0 Subject: GuruPatron prize for baseball

As those of you who read yesterday's blurb already know, I'm conducting a GuruPatron campaign over the last two weeks of April.

As a means to thank those who have already generously provided financial support for this site, and as an incentive to get more of you to become GuruPatrons, I have decided to offer prizes to the top ten GuruPatron finishers in the Gurupie standings for the TSN Ultimate Baseball game.

At the end of the season, the top ten listed teams who are managed by GuruPatrons will be eligible to receive an item of RotoGuru merchandise, or any alternative prize that is available at that time. If anyone would like to donate a prize for this purpose (for example, an item of baseball memorabilia), please send me an email (davehall@rotoguru2.com). If I accept your prize donation, I'll also give you GuruPatron credit for it.

To clarify, I will award ten prizes. If some of the top ten finishers are not GuruPatrons, then I'll just keep going down the list until I get ten GuruPatrons. Any level of giving - Donor, Sustainer, or Leader - is sufficient.

To be eligible for these prizes, you must become a GuruPatron by May 1, 2002. Those who have already donated are automatically qualified. For those of you who have not yet contributed, follow the link at the top of any forum page for information about how you can join the others who have already shown their generous support. PayPay contributions must be sent by May 1, or snail mail donations must be postmarked by that date.

Looks like you did make the cut, deepsnapper, though not for the reason you cited.

I compared my GuruPatron list with the final Gurupie standings. It looks like the following 10 Gurupies win the GuruPatron prizes:

smallwhirled
jumpball
Slackjawed Yokel
darkside
J
Dave R
blockaa
johnglad
Peter N.
deepsnapper

There were five top-ten finishers who I do not have listed as GuruPatrons. Please correct me if I'm wrong:
rockfish, beastiemiked, DMAN, Ref, and Caper.

I'll give this a day or so to uncover any errors or omissions. After that, I'll be in touch with the winners.

Guru - here's an updated e-mail for me. I was disappointed about missing the big money from TSN (top 10), but this is even better.

Thanks! - and I've got attribute a good part of my success to the sartibles.

I concede,no paypal,no AIM,and for the life of me forgetfulness in snail mail. I'm not worthy of any gurupie anything. Seems the AIM gurupies have another forum anyways. I just love baseball.

Thanks for the stats Dave. J and KKB you guys rock.

Guru - I know you've had problems sending email to the "deepsnapper@directvinternet.com" email address.

An alternate addy is: deepsnapper72@aol.com

Guru - I didn't receive an e-mail from you. Did you try the e-mail I listed above? If that's not working, you can try beezle_bubba@yahoo.com.
