Quick question for Mekola:

How much longer do you want this thread to stay open for as the practice has got underway?

Mekola · 17 Oct 2008, 15:43 (Ref:2314803)

The deadline will be at 23:59 GMT Hour of Sunday, October 19th.
Noted at previous editions that many posted lately the champ predictions, then I decided (as a test) to move the deadline to next Sunday to see what happens.
