___________________________

Notes:

1. These topics are just to get us started; we can add more as time goes. I'm more or less out of ideas, so PM me ideas and I will add them in.

2. To sign up to write a "Concept of the Week," PM me and I'll add you as the author to the schedule.

3. When you sign up, you are committing only to start the thread, not holding yourself out as an expert. You can do so by writing a theory post, posting a hand history (or more) that pertains to the subject, or just asking some questions that pertain to the subject.

4. If you sign up to start the thread, START IT. I reserve the right to lower the ban hammer on oath-breakers who say they will start a thread and then let everybody down. I probably won't, but don't risk it. 😃

5. If a subject is two weeks away and unassigned, I'll go looking for a volunteer; if it is one week away and unassigned, I will do it myself, so don't bother signing up less than a week in advance.

6. The current plan is for the "Concept of the Week," Thread to stay open and stickied for one week, and be locked when the next one gets posted. At the end of the week it is up for, the thread title in the original post here will be converted to a link to the thread itself.

GOGOGOGO!
