I am making one small change.

1) You must use your real name. No aliases. It’s too difficult for me to find aliases with email addresses.
2) Pick’s only accepted thru emails. Do not email your selections until Monday night after finish of American Idol. Picks must be in by Tuesday noon PST.
3) As always my decision is final on any disputes. Do not enter if you do not accept this.
4) I might give bonus points from time to time.
5) Prizes will be announced by Monday.

First week

Pick one male and one female contestant. You accumulate the points shown below for your picks finish. Do not email picks until after Monday night's show.
Finish
1 16 points
2 15 points
3 14 points
4 13 points
5 12 points
6 11 points
7 10 points
8 09 points
9 08 points
10 7 points
11 6 points
12 5 points
13 4 points
14 3 points
15 2 points
16 1 point

Pick the next four contestants that you believe will be eliminated next week. Pick them and give them a point value. You will receive the highest point value for one contestant eliminated plus one point for any other contestant picked correctly. Do not email picks until after Monday night's show.

Example
16 points … John Doe
15 points …..Jane Doe
14 points…...Tom Smith
13 points …..Sue Smith

If you picked Jane Doe and Tom Smith correctly and missed the other two you would receive 16 points.
