3rd Annual Almost the Easiest World Series Contest on the Web -Official sign up post

So as I write this I'm about to leave town for a week long work trip.  Most of the playoff teams have been decided but there is still one up for grabs and I wanted to get this posted before I left.  So here we go.  This will be the official contest page, I'll be posting scheduled reminders all week.  Since the playoffs are a little screwed up with the one game wild card playoff I'm going to let you wait till those are done and I'll have the sign up open till  Saturday October 5th at Noon.

The contest is easy as always I just want you to tell me who's going to win the World Series. But since inevitably more than one person will pick the winning team we need a few tie breakers.  So I'd like you to also add who the opponent will be, how many games in the series and how many total home runs for the series, both teams combined.
Your entry should look something like this.
Dodgers over the Red Sox in 6, 14 home runs.

Your choices
American League
Boston Red Sox
Oakland Athletics
Detroit Tigers
Cleveland Indians
Tampa Bay Rays

National League
Atlanta Braves
St. Louis Cardinals
LA Dodgers
Cincinnati Reds
Pittsburgh Pirates

And what do you win????
I already teased with this prize

A sealed 1994 Pinnacle The Naturals boxed set.  You will also get this...

A full set of 1990 Topps Coins and this cool plastic collector's book.

I'll also be throwing in some other stuff as well and there will also be a door prize just for signing up.  I haven't decided what that will be yet, but I'll find something good.  And if you pimp this contest you will receive an extra entry for the door prize.  Just leave you prediction and a link to your pimp for your extra entry.

I would say to wait till at least after tomorrows game that'll decide who if Tampa Bay or Texas makes it, but you can wait till after the wild card games are over  and even a few of the regular playoff games.

Alrighty good luck everybody and I'll see you in a week.

3rd Annual Almost the Easiest World Series Contest on the Web - Teaser

That's right boys and girls. It's almost that time again.  And while I may have been gone all summer long, that doesn't mean I haven't been planning my annual World Series contest.  And I have no idea how many people are still reading blogs out there or better yet reading my blog, but we'll have a go.

Most of the divisions have been decided. A few of the wildcard spots are up for grabs still, but barring any one game playoffs for those spots I'm hoping by Sunday the 29th or before the playoff picture is set.

How will it work?  Same as always. Out of all the teams in the playoffs, I just want you to tell me who's going to win the World Series. Simple as that.  However since inevitably more than one person will pick the winning team, although not always, we have to have some tie breakers.  So I also want to tell me who the losing opponent will be, the number of games in the series and number of home runs hit total, that means by both teams, in the series. But more on that later.

What will you win? Well I have a few things to give away.  But first thing is this...

A sealed 1994 Pinnacle The Naturals box set.  These cards are pretty sweet with Pinnacle Dufex technology.  And all your favorite stars from 1994 are in here.

I ended up picking up one of these for myself, mainly for the Frank Thomas card and I've already sent a bunch of the cards out in trade packages, but I managed to find another one I've been keeping just for this contest.  I also have other things to add to the prize pile, more on that later on the sign up post.  There will also be a door prize again just for signing up and you can get an extra entry into that one for a contest pimp.

So with that said mark your calendar and stay tuned for the official sign up post.
