Beat the Blogger contest sets new record high total
Posted by Tuff Stuff

First off, I'd like to thanks all the new contestants to Beat The Blogger who helped us achieve a new benchmark in the history of the contest. While we were hoping to break the 300 mark prior to this year's National Convention, it's better late than never in my book so I'm going to put together a special memorabilia package for this week's winner. Unfortunately, in addition to posting a record high total of contestants, we also posted a new high as far as weekly leaders. The Blogger posted a respectable total of 8 but it was enough to beat the 20 contestants who tied scores of 10. Those 20 contestants were: Kelly Simmons, Chris, Martin Kelly, Kerrin, Nancy DeCosta, Steve Light, Lukas, Manny B, Cameron Little, Jonah Bashford, Brett Liner, Jamie Cooper, Beverly Otero, Danny Canervale, Al Korman, Burt Henson, Elizabeth Bertel, Johnson Davidson, Call Pill, Brianna Chase. Each of the 20 members will win a signed autograph photo and they'll also be eligible for the prize package I assemble. We'll break the tie with this week's contest for the prize package, while the non-qulaifiers will compete for a signed photo. So all of you who have qualified for the tie-breaker make sure to get this week's picks posted by the deadline and as always, good luck.


For those unfamiliar with the Beat the Blogger contest, the idea is simple. The Blogger posts 10 matchups each week and then selects his choices focontest.jpgr the winners of those matchups. Contestants enter the Beat the Blogger contest by clicking on the "Comment" section below the post with the matchups and then select their own 10 winners. You can also designate one of your picks as a "Doubler" and you will receive an extra point if you're correct so don't forget to designate your "Doubler" pick and increase your chances of winning. If you Beat The Blogger's total and post the high score for the week, you win. The regular weekly prize is an authentic signed 8-by-10 color photo of stars such as LaDainian Tomlinson, Drew Brees, Marshall Faulk, Santonio Holmes, Gale Sayers, Catfish Hunter and many more. From time to time, the Blogger will sweeten the pot for the weekly contest so look for special prize packages.
