Popular Post thehumantorch Posted March 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2020 It's time for the 2020 March Madness Grading Tournament. Every great competition needs cool prizes so donations are welcome. If you donate you're expected to cover shipping costs. If your donation is heavy or you'd prefer not to ship internationally please specify. Thanks to BlowUpTheMoon and sckao for running a great contest year after year, it's a lot of work and a big commitment, and thanks to Nostalgic Attic for creating this competition.

thehumantorch Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Rules :If you've donated a prize it's up to you to cover shipping. If you don't want to ship internationally please state that in your prize donation post. :Once we've started picking we can't accept any new prizes, not fair to those who've already picked :Once we get to your name you'll have 30 minutes to pick your prize . Please send me a pm with a list of your top 10 picks well before we get to your turn. If you don't send me a list and you aren't around when it's your turn to pick you'll be skipped. If you're skipped you can still pick at any time but of course there will be fewer prizes to choose from. :If you wish to donate a prize for last place or for a random finisher outside those awarded prizes or for whatever that's cool. Just specify it in your prize description and take care of the draw or selection. Thanks guys and have fun.
