OK .. just a little more than 24 hours left to get into this giveaway. (I may reconsider the method of choosing, but it will be fair and random!) Best of luck! |

The winner will be selected based on the NBA basketball games of Dec. 17.
The last two digits in a team's final score will determine the winner. We will start with Team 1. If the team produces a two-digit number that matches an entry number, we have a winner. For example, if the Dallas Mavericks (my No. 1 team based on the fact that its owner, Mark Cuban, is a stamp collector scores 103 points .. then the 03 entry is the winner. If the Mavs score 137 points, we move on to to Team No. 2 ... and so on, until we come up with a winner.
Twenty teams are playing .. .I am sure we will come up with a winning entry from those; if not, we will move on to the Thursday schedule. (If, for some reason, there is a flood of late entries (more than 30 altogether, let's say), I will have to choose a different method to find a winning entry.)
The teams will be in this order: Dallas Cleveland Brooklyn Boston San Antonio Phoenix Miami Toronto Atlanta Charlotte Utah Milwaukee LA Clippers Memphis Houston Denver Portland Indiana Orlando Detroit

And silly me thought that you would come up with a complicated method for determining the winner.  |

It will be a lot easier once you see it ... just seems that pulling a name here in the dark seemed so anonymous ... |

Dadeo - it was NOT too late to enter, but with the caveat you will have to pay for some of the shipping to Canada .. I think it is about $11 and I pay for $4 ... but if you win, the book ($12 regular price) is still a nice deal. (or, we can work something else out to your liking) If you're in, we have 11 entries .. and we will decide tonight ... oddly via NBA basketball scores ...
the final two digits of 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10 and 11 from the teams listed in aforementioned order will give us our winner.

OK .. we have a winner! Going in the order of the teams listed .. and using the last two digits of their score from games of Dec. 17 ... the winner is:

The rest don't matter - we have a winner! Boston's 108 - makes entry NO. 08 the winner!
Congrats to Aimee - spanishmoss - whose head went spinning when I explained my random number generator!

Thank you so very much, Centerstage. This was a great offer on your part and I greatly appreciate it! I still don't understand your scoring system, though, but I'm not complaining.  I'll PM you my address. I can't wait to get the book.  |
