It's back. After leaving last year's winner waiting a long time, I finally dished over the cash, whether she shows up anymore or not. Anywho, it's back, and it's the same game, with a few changes. This time around, if you enter this contest, come May/June when the Spurs' fate will be settled, I will eliminate the posters who entered the contest who have not posted within 2 months of the end of the Spurs' season. All this does is eliminate the people who enter in now, and don't ever show up again. One more change: for the posters who already have SM's you can still enter the contest and win, but I will reward you with a **** load of Ucash points instead of the SM. I have tons of ucash stored away in the bank, and I'll keep it there for this contest. Here are the rules, copy and pasted from the last thread:
There will be two "pools": GO Spurs, or NO Spurs. If you think the Spurs will win the 2005/2006 title, you will put GO Spurs. If not, put NO Spurs. Names will be put into the different pools, and based on the Spurs performance this season, one "pool" will win, and one "pool" will lose. If the Spurs win, all names under the GO Spurs "pool" will then be put into a hat, then I will randomly draw a name, and the name I randomly draw will get a paid SM from your truly. If the Spurs don't win the championship, the NO Spurs pool will win, and the same process will follow. So, all you have to do is sign up one way or the other, wait for the fate of the Spurs' season, and hope your name will be drawn. This is legit too; I'm not the type to make false promises to strangers. And no, I'm not the type who will cheat and "randomly" select the name of my favorite poster. If that was the case, I'd just give that person $10 straight-up. Like stated in the above paragraph, if your name is drawn and you are already a supporting member, I will dish out 500,000 ucash points to the winner. Looking at the richest members list according to Ucash, 500,000 points would put you at 2nd on the entire site, so I'd say that 500,000 is a fair amount. And yes, I do have that many points available to me right now. Remember, just leave your name, and either Go Spurs or No Spurs. For example:
KokoTheMonkey - Go Spurs
Let the games begin. The final date to sign up is at the end of the calendar year, meaning December 31st, 2005. Good luck.

Heh, you're not counting those who wisely put their money in the bank, cause those don't show. I mean, I myself got over 800,000 in the bank last time I checked.
No spurs thread posts requirement? Alrite then. Not tryin to pressure ya or nothing. It was just an idea. Anyways, GO SPURS GO!!!!
Now it's time to sit back and watch this thread build up 30 pages worth of participants to totally put my game to shame. Maybe I should make mine more simpler like yours next year. Too many lazy people on this board :biggrin:

quick question...if i guess rite now you will elimnate me in june? I dont understand
That's what I first thought when I read it, but I knew thst couldn'tbe rite. So I re-read and what it means is that if you enter (doesn't have to be now) and you haven't posted for a while, you'll be eliminated. That way he doesn't waste his money on someone who won't ever use it.

No, no, no. If you guess now, and let's say, don't ever post again at this site, you'll be eliminated. As long as you have posted within 2 months of the end of the Spurs' season, whether they don't make the playoffs, get eliminated early from the playoffs, or win the championship. So, let's say the Spurs get beat in the playoffs in June. I will go through and look at all the contestants who haven't posted on the site within 2 months from the date, which would be May/June, and they will be eliminated. The purpose of this is to get rid of the people who entered the contest who haven't been active on the site. It wouldn't be a very productive contest if I picked a poster's name who hasn't been on the site since December. Understand?

"I don't really look at guys and memorize players, but (Bosh) is very impressive. He can shoot, he has an inside game, physical at times, he's pretty good...he's more than holding his own." - Shaq
"I really like him...to me he's already pretty special," Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki said after continually getting beat to the basket by Bosh. "He's going to be a great player in this league."
"Chris Bosh really has emerged to be a star in this league. There are more than the top three (in the 2003 draft)." - Dwyane Wade
I love everything about him, I love his game, I love his work ethic. He definitely has my approval - Kobe Bryant"
