April 2005 Contest

April 2005 Contest

The Yakyu Shop is sponsoring a variety of contests during the 2005 season to make the 2005 Pro Yakyu Pennant Race a a little more exciting for us all.

The Contest: This month's contest is to guess who the first place team at the end of play on April 30 will be. Should more than one person guess the correct team, then a guess of how many games in first the team will be will break the tie. These two items are still a little restrictive, so if multiple people guess these two correctly, a third guess for runs scored will be the decider. In all cases, a guess too high will be considered closer than a guess too low. For example, a guess of 2 games in first will beat a guess of 1 game in first if the team ends 1.5 games in first.

Participation: One must be signed in to participate. Only one guess per 24 hours is permitted. While it is technically possible to create more than one account and make multiple guesses, anyone caught doing so will be disqualified. I'm sure this won't be a problem with this group of fans. Cut off for entries will be 12:00 AM on April 25 JST.

The Prizes: The person with the winning or closest guess will recieve either the cap of a team of his/her choice (based on availability) or a US$30.00 voucher to a different purchase from the Yakyu Shop. Two prizes will be awarded, one for each league.

Privacy: Identifying information of the winners only will be passed on to the Yakyu Shop for the purpose of awarding the prizes. This will include the registered e-mail addresses of the winning participants only. No personal information will be passed on to the Yakyu Shop or any other party from any other participants.

Must be logged in.
