Since we're at the midway point do you guys think we should start back at zero for the second half for the second half prizes? We've never done it before but I've been thinking about it lately so that people who started late or are 30-40-50 points behind have a second shot at winning a prize. I'm good with either way but the thinking was that maybe less people would drop out that are way behind if we started over again midseason. Or if maybe its something people would be in favor of not this year but next. I'd like to know what you all think.

Let's take a vote. I'm OK with it either way.

Either way is fine with me as well, PaulaMarie-Searoyal.

being 70 out it would definitely make it more interesting for me. i think you should definitely do it next year. as for this year, if the top 10 are good with it go for it

The downside to starting over is that the people with the most hard earned points would lose them and have to start over. The upside is that those at the bottom would have an incentive to continue playing. Perhaps next year the game should be announced in two parts, before All Star with the Crown Seats tickets as prizes - and after All Star (starting over) with the autographed balls as prizes.

As it stands now, I think the majority of those in the top 10 would need to agree since they have the most to lose.

I think we should do it next year. Let's not change the rules in the middle of the season. But if others want to, I would be ok with it!

WHAT???? All that hard work to get into 1st and you people are trying to put me back at ZERO!!!!????
Ha, just kidding. If it makes it more fun for more people - I don't mind.

I kind of agree with Sooner Josh, that we shouldn't change the rules in the middle of the game, but do it next year when it's announced at the beginning of the game.

Having said that, if it's what the majority wants, then I'm OK with it.
