Is something wrong with the zip file? I had computer problems at home and needed to reload it and I am getting an error message.

Actually I won't, one of my very good friends that knows nothing about koi and doesn't know any of you will do the name draw. My name will not be in the pot. I am taking the last 3 picks voluntarily. Also none of my shiros will be eligable for any of the prizes that I'm doing the judging for. Just wanted to be sure we were all clear on that. So after the names are drawn we will run the pick list in groups of 20. The first group will go probably 3 days after I post the list to give everyone some time to get ready. The first 20 pickers will give me 10 picks each. They will have 24 hours to pm me those picks after I say go. I will go through each person in order and give them there highest pick that is available. I will then post that info and send it to Mystic and they will update the photos with a the name of the person getting it. This will take time so there will be 48 hours between each group of 20. 24 hours to get the updates done and 24 hours for the next group to re-evalutate their picks if they need to. Sound good? If you don't quite understand it when we get to the picking part I will be very clear about what exactly you need to do and when .

So we have to submit a list of ten olympic hopefuls at time of draw....

...this is gonna be fun.

I don't like to be a downer, but I really don't think MysticKoi will be open on the 25th to receive payments. Maybe they need to pay by the 24th?

Apparently there is! I'll get it reloaded in the next day or so. Please, everyone, use the new version (once we have it posted) as the original had a couple of duplicates in the file.

Merry Christmas to all!
