Anyone else miss coming up with studio names for Regular leagues? I thought it was pretty fun reading what everyone had come up with.

I do, but they were the most fun in the Regulars Leagues. We'll get back to that one day, W. (Fingers crossed for empire's brain)

Far From Men and The 100-Year Old Man Who ... have failed to report their numbers. Therefore, they will both be removed from the game, and anyone who chose them will get to replace them.

I will look into those tomorrow. I don't like to overcrowd a weekend by giving it much more than five choices, but if these choices have merit, I'll add them and re-send the pricing schemes.

If crowding is an issue, you could drop some of the limited releases you have already on the list. For example

Amy and Tangerine have better PTA chances than The Suicide Theory
Z for Zachiarah and Grandma have better PTA chances than Sleeping with Other People

The others are facing major limited films and wide releases, but all have a good chance of meaning something in the game.

Duly noted, but I'll have to check if anyone has chosen those titles. I'm pretty sure Suicide Theory has been picked by at least one player. I'll get back to you today.

I picked Suicide Theory because of the price tag. I'd like it kept since I built my strategy around it. I don't know anything about the others, but Amy definitely has potential.

I'd suggest Z for Zachiarah as well, just because you only have 4 films the weekend's before and after.

If you are on the pricing panel, GET YOUR SCHEMES IN ASAP.

So far, I only have Surfer's.

Just a note for the Super Leagues: Brockster will be pulling out, as work constraints demand more of his time than he can allow to participate.

He will still continue to play in the YL and quarterly draft leagues until we get another site up and running.
