......Lexi!!!! CONGRATS LEXI!! YOU ARE THE PICK MASTER THIS WEEK!!!!

http://www.natnetpickem.com/standings.php?quiz_id=3

We have not confirmed yet her ability to attend the event this weekend, but as soon as we talk to her we will let everyone know. If she can't attend, we will issue a "consolation" prize and then give the next person in the list a chance to attend.

The game was fun, even though it was a TON tougher to score than I thought it would be...but it was worth it. I am already thinking about future games and some fun we could have involving some industry questions instead of sports questions. Give me some time and I will come up with something cool, never fear :)


Now, for the fine print:

Considering this was the first time anyone has ever done the "prop bet" type questions there were a few things that we had to alter in the contest due to situations that we did not account for.....For purposes of full disclosure I will explain the situation and the resolution to each.....

Question #10: Who will score the fewest combined points?
The combination of Pittsburgh Steelers and Pirates scored 29 points, however so did the combination of the Cleveland Browns and Indians. To that end, either answer will be counted as a correct answer.

Question #26: Which game will have the most points scored?
C: Tulane @ Southern Miss ---> This game was postponed due to Hurricane Katrina and will not be played until the weekend of Thanksgiving. For this reason, we have deleted this question completely from the contest.

Question #27: Who will allow the fewest points?
Both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Atlanta Falcons allowed 17 points in their respective games and were tied for the fewest. To that end, either answer will be counted as a correct answer.

Question #29: Which team will hit the most Home Runs?
Both the Chicago White Sox and the Texas Rangers hit 9 Home Runs during their games this weekend and tied for the top spot. To that end, either answer will be counted as a correct answer.

Question #30: Who will win the Deutsche Bank Championship?
This was simply a mistake on my part. I was unaware that this tournament concluded on Monday, Labor Day, as opposed to Sunday, like most tournaments. Since the contest specifically stated that the contest would end on Sunday to allow the most time for the winner to prepare for a trip to Atlanta this weekend, we have deleted this question completely from the contest.


Congrats, again, Lexi....and be looking for a new contest to come in the coming weeks!!

Congrats on the win, enjoy the trip

Lexi, I meant to ask you this on the phone and forgot....but I just gotta know....how did you go about deciding who to pick? Do you follow sports that closely? Did you guess? Did someone else help you?

I am just curious....there is no cheating this game so it doesn't matter how you came up with the picks...but I gotta know :)

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

That is hilarious on SO many levels :thumbsup


--T

Congrats Lexi

Got lucky it was close for first place.

I have to tell you the truth, I guessed!!!
I don't follow sports at all, lol!

But, I'am going to start :thumbsup

I have a poker friend, who bets on horses and sports...he has been trying to get me to bet, I think...I just might! :1orglaugh

Is the pick-em game on this year? Sorry I havent been paying much attention here lately...

Congrats Lexi! :thumbsup

EDIT: Just read the natnet pick em site and found out the details for this years contest.. :thumbsup

I can't wait to get there!!
Look out Atlanta, here I come! :thumbsup

I *knew* that was going to happen....with this type of questions there is really no telling what the outcome will be. I think this makes it even that much more fun! Anybody can play and win...no matter how much you know about sports!

See, Peaches, I told you....even TondaB came in 2nd place :winkwink:


--T

Wow...hubba hubba....you know, on second thought, remember when I told you that the trip was for two? I lied...it's only for one. Sorry. Looks like you will have to leave the boyfriend behind. :winkwink:

Just kidding....but if you *want* to leave him behind.... :Graucho

I look forward to meeting both of you guys this weekend!!!


--T

Tony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SweetT,

I figured there would be no problem useing your logo's ;) ..

I almost put the Falcons logo on it, but decided against it....

uh huh.. like thats gonna happen.. :1orglaugh

Right off the bat I'll just write to congratulate Lexi! I really do hope you have a great trip and have a blast!!

Finishing second isn't the coolest thing and definately not on a technicality :) So I hope you understand if I'm somewhat disappointed right now. Actually Keyser Soze gave me a sms and told me that with the golf result I had won. 30 minutes later... he told the question was pulled.. talk about being disappointed.. living in denmark it's not that often you have a good chance attending a Monday night game.

Anyway that wont stop me for congratulating Lexi, but it wont stop me from putting my head in the oven whilst holding a grenade between my teeth and hanging myself at the same time... :) mr. technicality... and btw. I do understand natnet's reasons... I'm not blaming them.. just venting and crying :)

and for the last time:

Congrats Lexi... enjoy!!!!! :D

HAHAHAHA!!! I was kidding, dude. I am really looking forward to meeting you both.

On another note, I have sent Lexi two emails and have gotten the dreaded "DELAYED" emails. Can you email me at tony(DOT)morgan(AT)natnet(DOT)com from an email address that I can send this information to.

Thanks, Mike!!


--T

Email Sent...

I got 11 right. Not bad for a non sports fan lol

Thanks for your understanding....but anyone that knows me knows that I cannot handle just being "technically" right...I want to be "perfectly" right.

To that end, just send me an email (my address is in my post above this one) including three Atlanta Falcons Home Games that you would like to see and we will pick one and pay for your trip to town and you can join us in the NatNet Luxury Sky Box for the game. This one game is packed so it can't be this one, but we will work it out with another one.

How's that sound?


--T

Wow! This is really really surprising. I'm completely stunned right now... I can't really find the words... except for a really really huge thank you, this is incredible! It's 1:13am here... I'm never gonna sleep now. Thank you very very much. I'll send an email your way right now. Thnx! :) :) :)

Not sure, if my emails still messing up?
