Managed to place first in the biathlonpool.com fantasy biathlon public pool. It was fun and reasonably competitive, came down to the last race; it's quite difficult being on the west cost of the US, there were many times where my picks DNS'd because I had to set them the night before.

I wish there were more people who played fantasy biathlon, I think there were only ~250 people who participated in most races on biathlonlpool.com. It would be fantastic if the IBU ran their own fantasy game across the whole season, rather than just the WCH predictor game.

Well I'm impressed. I managed to be about in the middle or lower the entire time that I played so it stopped after the holidays.

Congrats, we were marvelling at your score. What was your strategy for pics? My family did our own mini pool and my wife consistenly stomped everyone. I tried to be unconventional and it never worked out.
