OK. I figure its been a while since I donated to Guru...ok A LONG WHILE...so, atleast make it interesting (to me) and offer a $50 donation to RotoGuru.com under the Gurupie's name with the closest count of total teams participating at the start of the TSN Hoops season.
If the winner is CanEHdian, they have to solve this problem for x: x=1+1 and give the definition for "wickets".
So, that said, I'm tossing out 2358 as my Total TSN teams count for the start of the season. |

21 As RSF states at the beginning: "total teams participating at the start of the TSN Hoops season."
That means Tuesday at 8pm ET to me. That's when the first game of the season starts.

Over 2000 as of this morning. As for overbids RSF asked "closest count" so I would assume going over would still make it valid.

Hey, Weycool Are you going to wait until 7:30, count all the current teams, and then put in your "guess"? :-)

Hmm...I think the freeze time is whenever its closest to my count. :)

Doesnt take that much time to count the teams. Excel can do it in 2 mins. For the record when I made my pick there were approx 1850 teams so it is not like I had all that much more info.
Currently 2163

Not that I'm going to use the knowledge to game the guessing game, but how do you tap into the TSN system to get the number of teams, players, prices, averages, etc? I've always wondered that.

Ah sorry, to my great surprise I saw you already froze in #37. Just returned home thinking the freeze would be at 8pm ET. So hoping you can include it in the bets, I'm still throwing in my guess of 2633.
If that's not possible, OK with me also. Just hoping I was able to give a good guess nevertheless. ;)

#38 If you move your team to a new league and use the "join the existing league" link you can see a listing of all the leagues and number of teams in each league. DL that into Excel and then add sum up the column.
I would think that the official count should be whatever TSN has for the freeze at 11 PM. Not that I will have a dog in the fight as the count is at 2230 with a little over 6 hours for late comers to add a team.

#41 Cool, thanks for including it, RSF! But as weykool says we're at 2230 only right now, it looks like I'd have to buy 400 more teams to have a realistic shot at the $50 prize... :)

Nope, I'm only fielding one this year. Perhaps we can convince maxiroxx to buy 425 teams instead of his usual 25... :)))

2333 as we tip off. Will be interesting to see how many teams are added before 11pm. It would still be possible to have a full roster for tomorrows games or if a manager was planning to go DL. My guess is we get another 50-60 tonight.

Looks like xpdurmind is our winner at 2332, using weycool's reported number of 2333.
Gotta say, I was pretty close for calling it on Sunday.
I'll let Guru know the money I sent should be in your name xpdurmind.

Yes it would. I was making an assumption that the number was what weykool was putting up.
Lets wait for that. Sorry xpdurmind... :)
That should show up at the freeze, right?
