On behalf of the Office of the Commissioner, I am pleased to announce the 2nd annual PBL Prediction Contest! Enter to win Paramount Credits! Demonstrate your prognostication skills and earn even more! OBJECTIVE: For each team in each division, predict the exact order of placement in the final regular season standings. SCORING: For each correct prediction, a GM will be credited with one point. The GM who accumulates the greatest number of points will be declared the winner. NOTE: Ties will be broken according to the order in which teams are listed on the PBL standings page. REWARDS:- 1st Place = 50 Paramount Credits (PCs)
- 2nd Place = 25 PCs
- 3rd Place = 20 PCs
- Other GMs Who Participated = 10 PCs
TO ENTER: - DEADLINE -- Monday, July 8, prior to the first pitch of Opening Day of the 2051 season.
- Prepare a list of predictions, by division, of the order of finish at the end of the regular season - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. Completed ballots will include predictions for the AL (East, Central, West, South) and the NL (East, Central, West, South).
- Via the PBL message board, submit the predictions to Tim Ackley (Tim_GiantsGM) via a private DM where they will be retained and referenced as necessary to ensure accuracy.
ACCOUNTING and REPORTING:- I will create a spreadsheet that includes the predictions submitted by each GM.
- I will post an image of the completed spreadsheet for all to review.
- Periodically during the season, I will post partial-season results.
- At season's end, I will post the final results and announce the winners.
Fin (New York Mets) is the defending champion (22 correct). Can Fin repeat? Can another GM claim the championship? Join in the fun! You can't earn Paramount Credits if you don't play. Enter before Monday evening!

Tardy Roster Expansion EditionI had intended to publish a roster expansion edition, but it took a back seat to a vacation trip. I just returned from the Saratoga Springs region of upstate New York. With two weeks remaining in the season, the contest leaders are: - First Place tie with 19 correct = John/MIL and Rich/SDN
- Third Place tie with 18 correct = Sean/CIN, Tim/SFN, and Mac/CAR
Competition for Paramount Credits is fierce. With two weeks remaining in the regular season, most teams are locked in to their current position. The most likely possibility of movement is in the NL East, the AL West, and the AL South. Good luck, everyone, as we head toward the playoffs.
