2016 Pirates Prediction Contest

By Kipper @pghsportsforum
As some of you may know but I'm guessing a lot don't the past couple of years I have ran a Pirates prediction contest over on the Pro Sports Daily forum. Its been a fun little game and has generated a bit of traffic over there. I've been thinking recently and I want to expand it to this board if I can get enough participation.
The traditional set up is an individual competition where I present a set of questions before the season begins, you answer and I throughout the season occasionally prorate the results and update who is currently leading. I still plan on doing that this year regardless of participation level but I want to add a second competent to the competition that would serve as a match between the two boards.
In an ideal world there would be two 5 person teams and each month one player would answer questions regarding the four areas of the Pirates (infield, outfield, rotation, bullpen) and of the team itself. This would rotate on a monthly basis and from April through August each player would get a turn at each section. September would then feature a bit of a playoff between the two sides in a format that I'm still working on.
Basically want I want from this post is to know who would be interested in competing in the individual and/or team competitions. Just as a side note this isn't something that would require a huge commitment. The individual portion would be a one time thing with around 15 questions and the team competition would be a once monthly thing with about three questions per participant.
Both boards have been a little stagnant recently and I thought this could be a fun way to try and breathe a bit of life back into them.
Just let me know if you are interested. Thank you.
