Re: The CBW predictions list for 2003-04

[Snoopy the Celtics Beagle <snoopy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First of all, even though there's no prize for getting it right, I think it 
would probably not look good for anyone officially associated with the C's 
to participate.  That said, I'm sure someone will raise the notion of 
someone posting under a nom de plume.  For the record, NO ONE associated 
with the Celtics has sent me a prediction and asked me to post it under 
another name.

Second, I think giving away tickets, or any real prize,  to the winner(s) 
--especially after the season started and the predictions are in--would be 
unfair.  Some people might have changed their prediction, or others who 
didn't send one in might want to--or even some who did might NOT want 
to.  It gets a little hairy ensuring fairness in such a situation.

In any case the whole point of the predictions is to have fun.  Some of the 
people like to predict how many games the Celtics WILL win.  Others, like 
myself, like to predict how many games we'd LIKE them to win.  It's all in 
good (mostly) clean fun.

I thought about awarding a chocolate chip cookie to the winner, but with my 
luck, the winner would end up diabetic, or on a diet, or have a grudge 
against Mrs. Fields.  Besides, it's really, really hard for me to buy a 
chocolate chip cookie and NOT eat it.  :>))))
