Tournament information (for your reading and memorizing pleasure):
This tournament will consist of a series of "Who Am I?" contests where members receive one point for correctly guessing a player's name from a baseball card scan that I have altered (three card images/points available per contest!). The member with the most points at the end of the tournament will win the box of 2009 Upper Deck SP Legendary Cuts Baseball, thanks to the generosity of SCF sponsor Atlanta Sports Cards (www.atlsportscards.com). We will continuously run tournament contests (subject to my work schedule) throughout the remainder of the MLB regular season (which ends October 4).
Each contest will feature 3 different baseball cards but I've eliminated/altered/obscured some vital picture information. For each image, all you have to do is be the first member to correctly post the pictured person's first & last name (no card brand/year/etc. needed). Spelling counts--misspelled first and/or last names will be counted as incorrect. Get one player right and you get one point. Get two players right and you earn two points. Or go for the trifecta and get three points for three correct answers! The degree of difficulty will vary from image to image. Images may feature any type of baseball card (base/insert/GU/auto/vintage/other) and may even be from oddball products.
Each contest will end when each of the three player's names are guessed and then another "Who Am I? " contest will begin (again depending on my work schedule), giving members more chances to earn points (similar to SCF's Guess the Final Price continuous contests). Another "Who Am I" contest may be started at my discretion if a previous "Who Am I" contest has not ended due to a player name not yet guessed correctly. I will try to post these contests at different times of day (recognizing that members are on SCF at all different times of day). Standings will be posted after each contest--similar to SCF's "Guess the Score" contests.
Contest rules:
1. Post your three guesses like this (preferably with real MLB names):
Card #1 - Homer Walker (or simply omit the name if you do not wish to make a guess)
Card #2 - Otto Graf
Card #3 - Hap E. Face
At least 24 hours must pass before you can post another set of three guesses. SCF time stamps above each post will be used to track this. Posts that violate this rule will be void and deleted. Keep in mind that the card subject sometimes may not necessarily be a player. If you do not wish to make a guess for a particular card, you may omit a guess. But you must still wait at least 24 hours before posting another set of guesses. This means you may not post a guess for one card and then post a guess for another card in less than 24 hours.
2. As players are guessed correctly, I will post which players have been guessed correctly as time permits. I will also mark on the card image itself when the player has been guessed so check back often on the card images in the initial post.
3. If no one has posted the correct answer after 48 hours have passed for any card image, I will post the card image again but with some additional image information revealed. This will be repeated until someone has posted the correct answer. (I doubt this will be necessary--SCF has lots of sharp members who know their cards well, lol).
4. Guesses may not be edited. Doing so risks forfeiture of all tournament points and/or disqualification.
5. Rude/disrespectful/flaming posts (even slightly) will not be tolerated. Let's make this fun! If you have an issue with someone/something concerning this contest, please PM me.
6. At the end of the tournament, if there is a tie, there will be one tiebreaker "Baseball - Who Am I?" contest. If there is still a tie at the conclusion of the tiebreaker contest, another tiebreaker contest will be held. This will continue until the tie is broken.
Thanks again to SCF sponsor Atlanta Sports Cards (www.atlsportscards.com) for providing a great prize for this tournament. I hope that covers all the bases (no pun intended).
One more thing...this tournament will officially launch sometime Aug. 16 (Sunday)!!


EDIT: The tournament has launched! See Who Am I? Tournament - Contest #1.
