I've been wanting to reward the BJT members who have been contributing information to our Blackjack Tournament Event Calendar, so here's what I came up with.
So far this year, 79 members have taken the time to add a new event or update an existing event on the calendar. Thanks to all of you! It is your efforts that have made this a great resource.
If you haven't checked out the calendar lately, you may be surprised at how many events are listed. Including all the small weekly events, there are usually close to 1000 tournaments listed every month!
As a way to reward those members who have been regular contributors, I'm giving away some Christmas gifts at Amazon.com:
Each time you add a new tournament to the calendar, that's worth 3 points. Each time you update an existing tournament, that's worth 1 point.
So far in 2005, our top three contributors are:
In addition, I wanted to do something for all the rest. I randomly chose one member of the 76 other members who participated in the calendar posting...
Congrats to richgarcia, who won with just 1 point for updating an existing event in September. richgarcia gets a $25 Amazon gift certificate.
I'll be sending emails to confirm the email address before sending out the prizes. Winners, watch your inbox.
I'll plan on doing something like this next year as well, so get out there and start posting events. We all benefit when the community shares information.
