Covers Team,

I noticed on the Ultimate Race Main Page, under the Congratulations to Doug Knudson, you wrote "Register soon for the next Covers Contest's Ultimate Race"

Do you know roughly when that will be? I know you guys typically send an e-blast to all members with the announcement, just curious as to whether we are looking at a Spring time start (NBA / NHL Playoffs + MLB Regular Season) or Late Summer / Fall.

Love these contests you guys put out for us, much appreciation!
Jockeying for a Top 100 finish at this point; was hoping to redeem myself after collapsing down the stretch in the Fall '14 edition (Was 3rd at 190 Wins 1 GB of Leader, dropped to 19th and missed out on the Cash Prizes , and yes I have the screen grabs to show for it as a reminder of this missed opportunity)

Thank you,

runstopper52

I hope it is soon,hands down,definitely the best contest on covers.Cant wait for the next one.Great job on the 14 edition Runstopper,that had to be exciting,i cant imagine being that high up there at the end.I finished in 58th place in this one,highest place I was in ,was like 30th around the 170 mark,had a bad last 2 weeks.Even being in 3rd that far into it,is a major accomplishment,again great job.

Nice job Mayn!  Top-60 finish is solid nonetheless. Yeah, consistency is key in this contest, even if it's only two weeks, a rough patch will set you back unless A) everyone else is in a similar rut during the same time frame or B) you offset the mini slump with a reciprocal hot stretch.

This time around I started off hot, was as high as 3rd around the 50 Win mark, but similar to yourself, a rough patch towards the end of December pushed me out of contention.

Hopefully we'll get another crack at it sooner rather than later.

Do you do Streak Survivor or any of the King of Covers contests?

Ya I do SS and KOC on some sports,but not always daily.Thats why I really like the ult race,its something you got to follow and do everyday.I enjoy the SS monthly competition also,to see who gets the most wins in the month.

Im kinda glad this race ended when it did,this way we weren't forced to pick games in exhibition baseball,thats brutal having stakes on those games.

Yeah I'm with ya; KOC is tough to sustain long-haul, I'll give the major pro sports a shot, but soon enough the gap seems too wide to overcome. The Playoff editions are great for that reason in my opinion, long enough to have to earn it, but short enough to potentially avoid falling off a cliff.

Yeah Spring Training baseball may be the biggest coin flip of all the offerings. Although having to overcome the WNBA / CFL games in the Spring editions is no fun either.

Ya,i hear you about WNBA and CFL,if I remember correctly the one race they had ArenaFootballLeague games in there also,the over unders on the games were in like the 115 range.

When, indeed. I think it started mid Nov last year. I missed it :(. It will end when I get that 200th point.

I think the NBA has to start first before they start the fall Ultimate Race. Although the Covers staff does a much better job of keeping the start of these races secret than the US Government does with their top secret military secrets and information.

I hope the fact that I was registered last year means I am registered this year.
