One suggestion for SPG - entry confirmations are great, especially for verification that I entered a contest, but the recurring confirmation email after I play each day is just a tad annoying, after the first day.
I don't believe the Design Hotels sent an email after every entry.

I think the website is down. I tried signing in with 2 different accounts (mine and my SO's) and both gave me an error message.
Starwood, time to invest some money in your IT!

Well, the game worked, not that I actually won anything...
I did once win a trip to Oktoberfest in Munich from *wood, so I really can't complain.
Cheers,

I know nothing about baseball. I assume it's all just random - that there isn't really a strategy here in picking teams or pitches.

I'm assuming it's random, and whether you win a prize just depends on the time-stamp of your entry and its proximity to the time a prize is auto-generated.

I must be really lucky this year and last year as I have won 5k points for the Get In the Game and the Design hotel puzzle for 10K points.
Very happy indeed

Can anyone explain the scoring system ?
It starts with Strikes=0 Outs=2, and changes to Strikes=1 Outs=1 after the first (strike) ball. Why does Outs reduce ?

Based in Europe, so no clue about baseball. Luckily I just won 5k points, don't even know which team I chose. I'm sorry for you experts in the US and whereever baseball is popular. The win happened right after the first throw. Thank you, SPG, I don't deserve it, but love it !
