I don't like this format much. If you take it even semi-seriously, then you're committing your attention for 6 months. You could run a 60-day streak of successful show picks, have by far the longest streak, but still feel you need to start a new streak in case someone passes your 60.
Previously there was satisfaction in watching the field quickly narrow down. Going from 6000 entrants to 600 usually took, what, a week? Now there will be 6000 for the duration. That said, the new format is a smart move by SA. Instead of a handful of people paying attention after the first 2 weeks, they will probably have thousands still playing and paying attention for months. --Dunbar
