Overtime Central

The winners of the August segment for the CFL contests were announced earlier today.

• The August segment winner of the 2007 CFL Pool is Davin Bulldogs, coached by Brent Gessner, with 59 points.
• The August segment winner of the 2007 CFL Hi-Lo Challenge is Davin Bulldogs (no relation), coached by Brent Gessner (same guy), with 38 points.
• The August segment winner of the 2007 CFL Start ‘em, Sit ‘em Draft is CFL4ever, coached by Bill Maguire, with 3341 points. (Three monthly wins in a row and you are banned for a year, Bill.)

Prizes this month will be announced shortly (see update below). Winners should get in touch with me to claim their prize. Thanks to all participants and good luck the rest of the way.

Update: August winners will receive $5 Blockbuster Video gift cards.

Tomorrow the 2007 CFL season gets under way and along with it three Overtime Central contests to challenge your CFL prognosticating skills. There is a wide-range of announcements that I would like to make regarding the new contests.

• If you have not signed up as of yet, check out the contest rules and consider giving one of them a go.
• If you have signed up and made all your picks already, consider posting on one of the contest forums.
• At the bottom of your contest page, there is an entry preferences section. You can sign up for emailed reminders, pick confirmations and status updates.
• I have noted roster moves in this forum post and have updated the draft list with some missing players now that rosters have been set. Please let me know if I am missing anyone you wish to draft.
• Pick reminder emails are being sent out tonight, a little late the first time as I was waiting for additional entries.
• There will not be any Overtime Central season or week previews this year as my time will be spent on other things.
