Season 7 about to begin

After six seasons, 34 tournaments, and more than $21,000 in total prize money awarded the gang is ready to gather again this evening for the start of season 7.

Two players are taking a leave of absence, an original league member makes a triumphant return, and three newbies are ready to join the fray.

Folding: HumpinHorses, DoctorLove (seriously guys, what's more fun than the DDR tournament? Show up, play cards, drink beer. Last I checked neither of you is married or has any kids...)
Returning for more: StillNotFat
Newbies: Three people who need nicknames

Predictions for the season:

CMoney
  • Chuckles' wife will finish ahead of him in league points
  • Mojo will come up with an inappropriate nickname for Chuckles' wife
  • Coopzilla will take down at least one tournament
  • SlimChance will finish top 3 in the league (unless he doesn't show for a tournament, in which case all bets are off)
  • At least two "Terminator" achievements will be earned
  • The three new players will all finish in the top 10 for the season
  • Dark horse prediction for winning the league: Motown (dependent on 1. he shows up for all events and 2. I hit a really shitty run of luck like seasons 1 and 2). This will help offset his fantasy football losses this season.

StillNotFat
  • Mojo will go on a mid-tourney tear when he realizes kid #4 is on the way and those diapers aren’t buying themselves
  • StillNotFat will return to DDR triumphantly to take down both Coopzilla & CMoney with 9/5, forever breaking the intrinsic power of the birthday hand
  • Through some stroke of magic and manipulation, Michigan and Ohio State will meet in the National Championship game causing SlimChance and Motown to simultaneously implode at the poker table after an evening of binge-drinking and angry-betting. On a related note, CMoney will win the largest pot in DDR history and blog mercilessly about the victory.

Mojo
  • Jodizzle will win the first tourney, basically by folding.
  • Chuckles' wife will win 2 tourneys, and end up our first woman Season champion, yet will only take down $990 for the season (coming just short of that elusive 'grand')
  • CMoney won't take a paying place, but will win the deuce deuce bonus 3 times.
  • SlimChance will earn a 'gratuitous scalping' achievement.
  • Coopzilla will take 3 consecutive last place finishes.
  • Motown will take 2nd place, 3 times. He'll newly be dubbed 'the new DoctorLove', or 'the bridesmaid.' He'll take 2nd place Season Champion.
  • TheCanuck will spend >$500 over the season, and only take a bounty home with him.
  • Chuckles will take two small paying places.
  • Woody will win 1, show in 3, and be Chuckles' wife's primary competition for season champion, only to come in last place in the last tournament
  • Mojo will take 4 bounties, but won't score more than 400 points on the season.

TheCanuck
  • Chuckles' wife will come on strong but will end up middle of the pack
  • CMoney thinks he has it in the bag but will end up being behind the Canuck this season
  • SlimChance and Coopzilla will stay consistent and come top 3 or bottom 2 all season

Good luck everyone, let's shuffle up and deal!
