Good luck fellas, Richard is a tough competitor to beat and Stockpicker as well as Ryangene always put forth great effort, it should be a lot of fun to see who this year's winner pans out to be.

Richard, you should change your Signature to reflect that as Cappers Lounge 2007 NFL Contest Champ.

Bartender,

KKOZ9 has only 4 lifetime posts since joining the Lounge, which according to contest rules, would make him/her disqualified to place in the top 3 for the free play payouts. Also, MAC316 joined the Lounge on Aug. 8, 2008, five days after the contest began, which would also make him/her disqualified for the contest with no posts at all. I just want to bring light to this now in the hope of having less confusion at the end of the contest. Best of luck to all members who are qualified!

Re: Capper's Lounge $500 NFL Preseason 2008 Contest!

No need to fret, I'm only in it for fun I guess...didn't see the 10 post rule til our resident watchdog pointed it out above, even even though I've been a member for a year and participated in numerous buy-in poker tourneys. Surely he performed due diligence and thoroughly checked everyone out for eligibility, not just the records better than him, so all should be in order as admin posted above. No worries, makin my money already as evident by the record. May the best capper........not win. lol.

Since you didn't do your own due diligence regarding the contest rules, you have no choice but to be in it for fun, right? It's not my fault you waited a year before you finally decided to start making posts in the forum. Rules are rules. Even though we're competing for free play money, only those members that abide by the contest rules have a right to place in the money. The admin will determine the final results for any members that place in the money but have a different Lounge username compared to their Wagerline username at the end of the contest. If you have a problem with following rules, take it up with admin. BARK! BARK! BARK!

What was that? MEOW! MEOW! MEOW!?

Rules need to be followed? Wow, I really see this in a whole new light...you've really turned me around on this.

I know it's my own fault I didn't see the post rule. I don't blame you for anything other than being a sanctimonius sycophant.

Good day sir.

Re: Capper's Lounge $500 NFL Preseason 2008 Contest!

Guys- take a chill pill. The fact of the matter is, far too many people sign up at this forum simply to participate in contests and play poker and do not offer any solid contributions whatsoever to this forum. A couple of bad apples have ruined it for the others and now the rules are clearly posted. If you have an account here, there is no reason why anyone cannot contribute 15-20 posts.

Well said Stock. It appears KKoz is actually making an effort of late to contribute. Hopefully that continues and he becomes a regular contributor and then he'll be eliigible for prizes for the next contest.

Good day sir.
MEOW! MEOW! MEOW!? LOL Good one. You crack me up. Let me be the first to congratulate you on seeing the light! You can personally attack me and call me names all you like. Means nothing to me. You know absolutely nothing about me. You're just a username on my computer screen. Nothing more.
If you have a problem with me standing up for those of us members that earned the right to participate in the contest, that's tough. I'm not going anywhere. I've been fortunate to receive my fair share of contest winnings already. It doesn't matter to me if I place in the money for this particular contest. My concern is for those members that do deserve to win the free play money. And you're not one of them. There will be other contests at this forum and other forums. Yes, you have 11,000+ points. Congratulations. You can pat yourself on the back to your heart's content. If you should finish the contest with the most accumulated points, good for you. You'll be the first sore "winner" in the history of this forum. I feel sorry for you.
A sanctimonious syophant? Gee, I don't know. It just doesn't have any pop to it. Maybe you could be a little more creative next time.

Peace be with you.

Yes, I see it kkoz9. Thank you. I enjoyed having a friendly debate with you. Actually, I'm not into lectures. I'm a pretty quiet guy most of the time. Redundant? Probably. But never trifling.
