Famous Three Strike Contest for July 2014 ...but it is up to thebench to keep it going. The contest gets really boring with less then twelve minimum. Please tell all you know to play!,

The first game is up on Yahoo, I assume you guys know how to find the match ups, so pick away. Live now on Monday July 27, 2014

How to Play: ,,,,
You pick games, as far in advance as you want, before the game starts using Famous Three Strike Contest for July 2014 ...but it is up to thebench to keep it going. The contest gets really boring with less then twelve minimum. Please tell all you know to play!,

The first game is up on Yahoo, I assume you guys know how to find the match ups, so pick away. Live now on Friday June 27, 2014

How to Play: ,,,,
You pick games, as far in advance as you want, before the game starts using http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/scoreboa...14-07-01&conf= and have the following games selected before the current game, starts. click on the calendar for the next game

The kicker is...you can only pick the winning team once...ie if you pick the Yankees to win on June 1 and they win...you can't use the Yankees again for the rest of Tournament. However, you can pick a team as long as they keep losing...up until you have three strikes. This rule for game one, is excluded and you'll be able to pjck the Padres again!

I am not going to be a baby sitter...this is a DAILY GAME once it starts...miss a game for what ever reason...YOU GET A STRIKE. Not being near your computer isn't an excuse...you can go to libraries, Radio Shack, hotel lobbies, etc.

[bold]I have found that it is a lot easier if you edit your picks in the same post...less post, easier to follow...Honesty is appreciated...all edits times must before the current game is played. [/bold]

PRIZES
Players that survive the first seven games without striking out, will receive a card that total at least $7.
Players that survive the until the 12th game without striking out, will receive an additional card that the total of both cards is at least $15.

Overall winner, will receive up to $40 in cards.


If you're a winner it's up to you to lmk. i.e. only Stanley actually told me he won the July contest..no one told me they made thru 7 games (Or, if they did...have been too busy chasing the one-year-old Granddaughter around the house, that I didn't notice. She Who Must Be Obeyed keeps saying there are priority

Once we get down to about four players, Each player will email me there picks. When we are down to two players, I will have them pick all the games of the day, until we have a clear winner.

ANY QUESTIONS please ask...please just edit each day.
Still waiting for those trade offers for the Padres autos you have!

Tell Your friends and lets make this the best contest this year!!
