Time to sign up for the July Open Challenge. I'll give this at least 3 days, maybe a bit more. I hope we can get everyone who signs up this month to actually come back and report every week. I am just going to reprint the rules below and add a few minor things to clarify. Good luck in July everyone!

1. Everyone puts in how many hands they think they will play and then I will pick who will be matched up fairly unless people specifically challenge each other. If need be, there can be handicaps or several people taking on one person, but this must be set at the beginning of the month and can not be changed afterwards.
2. I will put up the thread to report total numbers every thursday [even next thursday]. I do not need your week total numbers, but all of the hands you have played up until that point in the month. You have until Sunday night at 11:59pm to report or you will lose 1k hands from your final total [unless you hae really good reason or I am told beforehand]. The results for the week will be posted every monday.
3. All hands will count for any game that you are a winner or trying to learn/win at. All live hands count as 35/hour and all hands that you don't/can't put into poker tracker online like some tournies or SNGs I think should count as 50/table/hour to air [how do you spell this word?] on the side of caution
cookie, however, brings up a good point and that is that drunken hands should count as negative because they are -EV. Of course I expect noone to be honest about this but I'm putting it in there anyway.
4. Whoever wins at the end of the month chooses the other's avatar and location, but it must not be something so offensive so as to get anyone banned. There will also be one standard issue avatar that everyone can use if they wish instead of finding their own. Creativity is still encouraged though.
