The Musher Draft So, who will your team support in the 2008 Iditarod? |
The Musher Draft is the process by which your team selects the musher you want to follow during the Iditarod. The first thing your team has to do is to research all the mushers. Then you will select twelve mushers, in order of preference, to take to the Musher Draft. Who will your teaam choose to back? Will it be Lance Mackey, last year's winner? Or maybe you'd prefer to back Martin Buser, or Jeff King, or John Baker, or Paul Gebhardt, or... There are just so many great teams out there to choose from! Good luck to everyone!
