Congrats to the winners and those that participated. I'm looking forward to partaking in this contest next year in the event that it is held again.

[NY Sports Teams]

tk10775 - Thank you and thanks for your yeoman's work for compiling the stats. I'm still in April with mine as there has been a lot going on.

ttmtrader101 - I believe forth place is 2,000cc. http://www.sportscardforum.com/threa...mond-Challenge

BigBaller2 - BOL next year but you will have one less competitor because it is too long of a season.


I've received two request for cards out of the six people I listed who are eligible. As I said I'll get the requested cards shipped out as soon as we receive our prizes for this contest. If anyone else would like their free card please get me the card info along with your addy through a PM. Again, thanks to all who stuck it out to the bitter end which made me do the same. It was a long season. Here is a link to my photobucket. My trade cards are listed at the bottom of my Sub-albums as "Trade - (Type of Card)".

if this happens next year, i would make a category for relievers and maybe tweak the rules a bit

How would you score a category for relievers? I'm thinking the only thing you could guess is who might get a save. That's a tough one and really a crap shoot. I would have at least 10 or 15 points given for a streak of 20 games for a hit streak especially not being able to pick the same player during a streak. The highest I got this year at MLB's BeatTheStreak was 24 games and you are able to pick the same player over and over. I would think it's almost impossible to pick a different pitcher and reach the 10 game streak. I think there are only about 10 pitchers who can even get 10 K's. I got up as high as a 7 or 8 game steak with stolen bases but that is another toughie. HR's are another crap shoot. The only one out the four categories that is realistic is the hitting streak but over a 10 game streak having to pick a different player is tough. I'll be watching from the sideline next year but I'll have to chime in a couple of times offering encouragement.

you can do saves or holds. saves would be a better option. from looking at things in the other categories if someone got 5 in a row in the k's, hr's, sb's. or if we do a saves category that should be a 1 or 2 point bonus because noone hit a 5 game streak in them categories but i do like the suggestion of extra points if hitting streak hits 20 games or so. ill have to talk to the moderators and see what they say

[ttmtrader101]

When do I get the 2000 CC?

[tk10775]

thats a good question, i will try and find out something for you

[pwaldo]

When do I get the 2000 CC?

You are probably going to have to contact a moderator that is suppose to be working the baseball forum side....if you don't get a response then contact somebody higher up. I'm guessing nobody even knows about the contest seeing as how the moderator who ran the contest is now retired.
