The Yahoo Challenge of the week has been revived!
We are going to have a Yahoo SpellDown Challenge!! Here is what you need to do to participate:
-> If you have not already, please register at Yahoo.com. It is free.
-> Sign-in with your Yahoo ID in this thread. If you don't, you won't get credit for your points.
-> Go to: <a href="http://games.yahoo.com/games/login2?page=wg" target="_blank">http://games.yahoo.com/games/login2?page=wg</a> The challenge begins immediately and ends at 11:59 pm on July 2nd (Tuesday night). It doesn't matter which room you choose to play in.
-> Yahoo will automatically update your highest score, each time it is achieved. Whoever has the highest score dated between 6/26 and 7/2 will be declared the winner!
To make the game more enjoyable and competitive, you can add everyone's Yahoo name to your Yahoo Messenger list. Once inside your game room, if you click the "Friends" Tab, it will show you up-to-date results. The complete version of Yahoo Messenger (similar to AIM) does NOT need to be downloaded to do this.
It's up to Pooh, UDC, LT, or any of the others whether or not this will an official NCAAbbs Cup game.
If you have any questions let me know.
[EDIT: The game has been extended through July 2nd]
