Hello & welcome to the re-start of The Arena's Streak For Colors! grin happy I will be you new host. If you're not familiar with the rules, here they are:


Playing this game is simple. There are no sign-ups.

Each week, on Sunday, athletic (and sometimes, other random) events will be posted for the coming week. Simply pick up to one selection per day to enter. The idea is to build as long a streak of correct picks as possible. You don't need to make a pick every day, and not picking will not count against you.

So, how do you win? And, what can you win?

Well, there are two ways to win.

Pick twelve correct in a row, and you win 24 hours of colors. Extend this streak, and win even more! Every time this streak goes an extra three consecutive correct picks, you add another 24 hours of colors, up to a maximum of 7 days of colors. The colors will start when you streak ends or you reach the maximum possible prize.

The second way to win this is to get the greatest number of picks correct in a month, regardless of how many you get in a row. The user who does this will 24 hours of colors as well. Longest single streak will be the tiebreaker.

Please note that a tie does not end a streak, nor does it extend it.

And that's it. Just pick one thing right every day, and you win! Get a long streak, and you get colors.
[/color]


Now, in accordance with tradition, the game will not begin until Wednesday July 1st, in order to start this off with a new month. What I will do in the meantime is post the picks for that day (picks for the rest of the week will be posted tomorrow). So, if you're ready, let's streak for colors!

Games for Wednesday, July 1st:


MLB Pick The Winner: NY Mets at Milwaukee

MLB Pick The Winner: Philadelphia at Atlanta


MLB Pick The Winner: Chicago Cubs at Pittsburgh


MLB, number of games (out of 15 total games) that are decided by 1 run: over/under 3


The schedule for Wimbledon matches for the 1st have yet to be set, so that's why they aren't here (not sure how many tennis fans we've got around here, though). Once they're available, I will post some here.

You'll definitely want the Wimbledon matches when they're announced happy

Also, I'm thinking you meant "over or under 3" for the 1-run games?

Ok, the light blue is horrible to read. Can you please do black text for the game?

Plus, the blue correct has to contrast so we know if we got it right or not.

Everything that was blue has now been switched to black. I'm sure it's now easier to read, Lisa.

Yes! The Breeders Cup races in October! The Woodward is in August I think and I thought there was one in July but I could be wrong.

There's at least the Breeder's Cup later this year (November?) I'm sure there's more too, but I don't know them tongue

EDIT: Dang it, October. Well, I was close!
