so on....
All the SMC games will be in, and three other games: a WNC game (from the WHC, WNCAC, or MAC), a non-SMC 1A game, and OMD's Game of the Week (which scores double your point pick, from 2 to 10).
Here's the link to the Week 1 games:

I'm using Google Forms to run the contest, so you will need a Google account to play if you don't already have one (but I bet most of you do, if you use Gmail or Google Docs). If you don't have one, it's free.
Surveys are anonymous, so you have to give your Preps user name. We're working on the honor system. Only submit for yourself!
You only get one entry, but you can change your picks up till the deadline (which is 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of the earliest game that week).
Good luck to all players!
