Re: 2002 Champion Weight Contest
Hey Brett,
I think there is a good deal of interest in a world champ
contest. I hosted a weigh-off pool last year and collected
about 25 prizes in 5 pools which were won by the five closest
guesses. I did not require that all entries throw a prize into
the pool and ended up with about 50 entries.
If this was to be done with a cash buy-in, I suggest a five or
ten dollar buy-in, winner take all. Then the pot would be more
interesting. Also with a buy-in required, multiple entries
could be allowed.
Just some thoughts....
