Race For The Lid XII
« on: March 30, 2011, 10:52:42 am »
It's baaaaack! Yes, the game you all pay waaaaay too much attention to and get underoos in a bunch about has made its return to the TZ.  The heck with March Madness Brackets, you know as well as I do that the RFTL is really the primo game in town.  We will award a lid to the winner.

You ready... here you go...
RACE FOR THE LID XII

Contest Rules:
________________________________________
1.  Whatever the rules are, BudGirl (your RFTL judge and jury for 2010) 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.  Particularly griping.
________________________________________
2.  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 posts are in this thread.  Posts out of this thread are DQ’d unless BudGirl changes the rules.
________________________________________
4.  One choice per person.
________________________________________
5. If there are gaps in the high picks, say, between 95 and 162, the high pick gets the gaps down to the next highest pick.  This does not work in reverse, i.e., below 95.  We all lose if the Astros win fewer than the low 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 POSTINGS WILL BE ACCEPTED UNTIL THE OFFICIAL COMMENCEMENT TIME, WHICH IN THIS CIRCULAR DEFINITION WILL BE ON OR ABOUT 10:00 a.m., Thursday, MARCH 31ST (the Official Commencement Time).  Anyone who post before then will be DQ'd.________________________________________
8.  No entries will be accepted after the first pitch on Opening Day.
________________________________________
9.  If there is no correct entry BudGirl will find a winner by a method created in her mind or with some help.
________________________________________
10.  Here’s the list of past winners:

2010 Lurch
2009 Ron Brand
2008 EasTexAstro
2007
2006  Fredia (who PM'ed me and called me every name in the book... misspelled of course)
2005  Drew Corleone
2004  Andyzipp
2003  Jim R
2002  no winner
2001  Neil T. (See how arbitrary and capricious his rulemaking can be?  He didn’t even enter the contest until the 161st game, right after he disqualified the real winner.)
2000  no winner, but one heck of a whiner
1999  Astrobabe

Good Luck!

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

I can't decide between 64 or 99...  64 or 99... Damn,  pessimism wins out... 64.

ETA: Fuck that shit! Make it 104 goddamn it!

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

________________________________________
5. If there are gaps in the high picks, say, between 95 and 162, the high pick gets the gaps down to the next highest pick.  This does not work in reverse, i.e., below 95.  We all lose if the Astros win fewer than the low pick.
________________________________________

Based on this, do we not already have a winner?  Astros at 54 wins with 6 left to play:  SaltyParker (62) gets the gap over HH (48). 

Game over.
