Reggie, I know how you feel. I recently finished my solitaire season, and documented it in a full season long post. (It's in the RULES WORLD forum in the Solitaire section) It was quite an undertaking and a real eye opener. I had my suspisions before I started as to how it would play out. What I didn't take into account is that these little guys have minds of their own. Each team developed it's own personality, and they never failed to amaze me.

Each team had strengths and weaknesses, and some teams matched up better against certain teams, and not very well against others. I used passing dice for about half the games and sticks for the others. You would think, statistically speaking, that the QB's would be about equal, since I used the same system and was the only person making the decisions who I was 'throwing' to. And yet, somehow, one QB stood out way ahead of the other 7. In fact, 2 were consistantly better than the rest. Some guys were 'streaky', in that they would get hot and complete several passes in a row, and then get cold and missed several in a row.

One team finished consdierably worse than the rest, and yet with just a few breaks here or there could have just as easily finished with their won-loss record reversed. I had one team that just seemed to quit when they got far behind, and another that somehow kept fighting back when they got way behind. I can't explain why they did what they did, but it sure was fun being able to just sit back and watch them. I can't wait to add a few more teams and start again next year
