    Here are your Contests (no Trivia this round). Either post your answers here or send them over PM

    Matt Stairs Bracket:
    Predict the total number of runs scored on April 9th, the closest prediction wins. The tiebreaker is the number of errors committed (pick a tiebreaker as well). If those are both tied, I flip a coin, first responder gets choice.

    Cristian Guzman Bracket:
    Choose the ten players that you believe will hit homeruns on April 9th, for each player you get correct, you get one point, most points win. Same tiebreaker as Matt Stairs bracket

    Esteban Loaiza Bracket:
    Predict the game that will contain the most runs scored and the least runs scored on April 9th. For every ranking that you are off, you get one point, least number of points wins (For instance: If you say Cincy/Pitt will have the most runs, and they have the third most runs, you get two points). The tiebreaker is the same as previous brackets.

    Eric Milton Bracket:
    Predict the winner of each game on April 9th, each correct pick gets one point, most points win. See previous tiebreakers.

    Deadline is 4/9 at 1 PM EST. Good luck, and in the next round, I'll make the contests a little bigger and more complicated.

    Note: If we have a bracket where 4 or less people enter picks, everyone advances and a re-seeding is done. If three, then the #1 seed gets a bye, if 2, both get a bye, if 1, that person gets automatic admittance to the final rounds, but that doesn't apply here

    Next Round:

    Matt Stairs
    1) General
    4) SLAM

    2) Dry1313
    3) Pronk47

    Cristian Guzman
    1) Dirtykash
    4) Huskerfan2002

    3) Redsfan28
    2) Element

    Esteban Loaiza:
    1) Providence A's
    5) GoBucs2000

    6) Dam8610
    7) Griffeyfan3

    Eric Milton
    1) Kingdom of Zito
    4) Halladay_is_God

    3) Missionhockey21
    2) Wilton

    Circular logic aside, Mr Mims, you have yet to provide a single credible reason why you are, in fact, hot.
