Oh man !!!

swishers????

too rich for my blood!!!

i was thinking more on the line of blunts , they come in a variety of facinating flavors !!

and thier so versitile !!! with a couple different uses!!

Great...that's 5 of us that agree on 11 sticks and winner sends 25 to second place !

boy-o-boy does that make me wonder................

now second place..............

they still send the winner 11 sticks............

but when the winner sends them the 25 , it has to be totally different ( don't want to return what they sent do ya)?

Oh i'm getting a headache.................

this was so easy when i was originally thinking it up.

hahaha....oh-man!

:)

WHO WANT'S CARL EDWARDS!!!!!

'dup - in previous pools, 2nd place would get 20% of the winnings, and not have to send anything to 1st place . . . . It's your pool, and you should have final say on the rules, but I'd suggest that 2nd place doesn't have to pay out . . . Sending cigars would only serve to detract from winning anything . . . .

Also, a couple other points - Get everyone's email addresse's and keep folks updated via email during the chase . . . 2 months is a long time to keep track of everyone on Cbid, and by the time the chase ends, you may not be hearing from some folks again . . . . I can vouch for Gonesledn & Eric, as they have played in my pools before . . . .

Another thing, is to try to round up everyones mailing addresss ahead of time - it's much easier to have the winners address ready, and you can just email it to everyone immediately following Homestead . . . then, just periodically check with the winner to make sure everyone's been sending their packages to him . . .

Obviously, communication is a big key to making these run smoothly . . . . .

Shoot me an email when you get a chance . . .

Good job on the pool, thanks for setting it up . . . .

. . . But, I still think Jimmy Spencer will win it all . . . .

hey 'dup-

seth is the man in the know about these kinda things, he's run a few similiar contests 😉

actually it's one of his nascar pools I was thinking of with the split--just didn't remember all the details.

k.-

Man!!!!

just when the ibuprophine was kicking in!!!

lol!!!

..............i'm think'n.............................

(new to the boards,first try at this pool thing ,low on ibuprophine).......................................

so "don't" send 11 sticks to the winner ???

send 8 to the winner and 3 to the second place winner?

and second place doesn't send anything??

or does second place send 8 to the winner and the winner send the second place winner 3 ????

making this sound harder than it is aren't i???

i mean i don't want to upset any players but it made more sense and easier on shipping charges (hate to sound cheap) if "all 11" were sent to the winner.

then after it was suggested (which sounded good) second place would recieve 25 sticks

yeah....i'll shoot ya an email!!!

lol

hey seth...maybe if he was still driving "mongo" hehehe

I like your first Idea.

11 to the winner and he sends 25 to 2nd place

Saves effort and postage for all non winners

ST

exactly !!! dadank73

that's what i'm thinking !!!

instead of sending 2 pkgs you only send one !!

and i was thinking.....it would only work out to 99.....but hey!! i'll send 12 just to make it an even 100 !!

*****Listen up******

I know i thought this up and started it but it's a group effort and a group pool.

since i don't want anyone upset or "put-out" by changing anything....we "ALL" should agree on this!!

i'm sorry i just tossed it out and it's changed a bit... but i do kinda like the second place idea !

so all of us need to sound off on this to seal the details in stone

as i said i don't want to ruffle any feathers here since i'm new!

i just wanted to get with some other nascar people here and have a little friendly competition among friends !! this is tougher than this newbie thought it was going to be!!!

Phukdup,

Sounds good to me! BTW not really a Rusty fan. He (as you said) has too big a mouth. I would justlike to see one of the "old guys" win. And, since it looks like Martin will be around next year, I had to pick Mr. Wallace.

Later.....Erik

'dup: heres my email

I'm good for it, thanks for the contest!

Phukdup,

looks like things got a tad bit complicated.

it will be fun either way, just let us know what is decided.

great advice from Seth.

Ok,

I guess this is the way it is set up !!!

Everyone has a driver

When the "CHAMPION" is anounced , all others will send the winner 11 decent mid-range cigars..( or more if they wish )...along with a congrat's card for second place winner

The champion / winner will then take out of the 100 cigars 25 good ones!! and place the congrat's cards from all others in a pkg to be sent to the second place winner

That's still 75 to the "CHAMPION" and 25 to the runner-up !!

This is it.... and if you still are willing to and want to stay in......email me your snailer ! and i'll put-em in a file for later!!
