Quote of the day
"I wish it was my magical words. All I told the guys was, ‘We're down seven. You don't have to play perfect basketball, but we better come pretty close.’ " -- Oklahoma City head coach Scott Brooks, after the Thunder overcame a 7-point deficit in the final 2 minutes to beat the Lakers Daily blurb
Daily Joust is offering a special free contest on Friday, May 18. Experienced Jousters need not apply - as entrants must not have won a baseball contest yet this season. So, this is a chance for "newbies" to try out the format free of cost, and free of experienced competition. Double free!
To enter, you must first register at Daily Joust (unless you have previously done so). Once registered and logged in, the Daily Joust link in this blurb will take you to the freeroll.
The prize pool is $250BB (bonus bucks), which means that if you win, you'll have some funds to invest in subsequent Daily Joust contests.
If you do enter, be sure to take advantage of the DailyBaseballData tools to help you prepare your roster. For example, Friday's weather outlook looks pretty benign as of now (Thursday morning), but you'll want to revisit that as Friday evening nears. The batter vs pitcher summary may point out some attractive matchups. And, of course, the RotoGuru sortable stats will allow you to evaluate recent salary-adjusted performance, with a number of customizable options. (Note - player salaries will be updated for Friday's contests on Thursday night.)
If you're new to daily contests, or even just new to Daily Joust, what better time to give it a shot? Joust do it!
