I been tossing the idea around for awhile and just wondering if there is interest if I ran a contest for charity should say it will be a legit contest. I am thinking $5 donation to enter the contest and can gift entries if you donate more money. I am still thinking of what the type of contest will be team or individual, if team how will it be I still have regrets never hosting the usa vs world or east coast vs west coast vs rest of world. so just let me know if there is interest and the 50-50 might become into a contest.
also what charity should the money go to? right now I was thinking doctors without border, st jude's, or looking up another good charity
-
North America vs World would be sweet and very competitive I would think.
I'd donate. I'd donate even more if we could donate to avoid <pacman> games or something

No interest in a contest whatsoever.
Nope.
None.
-
how does those sound as the teams cause I did a scoring system test and Murica was far in the lead with just two games played. the only two things confirmed so far are $5 to enter and the charity is doctors without borders
-
Yay!
Finally, the possibility of a new Wolf tournie! 8)
A tournament where serial cheaters and compulsive liars aren't ever welcome.
How refreshing.
-
what are people's opinion on having the contest be for example you play the first week of april, off 2nd week, play 3rd week of april, off 4th, and play last week of april?
-
Please implement the Midwest Draft sir.

Yeah specific locations in the US might be a bit tricky. Maybe US vs World instead? They're getting Pro, TRB, etc, just at a quick glance of previous tourneys it seems reasonable. If you need to handicap it, maybe players can only submit x number of games or something.

It can be tough doing off-on-off-on unless there are different games for each "on" session. Since you'd have time where people shouldn't be making runs in between time when they're allowed to, it would be a challenge to make sure that runs were not done on the off time.
So, maybe new games for each "on" session, and maybe don't announce them until it's "on" again.
Also, if you require INPs then forget everything I said since they carry time stamps. Good contribution, Ben. Weeeee!

Also - East Coast 4 Lyfe
East Coast v. West Coast v. World sounds sweet but yeah anyone in the heartland would have to pick a side.
or maybe
Team <Billy> v. Team <Wiebe> v. Team <snek>
-
That's why the Midwest Draft makes sense. Coasts can select Midwest players.

I'm guessing anyone living between the Ohio River and the Colorado River would be "Midwest" but I have no idea. I just know you being from Ohio would identify as Midwest and me next door in WV would certainly identify as East Coast.

Actually I'm from Illinois. I mentioned to wolf that it could be like Hockey Conferences. Chicago is actually in the Western Conference, for example, Detroit was West, but were shifted to East a few years ago. Yes, some kind of line can be drawn.

D'oh my bad. Not sure where I got that idea.
Yer I support a Midwest draft or even wolfie drawing a line to split the country East/West. Either way. Drafts are always exciting, though. Better get Jivey in here to do the live stream commentary...
-
yeah each on week was going to have 3 different games
-
how about the coasts being
East-Florida,Georgia,South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, West Virginia, and Maine
West-California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska. Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Alaska, Hawaii
and the rest of the states get drafted-Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio
-
If Nevada is West Coast, then West Virginia is East Coast like Pennsylvania.
Don't <snek> me on this, Wolfie...
EDIT: <snek> removed - thanks duuuuude
-
Seeing as how the West team contains 2 extra states as well as all Top 10 largest states in the US. I propose the East team gets first selection the draft.
-
the scoring system I might go with will be something like this
top 5 or 7 per game-Like yolo and igby
bonus points
first team to have all players submit for the game-1 point
and to make it that everyone feels like they are putting into the contest and not left out the remaining on a team will be put into a group of 5 and their scores will be avg and compared to the other teams' group of 5
example
east coast 8-12, west coast 8-12, and world's 8-12 avg score will be compared and top avg get's one point for their team, and this goes for the remaining players until it reaches the point that there are no 3 groups to compare.

Actually I'm from Illinois.
This brings up a good question: Where you're from, where you live now, or choose your state based on whatever you identify with most? Doesn't make a difference in my case unless I get to choose.... and I choose Canada.
-
obviously where you live now
-
Was born and always lived in Illinois. Don't know where Ben got Ohio.
-
Living on the West Coast right now so will take that team I guess Kappa
