Battle of the Members VII

It's about that time of year isn't it? I'd volunteer to run it for once, but I'm only online quite sporadically these days, so it may be better for someone else to do it. In any case, it must be done.

People I don't expect votes from this year:

The mods
People who think Sachin Tendulkar is better than Don Bradman
Bun
Sanz
Migara

Assuming the list of nominees for last year is directly included, I nominate:-

vcs
Howe_zat
Himanv
smalishah84

Spark was there in last years' comp right?

Oh, fully expect to get knocked out in the first round tbh, got nominated with something like 200 posts last year and got benchmark'd first round.

Also, odds are you'll be banned before the end.

Personally, I give no credence to any battles following the first battle, which is the only true battle.

I also wish to add that I feel we should select ten, long serving, full members for the contest and ignore the rest of you, as it was all down to us that you have progressed so much.

Liking Neils idea, but make it a Battle of the Legends, criteria 5 years service to the forums (for better or worse, in sickness and in bans), could run it after BOTM.

Would be impressive if I was here last time round given that I didn't actually know this existed - someone better inform me on what this actually is

I'm proposing a format change to the old Davis Cup one, where the contenders have a play off to determine which of them gets to meet the defending champion in the final.
