0 Subject: GuruPatron Opportunities

Posted by: Guru
- [330592710] Thu, Feb 27, 2003, 11:37

As a way to reward those who have financially supported this site, and as an inducement to get more to contribute, I am offering the following opportunities for baseball in 2003:

First, I have set up a GuruPatron division in TSN baseball. Any GuruPatron may enter one team in this division. For those who are looking for a competitive division, this is the place. An email was just sent out to all GuruPatrons with the name and password of this division. (A number of the email addresses I have on file are probably obsolete, so if you did not receive the email and would like to join, please email me and I'll provide the info.) New GuruPatrons will also be invited, assuming you contribute prior to opening day.

Second, similar to the current Hoops season, I will offer a GuruPatron prize to any traditional baseball league with Roto scoring or HTH scoring, subject to the following guidelines:
  1. The league must have at least 8 members.
  2. More than half of the league's members must be GuruPatrons no later than 4/30/03.
  3. The league commissioner must be a GuruPatron.
  4. The league must have at least a minimal presence at the forum, This could include things like
    • manager recruitment
    • draft (analysis or the actual draft)
    • ongoing strategy discussions
    • trade analysis and/or review
  5. The league must post a notification at the beginning of the season (or prior to 5/1/03) that it meets the conditions for prize eligibility.
Subject to these general guidelines, I will award a RotoGuru merchandise prize to the winner of the league if and only if the winner was a GuruPatron prior to 5/1/03. There will be no roll-down. If the winner is not a GuruPatron, then no prize will be awarded for that league.


Thanks to all GuruPatrons who have made the continuation of this site financially viable.

Guru:

If you're interested, TSN will throw in a prize of some sort -- maybe a Strat-O-Matic game credit? -- to the winner of your division (in addition to the cash prize). Let me know if we can help.

Ok. That's it. Winner gets S-O-M credit, 2nd place will get h2h S-O-M credit. Guru, please remember to bug me at the end of the season, as I tend to forget about these things.

Guru:

We have established a 5x5 roto keeperleague in Yahoo. It's called GuruKeepers and we're conducting our draft in the Baseball standings Forum as we speak.

Nine of our 11 members are patrons and Lazio would be if he lived in the U.S. Most of us are regular contributors to the discussion and strategy boards.

I am the commish. We have also decided that each of us will provide a donation to the site, simply because we think it's the appropriate thing to do.

Hope this is enough to qualify for the merchandise at season's end.

Stuck - Sounds good to me! Thanks.

ksoze - I don't recall getting your email. Send it again. (If I did get it and already responded, just chalk it up to another senior moment.)

And as a GuruPatron, you are in on many more of those Senior Moments than non-Patrons. Another value-added feature!

Our league(s) also qualifies:

We are playing with the same 20 players and the same initial draft in Yahoo (H2H) and CBS (ytd roto).

rfs and myself our commishs for our 20 team league.

Yahoo: Gurupie Hardball 20 (League ID# 32826)
CBS: Gurupie Baseball 20 (shortcut is Guru20)
Teams:
1 allhair allstars
1 APerfect10
1 azdbacker
1 Baldwin's Berserkers
1 beastiemiked
1 Code Cracker
1 coldwater coyotes
1 Louky
Mo Vaughn's Breakfast Buffet (Perm Dude)
1 Nerveclinic
1 Peter N
1 Pork Chops & Apple Sauce (Tosh)
1 Promize
1 Ref
1 rockafellerskank
1 Slackjawed Yokel
1 The Roguish Rogues
1 Toral
1 Twarpy
1 who is ksoze


Since it is made up of the same 20 players, if only one league counts, we will use the CBS site for prize purposes.

Btw, thanks again Guru for allowing us to use your logo on the game site and for trophies! The football plaque looks great on my wall (just because my wife doesn't think so and it's been banished to my office doesn't mean anything!)
