Well fellow predictors - it's that time again. We have some preseason
games to practice on and gets things all debugged for 2006-7.

You can post your predictions online at http://www.todbe.com/lakers/
or you can post them to the Laker newsgroup (or a combination of both).
Predictions to the online page will take precedence to the Usenet
prediction.

NOTE: You should make at least one prediction online from the website
first to get your password, email and username locked in. Today would
be a good time to do this. This also applies to non-members that want
to predict.

The prediction form and rules can be found by following the "make your
prediction" link at http://www.todbe.com/lakers/ - rules are at the
bottom of the page.

The two winners (based on usenet points and vector average [vecage to
you newbies]) will split the dues donated by all the members (there
are no club fees - it all goes back to the winners).

You have till November 1st to get your $5 membership dues in to LT.

You can send your dues to her via Paypal: terraholm@hotmail.com (add
$.45-$.50 to handle PayPal fees) or send cash/check for $5 to :

Empire Grooming (Laker Club)
130 S Wall St
Coos bay, Oregon 97420-3233

Make sure you include your email address (in case you win) and
your username for the season (as it appears in your posts - case
sensitive). EG: Mine is "$Bill" (without the quotes).

# Either reply to this post or create a new thread with the same subject line.
# Note that only 'Prediction MMDD' is needed in the subject line, the OPP and
# game time are to make it easy to remember the opponent and the game time.

# If replying to a prediction post remove the entire previous message or if
# it's short, top-post to make sure your guess is picked up first. If you make
# a mistake or change your mind, just repost (only last post counts).

# Quoted lines from a previous post will be ignored (lines starting with any
# of these characters and any leading spaces : [~+;:|#!<>[](){}-] will be
# assumed to be quoted).

# To reply to another poster's post without predicting, change the date to XXXX
# to avoid causing a predict.

# Make sure laker score is first number or is prefixed by a word matching
# this RE: /^la(?!c)(?:l|k)?/i and a space delimiter (if you understand Perl
# regular expr. syntax). See examples below.

# Simplest sample post for predicting LA 101 and Seattle opponent 92 :
# ------
# 101 92 Laker score is always first if not qualified
# ------

# Equivalent posts :
# ------
# 101
# 92

# LAL 101
# SEA 92

# 92 LAL 101

# Online Laker prediction contest page: http://www.todbe.com/lakers/
# Predict: http://www.todbe.com/lakers/cgi-bin/laker.pl
# Standings: http://www.todbe.com/lakers/cgi-bin/lakerytd.pl
# Schedule: http://www.todbe.com/lakers/cgi-bin/lakersched.pl

# You can predict in advance if you won't be able to post on game day.
# You can also get the year-to-date standings and Laker schedule there.

# To predict online after predicting on usenet, you will need to have your
# password reset by me (since it's been set with a default value to prevent
# others from predicting for you). Just email me and I'll set one for you
# and you can change it on your next online predict. If you haven't made a
# prediction on usenet, you can set your own password on your first online
# predict.

LAL - 90
UTA - 84

guess I will try out my luck this year!

Help me, Bill ! My screen name is more than 16 characters, can I use
the ellipsis in the middle like Google Groups does?

Thanks for your efforts again this year, btw.

Go Blazers !
