Ok, this is hockey, TSN could care less about us.
How long do you think before the first person gets their money and T-Shirt?
My guess:
August 4, 2003. |

All I get is a division thing. I hope that counts. bad sign: TSN general service and hired minion responses on the MB have been declining recently.
I think they'll step it up. But August is way optimistic.
September 17.
Oh, 2003.

Would I be crazy or insane to think June is a possibility!? I know for hoops last year I recieved my prize in under two months, so maybe I'm being overly optimistic as there have certainly been problems in the more recent past regarding prizes. So I'll take a wild guess and say by my birthday, July 24th!

Considering I still haven't received my division prize for 2002 Ultimate Baseball I'd say 2004 is a real possibility. What a joke.

Ukula, e-mail Erik, I doubt he'd ignore you. Larry seems more corporate (and busy) but Erik usually has time to fiddle with these things.
My guess? September 18th, 2003. If it hasn't come by the 17th (and Toral's guess is wrong) I win be default. :)

Errr. No. We've improved our prize process dramatically. We should be contacting people in the coming weeks, then have 6-8 weeks turnaround on cash delivery.

I emailed Erik a few times and still haven't recieved my $50 division prize for 2002 Ultimate Baseball. This is crazy.
Now I received an email stating that I won a hockey division although I actually won three of them. Am I going to get a form for each division? It also says I'm going to get another form for the t-shirt, so that will be six forms altogether? I think that is a little ridiculous. My guess for the hockey prizes are the beginning of 2004.

If you read what it states, you will be getting an email for each division you won. I had to sign and fax two things today. Everyone should be recieving there information soon if you are eligible for a price.
6-10's from now, I hope I will have 75 US, so like 1000 CDN!

"If you won multiple divisions, please fill out a form for each team."
That tells me, one email. If you won more than one, you just send the thing twice.

I've received and email with this subject : TSN Ultimate Hockey Prize Notification-51st-100th Place Winner
There is something I don't understand is that when I check my final ranking in TSN it shows me 119 finish, it's asking me to fill in a word form and fax it to (775) 261-2495 within 15 days.... I'm not sure what to do... Here is a cut and past of the email.... Can someone tell me if I should fill in the form and fax it to them...

Received the T-shirts on Monday.
I couldn't believe all of the paperwork that was needed to be completed to claim a prize. I have won some prizes from other contests and usually the first I know about it is when the prize arrives at my door. These were in Canada, so I don't know if the documentation requirements are from TSN or if it is a US requirement.

OK . . have sent e.mail to Larry at member services. I wasn't too concerned because in baseball I think it was after the World Series before I got my notification.
Got a prize in TSN Canada's "Hockey Challenge" game. Maybe you can help me with the Skill testing question:
6 x 3 + 2 - 3 = Duh!
I wonder if anyone has ever lost a prize by not being able to answer the question?

3 forms (2 for div, 1 for Top100)
If you're going to Kinko's or something to fax it, just ask one of them to sign it. Otherwise, just use your imaginary friend ;)
