New Trade contest Sign-ups

[cardjim]

Starting the summer Trade Contest. This one is for members only. Moderators are not allowed. If not enough members sign up then moderators will be allowed with a 5 trade handicap. Below are the rules same as always, suggestions are always welcome. It takes a while to fill the brackets, so let's start filling the brackets now. Just post in this thread and I'll update regularly. LET THE GAMES BEGIN.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Freaks! Here is the third TRADE OFF contest, bracket style!

The point of the contest is to try to beat out your opponent in the amount of trades you make in the given time frame. If you make more trades than your opponent, you move on to the next round, and it will only get tougher and tougher as the top traders are the only ones left!

It will be a 45 member contest, bracket style like the NCAA Basketball bracket. The first 45 members to enter will be the ones to be in the contest. If there are not enough sign-ups, then we will have a smaller bracket.

The trades will be tracked via the TRADE MANAGER ONLY. All trades must be put into the trade manager and confirmed by BOTH parties (even if the other member is not in the contest).

Any member except MUST SEND FIRST's may enter this contest. Must send first members are allowed in only by approval of the staff.

At any time during the contest, any staff member reserves the right to disqualify any member from the contest for any reason (i.e. cheating the system).

Please note, only certain trades/sales can count. All trades must have over a $5.00 BV on BOTH sides. On a sale, it must be over a $5.00 sale.

The total trade count will be unique trades. So if I trade with the same trader 3 times, only 1 trade counts toward your contest total (this is per round). In case of a tie, whoever has the higher book value in a single trade during that round will move on. Basically, if you and your trade partner had a trade with the combined book value of 200 dollars, and your opponent had a trade with a combined book value of 220 dollars, you would lose. So please be specific when your posting your trade in the trade manager. This tiebreaker rule only applies to TRADES, buying and selling will not count.

It is recommended that both traders send with a Delivery Confirmation, or at the very least save the Postal receipts. This is so that if any trade becomes disputed, there can be access to proof to keep the validity of the contest.

We would like to start this as soon as possible, so go ahead and start your sign-ups and let's get the fun started.

[Bryan_Mc]

is this one for members only?

[cardjim]

That's OK by me if everyone agrees. I was actually thinking of handicapping the mods. I'm up for anything.

[Hands]

Yeah handicapping the mods sounds good to me!

Except yours truly of course lol

Maybe something like giving their opponents 5 trades headstart?
