    Challenge

    Since you guys have been slacking in the Challenge department.

    I'll give a 25,000 bonus (to the winner) as a prize if two of you can get a challenge going today.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    I'm low on ZBs. I will challenge anybody. I think I have a strong team.

    Challenges: Lastly, I really wanted to add a new feature to increase competition between you. This is totally optional. But if you want a chance to make a few extra bucks you can challenge another zoner. Each of you can put one of your cards head to head with a chance to win some cash. You don't have to do it, but it could help you get an edge.

    1. Challenges must be agreed on by both teams. You may challenge once a week. And put as many cards up as you want.

    2. Each team will select the girl or girls they're putting up in the challenge. Zoners will submit two scores to me via PM. Hottness and Value on a tenths point scale ( for example, 7.2/5.9). The Challenge voting period will be open for 48 hours.

    3. Rather than place a value on challenges, I'll leave that up to the two managers, you can bet whatever you like. Winner wins, loser pays... so bet smart.

    4. Depending on how popular this feature is I may allow you guys to bet on these down the line.

    To be honest, you'd have to make it worth my while, like an out of conference football game, where one team pays the other to play.

    You're "Low on ZB" and "have a strong team." No real incentive on my end to play...

    the chance to win 25000 isn't enough? He didn't say we had to lose something if we didn't win. But I would put up an additional 10000 to you if I lost.

    depending on the rules, I might even let you pick a girl that I can't use against you

    The chance to win the $25k isn't the issue... It's the chance of you winning it and being able to perhaps outbid me down the road.

    Currently, I have around 4x the amount of ZB that you do. By not taking a challenge, that limits what you can do down the road.

    You've also recently won 3 lotteries worth about $15k... Why would I want to give you a shot at $25k more, when currently, you will only be able to win 2-3 more cards?

    It's less about me gaining ZB and more about not giving you the chance to close the gap and it hurting me down the road.

    Ha, I might already be in a challenge, but if you want to come up with some sort of parameters, I'm game.
