Thanks, I know that works. I should have been clearer. I actually only want
to cycle through some of the fields, not all. For instance, other fields
that are posted are the player ID, Week ID, and number of Games.

So I really want to just grab a subset of all the posted fields, the subset
being the first (or last) x fields, x being the number of games. I know I
could use the loop below with an incrementing variable and an exit, but I
just feel that I'm missing something more elegant.
