RACE FOR THE LID XIX
Contest Rules:
________________________________________

1.  Whatever the rules are, BudGirl (your RFTL judge and jury for 2017) can change them any time for any reason, including whim.  The purpose of this rule is not to promote chaos, but to preempt wailing, moaning, whining, and griping.
________________________________________

________________________________________

4.  One pick per person. If multiple picks, first poster get the pick.
________________________________________

5. The grand prize, of course, is an Astros cap of BudGirl's choosing from Astros.com.  BudGirl is allowed to make rulings on prize disputes that may arise... namely; she gets to tell you to go to hell if you whine that you should get the prize!

I read the rules, and became confused about when Tuesday, April 5th and Tuesday, April 6th are going to occur.  I think its 2023 and 2024.

Of if it has already been decided to accept picks after the first pitch on the 5th but not beyond the first pitch on the 6th, notwithstanding that they are both Tuesdays.

Yes, there was an error, if you commented on the error, you don't get to have a qualified pick.  I feel like that's only right since I can make the rules.

Please see the corrected rules.

I am both wildly pessimistic and wildly optimistic. The Astros lose all their games to the Rangers and run the table on everyone else.
