Ok Gentlemen, I know not all of you are Pick Em players but I figured I'd make a general announcement in a shameless effort to recruit more players for next years game.
So. Ninety fights down and we've reached the final evening of the 2019 NSB Pick Em competition, and I can only hope you've all enjoyed the game this year as much as I and the rest of the team have. It's genuinely been a pleasure.
Now, ever since we took the game over from BroBob - nearly 2 years ago now - it's been my intention to approach the site about the possibility of offering some support in the form of prizes, whether it was just User points, or perhaps vouchers or merchandise... IDK.. honestly I wasn't particularly hopeful but figured it had to be worth a try.
Anyways I finally got round to PMing Big Poppa on Christmas Eve, possibly after a drink or two, asking if the 'Scene could come up with something - their choice - if nothing else to drum up more interest for next season.
Anyways.. I thought maybe some crap merchandise or something, maybe a points drop... last thing I was expecting was a simple, laconic PM back about 2 minutes later in the form of a list:
1st PRIZE $300
2nd PRIZE $150
3rd PRIZE $50
(payable by paypal)
I figured it was as well to keep in under my hat til after the Christmas festivities had passed and save it for tonight when hopefully we should get maximum exposure.
So. There we go gentlemen... $500 courtesy of the 'Scene and way more than I'd even imagined. I know this years' competition is all but decided already but we'll make a formal announcement and Prizegiving once the scores from tonights fights are totted up.
And Damn, hope you'll all join me in thanking BIGPOPPAPUMP and the 'Scene for this great - and to me totally unexpected - show of support.
Thankyou gentlemen, and here's to an even bigger and better 2020
Regards and best wishes to you all
