More people, more dinero

My brother-in-law Matt has worked in sales. He had convinced six of his co-workers to join our competition which means he is good at his job and deserves a raise. They are Daniel, Brenda, Danny, Matt, Sandy, and Alex. I don't have any last names so for now the co-worker Matt and Alex, who have the same name as other competitors, will be referred to as Matt Z. and Alex Z. Boys, if you don't like that, email me your last names!

This also adds $120 to our pot. Last year we had a random prize for a weekly weight loss winner and I thought it would be fun to add that. So, $20 will go to two weekly $10 prizes that will happen at random during the competition. I'll let you know in advance when we'll do those.

That leaves $100. By executive order the $$$ totals will now be as follows:

1st-$340

2nd-$130

3rd-$50

4th-$20

Two random weekly prizes-$20

This is just me and my noble team of advisors' idea so if anyone has grievances let me know. It was suggested that with such a large group it would be nice to include money back for a fourth place and I agreed.

Whew, this year is kicking last year's tail, we have doubled our number of participants! I hope you're all sweating it out this week!
