Everyone thinks they are a Guru when it comes to Picking the winners at shows so how about something fun this year...

How about an "O" pool? Work in progress but how about everyone puts in $5 with monies being sent to an impartial party, maybe Ron, Bob or Isaac, either checks made to cash or perhaps one of these gents can set up a paypal acct and we all transfer monies in.

From here we pick a date where all entries have to be submitted, guessing the Top 10

Work it on a point system

"O" winner worth 100 pts
2nd place 90 pts
3rd place 80 pts

and so on.

We can decided if it is a winner take all, top 3 etc....

Winner can get colored stars as the Guru etc etc

Heck we get 20 people that's $100 bucks right there...dinner with wife, supplements, whatever..

Thoughts?

Im in

Captain Equipoise · « **Reply #4 on:** August 21, 2010, 03:51:29 PM »

I'm in but make it realistic like top 5 or top 3, no way anyone will get top 10, too many variables..

CC973 · « **Reply #5 on:** August 21, 2010, 03:53:59 PM »

I'm down.

littleguns · « **Reply #6 on:** August 21, 2010, 05:57:05 PM »

Ok,

Do we need to actually send money to an impartial person or can we truly be adults and send the winner monies?

Do we want top 5 or 10?

Do we want 1 overall winner or 3?

Anyone that is in, PM me so I can build a sheet and update as things go along

disturbia · « **Reply #7 on:** August 21, 2010, 06:05:15 PM »

pick top 10
top 20% get paid

stuntmovie · « **Reply #8 on:** August 21, 2010, 06:11:56 PM »

I say top five and winner or winners take all.

But I'm in no matter what decision is made.

At this point in time, I'd like to suggest a $10 entry fee but once again, I'm in regardless.

Now who the fuck are these guys anyway!?

Agreed with this, we can even PayPal Ron the money to hold in escrow.

Nice idea - I'm all for it.

Let me know if it gets going and I'll throw my money in the hat too.

Everyone that is in....PM me

C) One winner or 3......

littleguns · « **Reply #21 on:** August 23, 2010, 05:24:48 PM »

7 ppl thus far

Who else is in?

stuntmovie · « **Reply #22 on:** August 26, 2010, 12:03:09 PM »

Me is in! Any way you choose to run it, but I'd prefer top five to make it somewhat easier to tabulate.

But I'm in regardless.

Captain Equipoise · « **Reply #23 on:** August 26, 2010, 03:07:12 PM »

I'm 100% in as well..

top 5 or 10? I would prefer 5 because 10 will be next to impossible to win..

how do we get this set up with ron

time is ticking...

let's have whoever gets it win ({if there are more then 1 persons winning)

TTT

littleguns · « **Reply #24 on:** August 30, 2010, 04:13:47 AM »

Ok so this is what we have

$10 entrance fee. I am going on the Honesty system. Once a winner has been declared, all participants will be required to mail monies to the winner, if someone does not pay they will be suspended from GB.....Can we all agree on the honesty system?

Picks:

Top 5 and the #10 winner (this will be counted for any tie-breakers that may arise)

Point System

#1 - 10 pts
#2 - 9 pts
#3 - 8 pts
#4 - 7 pts
#5 - 6 pts
#10 - 25pts (only added if needed to break any ties)

Olympia takes place Sept 25th so what say all choices be posted by 9/22......for any choices to be valid they must be posted no later than the 22nd and also IM'ed to me directly so there is no funny business...

Thoughts/comments? Otherwise let the games begin!
