NG, re: "not quite sure what you mean by a team..." Well, I thought it would be interesting to have the pro-AMD folks all make their entries and the pro-Intel folks to do the same for AMD. While the entries would all be as individuals, those "joining" a team would have their best scores combined into a team value. In this way, there would be some friendly competition between those who favor one company over the other. Given the frequently heated exchanges between partisans... I thought it would be an interesting challenge to see which group would provide the best estimates. And by opening the contest up to Intel entries, this allows for a "home field advantage" for each team. As you pointed out, you are not as familiar with Intel so would either have to just guess, invest some time in research, or wait and see what the entries look like and then guess. <g> Participants do not have to designate a team in which case I will just place them in the "Other" category. The only suggested teams are "AMD" and "Intel" but there could be "Canadians" or "Germans." Teams must have five members to have team score calculated. Previous EPS contests provided for some competition between sites (SI, JC's, Yahoo, Motley Fool) and I thought I would extend that distinction within the SI group. I also decided not to try and deal with gathering entries from the other sites this time - at least initially. But if there is interest (and it somehow reaches me) I would probably change my mind since the more players the more fun. -PT
