Kinger - not true. I've been a member here for six years and made over 2,000 posts and only entered one free contest in six years. But I haven't supported the site in the last year and don't deserve to be involved.
I applaud what you're trying to do, but picking one poster over another is a slippery slope. Everyone loves the idea now, but when you start rejecting posters with thousands of posts, it's not going to end well. There will be resentment and jealousy, and there should be. You're giving away a lot of money.

Think you misunderstood. I think the other sites should do something like EOG w their followers. And then in theory we have top 2 or 3 from each site have a playoff contest for bragging rites.
And I already sponsored a contest here...

And the posters who get "rejected" as you called it will be given a chance to win some money another way with a much easier chance then defeating a feild of 16..
This has been thought out a bit more then just this contest relizing there is more than 16 posters who deserve it..

We're going to try to take care of all our guys this football season. We'll have plenty of more for EOG posters.

Re: The $10,000 EOG Inviational-- Who's making it in?
I do not think that is true. I was selected for whatever reason the EOG staff had in mind for the contest. Sure, I have been around here for some years, and sure, I post alot of useless stuff in the 100K thread, and sure, I do not post a lot of selections. But why would I be upset if I was not selected, EOG owes me nothing, and they owe nobody here anything either. It is a fun place to hang for sports talk and such, and I do not expect anything from EOG nor do I need to think they have to want me either. My feelings would not have been at all hurt if not selected, and yes, I am still in awe at being invited. EOG is making great strides with radio, twitter, facebook and all the contest that other forums have not. Again, they owe me nothing as a poster, and I never ever dreamed I would be selected, I don't roll that way looking for handouts and if not given, take my ball and move on and I certainly do not and would not hold a grudge against EOG for passing me by, who am I to think otherwise.

Clearly I have no shot at this and rightly so, but for me to get the well informed opinions of those that will be selected (Winbet, Winky, Fish, OSU, Onesweetworld,Cheapseats, Ray,Irishtim,Munson,AA,Clay,Heim,Carolina, Weinke, Micelli et al..) is a tremendous value.
Gents, I am looking forward to listening to you all. BOL.
PS: Tuck, I hope the picks will be at WA numbers at the time of the selection.

2,000-2,999 posts, you get $2k
1000-1999 posts, you get $1k

For the Record - I would make ONE somewhat Radical change for Round 1
Round 1: Best 8 records advance
No H2H because as we saw with the Stardust competition you can have someone advance going 2-5 because his opponent went 1-5-1 or worse and you can have someone eliminated who went 5-2 because their opponent went 5-1-1 or better. I'm sure we all recall the week Ken advanced going 2-5 when his opponent went 1-5-1. Ken felt awful about moving on - as he should have. Going 2-5 shouldn't be rewarded while 5-2 is punished.
First Round - I'd like to see T8 records advance and starting in Round 2 - NOW make it H2H
One more suggestion:
ANYONE going 7-0 in a week should get some sort of BONUS! With at least 30 picks to be made (Might be more if Rounds are allowed to finish in ties) there is a chance someone will go 7-0 but I'd bet a decent chunk of change NO ONE does. Anyone going 7-0 gets $500 donated to their charity no matter how they do the next Round (and if it is the Finals - still $500 Bonus to the Winner's Charity). We need to Reward Excellence and anyone going 7-0 did an Excellent Job.

I like the drama and intrigue of a head-to-head format.
Pool play steals some of that excitement.

Is the organization
"Breast Implants for Topless Dancers" a charity?
By the way, I think that you should have a short contest for the last 2 spots among any poster not invited who has over 1000 posts for instance. That would give everyone a chance.
