NCAA Brackets - Cash/Prizes - Who's In?

[Jeremy]

Hey Guys & Gals,

It is coming up on that time of the year again. I realize everyone is just getting over their degenerate football betting season, but it's almost here, the NCAA Championship tournament!

I realize I make you guys live through design changes, occasional slow servers, indecisiveness, and random floating red dots. So allow me to at least give you the opportunity to have some fun and win some $$ or prizes once in a while.

This year, along with Atil and the affiliate team at CarbonPoker.com, we are sponsoring an NCAA Brackets competition.

Last year we gave away a set of dual monitors and cash added from Sportsbook.com.

This year I am thinking of giving the winner a couple options, for example the choice of dual monitor package, a Herman Miller Aeron Chair, Cash, etc. I know Carbon will throw in a ticket to their GTD tourney and probably an increase in affiliate revenue. We're open to ideas.

This is just the exploratory stage right now, so give us your thoughts and we'll hopefully have this promo live by next week. I'm looking for prize ideas, buy-in or no buy-in, and any thing else you feel inclined to suggest.

Great!!! I'm in, no matter what conditions

To prevent randoms joining I think a $10 buy-in would be good (added to the prize pool of course).

I think it'd be awesome if the winner had a choice between something like Dual Monitors, Nice Chair, or $XXX Amazon gift cert. or something.

Choices are good.

$20 - so there are "interested" parties only. Cmon - every one can afford a $20!

I know I got this pool in the bag already considering I am coming off the Football Pool win and a nice cashout with New Orleans in the SuperBowl!

I just want some COMPETITION this time!

Hey Guys & Gals,

I'm excited to be apart of the 2010 NCAA Brackets competition! Let us know your thoughts on prizes and we will do our best in having the best selection. In addition to the prizes, we are going to through in a $109 coupon to our $50K Guarantee that is held every Sunday and increase the winning affiliates commissions to 50% revenue share for 3 months!!! If you have any questions, just drop a post here.

Also a big thanks to Atil and the guys at Carbon for sponsoring this. They are a kick ass program to work with, holler at Atil if you're not promoting them.

We'll obviously make a formal post and announcement when we get all the details worked out. I like the buyin idea too, It will keep the freerollers out. Let's all agree on the $20 buyin with 100% going to the prizepool, I can hold all the money through PP or room transfer.

Good, that's out of the way. After 5 years of never winning a single gambling contest in this community, I like my chances this time around. :deadmoney

Yeah I'll donate some money to "Corp" lol - Seems like w/e we play Corp ends up winning. I'm like a huge donation box when it comes to any type of betting hehe
