Title: Race for the Lid XVII
Post by: BudGirl on April 02, 2015, 01:33:26 pm: You ready... here you go...
RACE FOR THE LID XVII
Contest Rules:
________________________________________
1. Whatever the rules are, BudGirl (your RFTL judge and jury for 2015) can change them any time for any reason, including whim. The purpose of this rule is not to promote chaos, but to preempt wailing, moaning, whining, and griping.
________________________________________
2. A Pick is determined by the number of wins. Picks below 80 should not win, even if they’re right they’re wrong. They will be accepted and you can be a winner but no one will like you.
________________________________________
3. All picks are in this thread. Picks out of this thread are DQ’d unless BudGirl changes the rules.
________________________________________
4. One pick per person.
________________________________________
5. If there are gaps in the high picks, say, between 95 and 162, the low pick gets the gaps down to the next highest pick. This does not work in reverse, i.e., above 95. We all win if the Astros win more than the high pick.
________________________________________
6. The grand prize, of course, is an Astros cap of BudGirl's choosing from Astros.com. BudGirl is allowed to make rulings on prize disputes that may arise... namely; she gets to tell you to go to hell if you whine that you should get the prize!
________________________________________
7. NO PICKS WILL BE ACCEPTED UNTIL THE OFFICIAL COMMENCEMENT TIME, WHICH IN THIS CIRCULAR DEFINITION WILL BE ON OR ABOUT 10:00 a.m., Friday, April 3rd and Close Monday, April 6th, at the first pitch of the Astros season opener against the Cleveland Indians. Anyone who posts before then will be DQ'd. No picks will be accepted after the first pitch on Opening Day, unless BudGirl decides otherwise.
________________________________________
8. Verification of picks is determined by BudGirl. If she needs help, she will request it.

9. If there is no correct pick BudGirl will find a winner by a method of her choosing.
________________________________________
10. Here’s the list of past winners:

2014 – HudsonHawk
2013 - Fynn
2012 – Ebby Calvin
2011 – no winner
2010 – Lurch
2009 - Ron Brand

Old age and treachery always wins...

The feature that tells you when there has been a new post since you started looking at a thread, is that still working?

I figure they have to have an off day every once in a while.

On the contrary, I thought it was a very good, and wise, pick.
