Congratualtions Fred - You Win !!!

[clydepepper]

Hello All ! I don't know how your bracket is doing but mine just got busted by UAB and Georgia State???

I know I'm not alone if having been bush-wacked by these No. 14 nobodies, so I came up with a way for everyone to stay involved in the tournament:

I ran this by Leon and he said he did not believe me to be suggesting anything illegal as long as I stay completely transparent.

I also told him that I worried that 'everyone' may want to run something like this...which I do hope does not occur.

THE IDEA

THIS IS A RAFFLE FORMAT CONTEST. EACH FORUM MEMBER IS ALLOWED ONE $1 ENTRY - to be paid to my paypal account via friends option.

WHAT YOU ARE GUESSING:

The winner will be the nearest guess to the overall Free-Throw Percentage for all tournament games - the grand total not individual games...and does NOT include the four Play-in games.


NOTE: There WILL BE a winner - even if only one person enters, they still get the prize for one dollar! So, please...tell your friends LOL


I will include running Free-Throw Figures on this edited post after each day's games.

All entries ($1 payments) must be received by 6:00 PM ET, March 26 - an hour before the Sweet Sixteen begin.

My paypal address is raymondrculpepper@gmail.com

PLEASE- FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS PRIOR TO SENDING YOUR ENTRY.
Please post your questions to this thread, rather than via PM, so that all can benefit.


With your one dollar payment, be sure to use the 'comment' area to include your Net54 username and the Free-Throw percentage you want to guess.
This should be the only information you include. You should also post that information to this thread.

NOTE: Payment without identical posts will be honored according to the information with the Payment - Posts without Payment will NOT be recognized.


To resolve ties, guesses should five digits in length (ie .75001), instead of the standard three digits (ie .750). For any resulting ties, first guess received will win.



First Free-Throw totals will be added Friday, March 20 - and will be broken down by individual game, so all can be verified.

My source for these totals will be the game box scores as shown on ESPN.com


Current Overall Free-Throw Pct.: .72958 (updated 4/6, 11:33PM ET)


There is only one prize, but it is definitely worth a dollar!!

1964 Topps #136- World Series Game #1- KOUFAX STRIKES OUT 15 - PSA-6
FREE Shipping of course!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!

I should add I am not a lawyer so take my statement with a grain of salt concerning law. This could, I guess, technically be gambling, which would be illegal without a license, but I don't see it much differently than the thousands of group breaks that go on...good luck.

Ooops!

My brackets aren't busted, in fact I am likely to win 3 out of the 4 I entered, but I always like stuff like this.

Thanks Raymond,
