In terms of prizes, definitely I'd encourage any players who want to participate in a sweepstake (for points) to do so, and I'm sure we can keep track according to whatever winning conditions are decided, but I'm unwilling to make a points ante obligatory if some players players don't want to. There was even some discussion of a real money stake last year for those who wanted to participate, but again that would have to be a private deal between any players who wanted to do it... though again I'd have no problem keeping scores (or hell even holding escrow if anyone was stupid enough to trust me ).
Further to that I'm gonna to get in touch with one of the guys who run the site to see whether we can arrange for some kind of prize for the overall and possibly category winners - even if it's some fairly inexpensive tat like merchandise, it'd still add some extra buzz to the game. You any ideas who would be best to contact? I was thinking maybe Rold (cos his e-mail was easiest to find) but I'm not really sure that kind of thing would be managing editors job.
That said. If a lot of the players really wanted to have have a points ante I've certainly no objection, though I wouldn't want players with few points to be excluded as a result.
