Also big congrats to BTW for landing this plum assignment.

WTF, this isn't even on their website yet? When does this start, i am going to try if Youbet allows me to, they have some crazy bs rules when it comes to these contests and Illinois

The ad says qualifying rounds are April 14th and 21st.

Finals April 28th.

This is the first ad I've seen and yes nothing on the website yet. I think its just being rolled out.

I'll get my darts ready.. they've never let me down before.

I thought the contest was April 7th and April 14th.

Your joking right? just trying to let people get over confident thinking you're not even paying attention.

The DRF ad says 14th and 21st.

PG1985 is the one making him really nervous.

blackthroatedwind · #9 03-30-2007, 10:12 PM

Nervous? No. Resigned? Yes.

Look, the chances that I can finish in the top five either day are pretty slim. It's all in good fun.

To be honest, the hardest thing for me will be that some of the races are at Keeneland, and unless they're on the grass I have no idea what to do. But, I guess everybody else is probably pretty much in the same boat.

I was told it was the 7th and 14th, but one way or another there is confusion, but it doesn't really matter. My only problem is that I may be out of town the week of the 21st...but I'll be playing wherever I am.

There's basically nobody here that can't " beat " me on any given day and that's the beauty of the contest. I hope everybody plays....and I hope as many people as possible do well.

One of the many great things about this game is that every day is an opportunity for all of us to be geniuses.

I don't believe I will be able to play b/c I can only watch races and not bet through the system b/c I live in Jerseystan.

Yeah, isn't it a real money tournament, so I guess you have to be able to bet through Youbet. That's too bad.

Well, feel free to post what your picks would have been. I think it is a few mandatory races from three tracks and then you pick a few that you want from those same tracks.
