fun-only bike race picking contest

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I'm running (for the 4th year in a row) a bike race "winner" pick contest. Unfortunately, the first round was last week: Milan San Remo. But each entrant can throw out a number of low scores equal to half the races run so far (rounded down), so it's not too much of a handicap. No prizes, no entry fee -- just for fun.

Basically you just pick the top 3 from races on the schedule, which is as follows... the code indicates the priorty of each race:

March
24 MSR: Milano - Sanremo (1A)
April
8 RVV: Ronde van Vlaanderen / Tour des Flandres (1A)
11 GW: Gent - Wevelgem (1C)
15 PR: Paris - Roubaix (1A)
22 AG: Amstel Gold Race (1B)
25 FW: La Fleche Wallonne (1C)
29 LBL: Liege - Bastogne - Liege (1A)
May
1 - 6 TDR: Tour de Romandie (2C)
12 - 3 GDI: Giro d'Italia (2B)
June
10 - 17 DL: Criterium du Dauphine Libere (2C)
16 - 24 TDS: Tour de Suisse (2C)
17 AUS: Austin Men's International (1D)
July
7 - 29 TDF: Tour de France (2A)
August
4 SS: Clasica Ciclista San Sebastian (1B)

For communication on the game, I have set up a mailing list:
http://groups.google.com/group/mp3cycling

I also have a web site, which will eventually be updated for this year's
contest (not yet):
http://mp3.djconnel.com/

To enter for Flanders, send your top 3 picks as follows, in the body
of an email:

RVV 1 Thomas Voeckler
RVV 2 Laurens Ten Dam
RVV 3 Enrico Gasparotto

send the email to: mp3_at_djconnel_dot_com (mp3@djconnel.com)<--- SEND EMAIL HERE (don't reply to this message)

where the names are pasted from CyclingNews.com (in this case,
http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2007/apr07/rvv07/?id=startlist (http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2007/mar07/msr07/?id=startlist) ).

It's important the entry be formatted in this way -- the race code
tells my parser that it is reading an entry line. Otherwise it just
assumes a line is part of the virtually endless stream of junk most
emails contain in headers, attachments, etc....

If you're interested, please subscribe to the mailing list:
