We are going to be doing our Staying Alive contest again this year. As before, the concept is pretty simple and succeeding should be pretty easy at first, but strategy early on will greatly impact how you do as the contest proceeds. The objective of the contest is to make like the Bee Gees and "Stay Alive".

 

Here is how it works:

• Each week you will pick one team from each of the four classifications that you believe will win that week.
  
• The only catch is the team you pick to win has to be playing a 2005 playoff team of equal or higher classification. You can not use a team playing an out of state opponent.
  
• You may only pick an individual team to win one time. Meaning if for instance you pick St. X to win in Week #1, you can never use St. X again.
  
• Everyone who gets all four teams correct will advance to play again the next week.
  
• If you are eliminated or do not compete in any week, you will not be eligible to continue.
  
• A quality prize goes to the winner. Check here for a reference.

Your entry each week should be in the following format:

 

A: Team

AA: Team

AAA: Team

AAAA: Team

 

Do not post anything that is not an entry. If you do so, the post(s) will be deleted. If you are not eligible to participate (eliminated in a prior week), DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD.

 

The deadline for all entries is 5 pm (ET) Friday.

 

Good luck to all!

A few of you need to remember that the requirement is that the team win this week. Some teams have been chosen that are not playing. Fern Creek & Christian County for example.

This is my corrected entry. Thanks, DragonFire!

Since 4A is causing so much difficulty, here is a list of the eligible teams for this week: (teams that may be chosen on the left, 2005 4A playoff teams on the right)

 

Daviess County (playing Marshall County)

Seneca (playing John Hardin)

Lincoln County (playing PRP)

Butler (playing Meade County)

Greenwood (playing Ballard)

Holmes (playing South Laurel)

Tates Creek (playing George Rogers Clark)

 

If the team you chose is not on this list, you need to pick again, or you'll be out after week one.
