It is with deep regret that I have to announce my retirement from managing Pick Quick. I have enjoyed my time running this fun little game, but due to circumstances and other responsibilities, I feel that I cannot give enough time to oversee & maintain the competition, as all of you quick pickers deserve. I wish to thank everyone involved for the past 3 years or so and apologise sincerely for last years unfinished competition.

If someone else would like to keep this game alive for the 2010/11 season, I would be willing to assist them in the early stages.

Also if anyone wanted to update last years scores and find out who actually won, I could email them the spreadsheet.

Yours,

Maccaroon

That's a shame Macc, but understand. I know it is a long and hard slog running side games, especially season long ones. Thanks for the memories! :wink:

If the loss of Cyki and Tffo wasn't bad enough, now Pick Quick's gone too - this recession has got a lot to answer for.

Spencer4 won't know what to do on Thursdays now he no longer has the challenge of being the first to pick quick :wink:

Thanks Maccaroon for providing so many of us with a little game that produced disproportionate pleasure relative to it's complexity,and good luck in whatever alternative way you spend the time henceforth.

Maccaroon, thanks for all your hard work running this side game over the years. For some bizarre reason I enjoyed this more than most of the other games I play, even though I was normally one of the last to pick so never did that well. Oh well I won't need to spend my Thursday's trawling through lists of out-of-favour players that nobody else has already picked now :)

Sorry to see the game shelved, maccaroon. It was great while it lasted. Here's hoping it gets revived some day.
Best of luck with 'other business'. :)
