There were no idol clues involved.
The only thing to win was to become a captain - and one captain has already been voted out.
So, if you dont want to be a captain you have 2 choices:
1) play the challenge and win (the odds are not that great)
or
2) dont play.

I do know if I was captain I would try to get most of my alliance on my team and get numbers on my side to keep my guys and myself in the game as long as possible- just sayin'.

As I mentioned when Draft Kings was going to be used, going to another website to play something on this website isn't considered "low time consuming" in my book. For this particular challenge, I'm guessing I'd have had to go to 3 different sites to get the schedules. And, knowing nothing about NBA/NHL, that seemed pointless.

I'm going to pass on being a captain. I'll pick the tribe I join when the draft has been complete :)

Polishing the Apple for the teacher!

Golfpro: I know what you are doing is taking a lot of time and the Hackers appreciate it. I know scoring each competition can be time-consuming and repetitive, so we appreciate you taking the time to put this game together and keep it active. I know originally you were going to split the duties with someone else. I for one would not want to commit the time to keep a game like this active, so thanks.

I did not participate in the challenge because being a captain is time-consuming, but not all that bad as long as you remember to check timely for the upcoming challenges. Anyway, I thought I would give someone else a chance to be Capt., So I opted not to participate.

Cheers.

darny10 has chosen to pick his tribe once the two captains select their tribes.
The two captains are csudak and meahsdaddy.
Csudak gets first pick then meahsdaddy, All players except for darny10 should be chosen. You may post here is forum or send me a list in order of who you prefer.

I'll take dwobble
