Hey Viking. I actually almost forgot to pick as I was working and got it in 2 minutes before game time. You could have waited until last minute if you are so paranoid. Hope this makes you feel better.

Viking, I can personally vouch that while Cellar Master is competitive, there's not a mean-spirited bone in his body.
On top of all that, because we have the rule that you are not allowed to change your picks once made, it actually rewards the contestants who pick first as they lock in their preferences and those who wait to pick are forced to choose between making the same picks (if that's their preference), or choosing opposite and hoping the games go their way so they can tie or pull ahead (and if you all wish to discuss changing that rule for next year, I'm totally open to it). Ultimately, it is your choice whether you wish to make your picks public or privately with Renegade (thank you for offering to do that R), but I kinda like seeing the struggle play out for all to see.
If you wish to send them privately, please click on RenegadeCJ's username to go to his Profile Page, then send him a Private Message and make sure you get it in before game time.
Remember too that this contest is all for fun. You don't have to pay in to play, but you have a chance to win $250 in gift certificates to the My Mountain Town advertiser(s) of your choice (including Cellar Master!)! No hard feelings allowed.
Good luck!

I am using talk to text so you need to ignore my typos. First of all I never said that in a mean-spirited way or that they were doing anything in a malicious way at all! I am just remembering back to when Vice Lord was ahead of me by a couple of days a few years ago and kept waiting for my pics and kept making the same pic so I had no chance to gain on him until we change the rule. The people who are ahead could just pick the exact same teams as the people behind them they would be guaranteed a win.
and remember that the rule when they where the person in the lead should make the first pick to give the person behind them any chance at all otherwise pretty much the season is over if everybody just makes the same picks.
but I definitely did not mean that in a negative way using the name Vice Lord which is definitely negative. but we did put that rule in place for a reason because he was just trying to ride out here and make sure I never had a chance to catch him.
