Generally they will be shorter then this first round. I had/am having a busy week at work and didn't know if I would have time to start the next round. I am planning on starting round two Saturday afternoon, so get those guesses in!

In general, the noobs seem to have better results than the so-called non-noobs

Not to be too picky, but.....I have to comment about the scoring. You have the noobs & the non-noobs in separate contests, but sharing the same points. It would seem to me that you should give 10 points to the top noob, 10 points to the top non-noob, 8 points to second noob, 8 points to second non-noob, etc.

Yea, I know... I was trying to decide about this... If the two were entirely seperate then someone in each category could guess the same amount... I went with this way to try and avoid the confusion that might result from that. There is still going to be a prize for each catagory, and I don't think it will effect things too much. If there are any major objections please voice them...
