Here's my latest creation for you all to play.
The contest will start on Sunday May 15th and run through the last day of games before the All-Star break on Sunday July 10th.
This contest is entirely free to enter, but if anyone would care to donate a modest pack certified autograph (< $15 Ebay value), we can have even more winners!
This signup thread will run through Saturday, May 14th.
Any questions, just ask. Good luck.
Overview
1. Each contestant is given a "calendar" that runs from May 15th - July 10th. Each day features a group of 3 major league teams.
2. Go to ESPN's Daily Leaders pitching page and add up each of your team's starting pitching Game Scores for that day (the far right column labeled "ESPN*").

How to Win
1. If you are the first person to report a combined single day total of exactly 200 points, you'll win $20 cash via Paypal.
2. If you are the first person to report a combined 3 consecutive day total of exactly 500 points, you'll win a 2011 Topps Gypsy Queen autographed card of Jose Bautista ($20-30 Ebay value)
3. If you are the first person to report a combined 7 consecutive day total of exactly 1,000 points, you'll win a 2011 Topps Tribute triple autographed card of David Price, Clayton Kershaw, and Jon Lester (#19/24)
Notes
1. If a team does not play on a given day, their game score is zero.
2. If you have the same team listed more than once on the same day, you must count their score for each time they appear.
What is a Game Score?

1. Start with 50 points.
2. Add 1 point for each out recorded, so 3 points for every complete inning pitched.
3. Add 2 points for each inning completed after the 4th.
4. Add 1 point for each strikeout.
5. Subtract 2 points for each hit allowed.
6. Subtract 4 points for each earned run allowed.
7. Subtract 2 points for each unearned run allowed.
8. Subtract 1 point for each walk.
