Welcome to the 2011-12 southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season Betting pools! Enjoy!

To keep it fun, don't bet on storms that have already formed!

No actual betting is going on here(that i'm aware of)

Informal betting on Strangest storm
I couldn't resist. What storm do you think will shred the rules of climatology the most? Please tell why, it makes it more fun.

This section is just for fun. There will likely be no winner. Because of this, please do not cross out the names as they form. Also, please do not bet on a storm that has already formed. You may bet on only one storm from each basin.
