10MILESDEEP Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I was having some lunch yesterday at a local restaurant. They are having some sort of contest for patrons to fill out a bracket and the one with the most correct gets $500. By the end of lunch, the 3 early games are almost over. I see a guy a couple seats down from me watching the games and still filling in his bracket for this contest. He ends up waiting until all the first three games are done before giving his sheet to the bartender to submit.... and she takes it. Then I hear him tell some guy that he "won this thing last year." What would you do at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billay Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Don't participate in contests that accept entries after the deadline, or at least, don't expect much from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I assume there was no entry fee? As such there really is nothing you can/should do ... other than submit your revised entry when they submit their entries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiefjay Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Talk to the manager, it's probably the dumb waitress that doesn't know that crap. She should be fired. It's like when the waitress puts Curling on the tube when there's a good football game on. She doesn't know better so you have to make the manager aware.

Pope Flick Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Quit snitchin!! If there's no fee, don't play. If you payed a fee ask for a refund because this guy is the equivalent of a pickpocket, and we know they don't deserve to get away with stealing.

twiley Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Is there a mobile formatted website version of the MB? I don't think so. It comes across a little skewed on my blackberry but still works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonkis Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I don't think so. It comes across a little skewed on my blackberry but still works. Wish it was formatted, but I'll try it on my Treo, anyway. Tx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pope Flick Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 If you're on Treo, put your internet options on 'optimized' page not 'wide page.' It puts most everything in a single column and makes everything eaiser to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
