    So I was going to see if the Admins would consider keeping the 1st and second place teams together for the next year .... vote!

    I think this would encourage even MORE friendships and hunting opportunities as it is amazing how much more you get to know eachother when you are on eachother's teams for 2 years ....

    So guys, what do you think?

    Well I don't know if my vote counts since i'm piggy backing on you guys from last year but in the short time I've been on the team I've made some already great friends and can only see it getting better.

    I vote yes

    Competition brings out the best, and the worst in everyone. I don't believe in competitive killing. Some things are still sacred in this world, and making them publicly competitive is a good way to start ruining them. I know this is just for fun here, but it's the spirit of a thing. You know?

    Um ....no ... I don't know ... it's just for fun and I haven't seen many take it any other way ... hence the poll .... the longer people would be together, the longer they get to know each other..

    So are you saying that, you are assuming 2nd place and that team 6 isn't going to win?

    I would love to battle it out against last year's 2nd place winner ... it was close ...

    Not in this years contest cause of a bum arm but ran it for more years than I can remember on HNI where this one spun from, I vote for 1st place only to stay together... from the contest concept, they are they defending champions and earned it, 2nd place shouldn't defend second place... IMO

    Well, it doesn't really matter to me, but given your three choices I chose the third - new teams every year for everyone. If you're out to encourage MORE friendships and hunting opportunites it seems to me that it would make more sense to make EVERYONE mix it up with a new group every year.
