It's really simple- the skipper with the largest number of warm bodies on their team and the largest number of views of their video wins. So, follow Cidnie, watch the video, and tell your friends to watch the video. Better yet, just email the link to everybody in your address book.
Come on, it's not like you haven't forwarded them worse stuff.
Thanks a heap Jonesy and the residents of Dock Six!
