This contest takes no skill - but it is not that easy either. We've done this in the past when things are quiet in the basin, so lets try it again and give you something to ponder. If you are good with climatology and statistics it might help - but then again it might not. The contest is in two parts:

1. What is your best guess for the date that Tropical Storm Bertha will be named?

2. What is your best guess for the date that the first Hurricane will be assigned, i.e., the date for the first time this season that a Tropical Storm becomes a Hurricane?

I'll use Universal Time (GMT) to determine the dates and I'll close off the contest at the end of the day on July 1st - that gives you up to ten days to develop your answers. Remember, this is just a 'fun' thing, but somebody is going to get lucky. I'll post my 'guesses' when I close out the contest. Give it your best shot - its open to everyone.
Cheers,
ED
