Most Valuable Poster Drawing:
Entries into the drawing are granted for:Top 20 posters by number of posts (measuring effort)Top 20 by thread views generated (measuring popularity)Posts that are designated as "gold star" - measuring quality
On the night of the NCAA BB Championship the next random drawing will be held with $2000 cash given to the winner! (the last drawing resulted in a carry-over). The more entries you have, the better chance you have of winning.
Our great moderators (Goodfella, Joe Straguzzi, Dan BeBe, Mike Hook) will be recognizing gold star posts along with a number of Pregame.com staff.Here are the qualities we are especially looking for in posts:
* Analysis with picks* Replies which help along the conversation by asking a question, or point out another angle to consider* More than just "good luck" when responding to other's picks, but rather constructive insight into why you like or don't like the picks* Re-occurring threads that cover a certain subject - like a weather report thread for baseball, or a bullpen fatigue report, or SportsbookSpy.com analysis of the betting percentages, any information that will help others handicap.* Any projects which require collaboration between posters - we are much sharper when working together* Replies pointing out the highest quality posts from others. If you read something you think is very helpful, draw attention to it by explaining why it is special, and say thanks by replying.
Remember, all you have to do to nominate a post is simply SEND AN EMAIL to forums@pregame.com whenever you see a post you believe deserves a star.
This thread will list all Gold Star posts to recognize top contributors, and point out high quality posts you may have missed . . .
