It is back again for another month - the Hit Streak Contest, August Edition will open up again on Wednesday, August 1st.
Basic rules- pick a player, if he gets a hit, you are good. If for whatever reason he doesn't get a hit that day, you will get a strike. This time around, we will go with three strikes and you are out, rather than one and done. And there will be no minimum number of games needed to be played to win. Once you have selected a player, you can not choose him again. Your pick must be made prior to the FIRST GAME of the day. Pretty basic stuff.
Twists this time around:
1 - mentioned above - once you get a third strike, you are eliminated rather than one and done.
2 - I am hosting a side contest for those interested. I am participating in the contest and anyone who would like to challenge me is welcome. If you are interested in the challenge, just note it with your first pick. If you beat me, you can pick any card off of my Bench Userpage as a prize (GU's/Autos etc. not included). If I beat you, I get to pick any card off your Bench Userpage. Max Value of $5 card. The side contest is COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY.
Two tried the side contest last month - Anglinomics & mrknicks and both got a little unlucky as the host had his best month to date....
