OK guys no one else has started one that I'm aware of so I have created a yahoo group for the contest. The rules are below and just as Anthony has done in the past I just copied his rules from before. If you want in just post in the thread and after we get the final number of players I'll post the payout scale. Season starts in 3 weeks so jump on in if you're interested. The last few years have been fun and interesting and I'm looking forward to it again!
Rules:
1) Ante is 10 cigars.
2) You have up until 5 minutes prior to the beginning of each game to make your selection.
3) Once the contest is over and shooting solutions are plotted, please endeavor to complete your fire control missions in a timely manor. Two weeks should be more than sufficient.
4) If you are interested, post in the thread first( ie: "IN") , the send me a PM. Include your email address. I'll send you the Group ID and password.
Ante Guidelines.
1) Absolutely no dog turds. One would expect to receive quality smokes. Therefore, one should be willing to risk the same. No five or ten packs of $2-$3 cigars. Though one may enjoy them, most others would consider them yard gars at best. Likewise, a $50 Gurkha that retails for $3 is not considered a good cigar.
2) Keep in mind that in the past most players included at least a few aged premiums therefore it is only fair that all others endeavor to risk something similar.
3) On the other hand, it is understood that not everyone has a stash of aged super premiums. But, there should be ample time between now and the end of the contest to pick up a selection of good, though not necessarily aged cigars.
To play you have to meet one of the following:
1) Been a Cbid member for at least 6 months and have 3 verifiable completed trades, or have a vet vouche for you.
2) If you don't meet 1) then PM me. We can arrange for you to send me your ante and 1 extra stick to cover postage.
You must send me a valid email address. It is way easier to send out a group email than it is to send individual pm's through CBid. I will use the bcc option so as to not share anyone's email.
I would really appreciate you using your EXACT CBid handle when you create your pick set. That way I can post the weekly results without having to do a bunch of editing.
