Sports Challenge Contest Winners!

This final week of the contest was set up to be a doozy when I switched from MLB to WNBA games. The thing was, those weren't the problem. Most scored 5 out of 6 points on those with most getting the Fever game wrong.

It was the NASCAR that took everyone down or up.

Only two contestants got a Top 5 pick right in Dennis and Ketchupman36. However, great use of points by Justin S helped him stay towards the top as well.

There is no doubt when you pick the winner of the race that you are also the winner of this race. So congrats to Ketchupman36 who will be taking home the bacon in the BCW Supplies lot.

Second place, despite Dennis getting his racer right, he didn't bid enough to surpass Justin S good use of points and so Justin S will be the second place winner. Congrats to you.

Third place was held by Dennis who was the only other person to guess a racer right and finishes in the Top 3 despite entering this complete contest late.

Justin S please give me your Top 2 card choices with number 1 being your favorite. Dennis please do the same. You can check out your prize choice on this LINK.

All of three of you please email your addresses to sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com with the subject line, SCC Winner. You will have 72 hours on claim your prize.

Congrats to all of our winners and thanks to everyone who entered. More contests ahead!

Sports Challenge Contest Week 4 Game Picks

NEWBIES CAN NO LONGER ENTER. IF A NEWBIE, PLEASE ENTER OTHER CONTESTS.

YOU MUST ENTER THIS FINAL WEEK IF YOU ARE ALREADY INVOLVED IN THE CONTEST TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A RUNNING AT THE PRIZE!!!!!!!!!! IF YOUR NAME DOESN'T APPEAR THIS WEEK, YOU ARE ELIMINATED.

Here is the fourth and final round of weekends games towards my Sports Challenge Contest.

READ CONTESTANTS!!!!
I must apologize first of all. I shouldn't have updated Saturday's standings before last nights points game. But, due to my error, I had to award those who bid all of their points the points they earned including Saturday's. So that helped some and others kept them in this contest. Up to this point, nobody is out. Not unless you don't enter this week. Even those of you with limited points can even win. When I held past contests like this I saw people with under 10 points pull out victory. So use your points wisely this week as I think this will be a doozy of a week and a grand finale like no other.

In comments, just pick the winners. Please take a second out to put Sat for Saturday games and Sun for Sunday games as I listed them here.

You will earn 1 point for each game right. You will earn 0 points for games wrong.

Have fun and good luck!

YOU HAVE TIL FRIDAY 8PM E.T. TO GET YOUR GAME PICKS IN OR THEY WON'T COUNT.

Boys and girls, good luck this week. I hope you know your WNBA!
(Sat)urday Games:

HERE ARE YOUR POINT TOTALS AS OF NOW: Standings For BCW Lot

YOU WILL ONLY LOSE OR GAIN THE AMOUNT OF POINTS ON THAT LINK. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WNBA GAMES WILL COUNT TOWARDS YOUR FINAL SCORE SO NOBODY SHOULD END UP WITH 0. UNLESS YOU GET THEM ALL WRONG AND BID ALL OF YOUR POINTS TOO.

Bonus Game:
This is one you will bid some of your points on. You know, the ones you have earned up to this point. Get it right, get that amount of points you bid. Get it wrong, well, sorry sunny, you lose em! But, be smart in choosing your point total. You lose em all, you are eliminated from the final week and from this contest. 

Quaker State 400 Presented by Advance Auto Part. I want you to pick a Top 5 finisher and gamble your points :) You must gamble at least 1 point.

In case of a tie for the top three spots, one extra day to earn points will be added just for those in the running. I have seen people win in the past with minimal points before, so make sure you use your points reasonably on the final day.
4. CardS may be shipped PWE. I like to forewarn on this.
5. Sport Card Collectors or it's owner (person who runs the blog), WILL NOT be held responsible for lost, stolen or damaged mail. Sorry had to add this in since someone tried to scam me once about this.
