After talking about it for what seems like forever, I'm finally at a place where I can start the raffle for the AZB-1p DCC room.

Due to the different items and the number of items, it's not going to be possible to raffle each item individually. This is going to be one giant raffle for multiple items. The drawing will be on Oct 7th.

All the items will be on a list and we will work off of that list. The 1st ticket drawn will be the winner of the 1st item on the list and so forth. It is possible to win multiple items.

The drawing will be held at the Tiger Planet Pool tournament in Arnold, MD the wkend of the 7th. There will be at least 4 AZB members (possibly more) at this tourney who will witness the drawing and the validity of the drawing. I will also have a list of all the ticket numbers that have been assigned and all tickets will be accounted for after the drawing, again to ensure the validity of the raffle. (I don't want anyone questioning the integrity of this raffle so I'm taking as many steps as possible to make sure that doesn't happen) ;)

Checks and money orders will be accepted for payment. I will not be using paypal. I know that it's nice and easy to use as a sender but I'm not going to fool with it and the fees as a recipient. You have until Oct. That's plenty of time to write a check and get a stamp. :)

I will accept money for tickets up to Oct 6th. Our postal service can do amazing things at times but can also take their time. It would be in your best interest to have the check mailed out at least 5 days prior. Any money received after the 6th will be returned to the sender. I will also accept donations of items up til Oct 6th.

As a thank you to all the people that have donated items for the raffle, Donovan has made a webpage and included a banner to everyones website. We've also added pictures of the raffle items that I currently have in my possession.
http://www.az1p-raffle.com/

Not all of the items are listed on the website at this time. There are quite a few people that have told me they will be donating items for the raffle at a later date.

This thread will be the main raffle thread and any updates will be posted here. I am going to include a link to this thread in my signature so that it can be referenced easily.

Prices for the tickets will be...
Three tickets for $5
Seven tickets for $10
Twenty tickets for $20

When you mail in your check or money order please include a piece of paper that contains your screen name and also your mailing address. I hope to have everything boxed & ready to ship by the time of the drawing and will want to ship them the following Monday if at all possible.

Mail to...
DCCR 07
129 E. Maple St.
Palmyra, PA. 17078

To get things rolling, pool room owner and AZ member cueandcushion (real name Craig) is going to give a free t-shirt to the first ten people that buy tickets. Thanks Craig! :)

EDIT:::: Make checks payable to Timberly Pike. Sorry about that.

Here's a list of all the items I have & a description if needed. Lots more has been promised. I'll update this as I go along and let everyone know when I've added stuff.

Hey Tims~ This is great, thank you for your hard work!

I assume that you are still taking donations? Is this correct? Let me see what I can do as far as getting donations from area pool halls in my neighborhood.

I'm taking donations up until Oct 6th. ;)

For those of you that aren't aware of the reason behind the raffle, here's an explanation that Williebetmore had written up to describe it and it's purpose....

Timberly and I, along with several other AZBilliards forum members (and the owner of onepocket.org), organized a private room at this year's DCC. We had a private, 9 ft. table provided by Greg Sullivan, and many activities all week long: exhibitions and challenge matches with pro's, lessons from some hall of famers, giveaway tournaments for the members. We also had a celebrity Scotch doubles match for 2 of our members, who partnered with Efren Reyes and Jeanette Lee (played on the television table with a Sardo rack, and broadcast on BCN). It was a great opportunity for our internet community to get together and share in the activities we all love (and discuss endlessly on the AZBilliards forum).

Our room was not sponsored by AZBilliards.com, but rather was funded solely by the donations from our participating members (all pool fanatics who participate on the internet forum). This coming year (2006), Greg Sullivan has given us permission to have some "sponsors" for our room to help defray the cost - in hopes that we can use some of our money to fund a pro competition that can be taped by Accu-Stats (perhaps a rotation match between Efren and a top U.S. player).

We are seeking sponsors that would like to contribute some merchandise that we can auction to our members. All funds will be used for the room, the table, and prize money for any tournaments that we organize and sponsor. Other than our gratitude all we can offer in return is frequent mention of your product on the largest internet forum for true pool fanatics and students of the game - it is a truly amazing collection of extremely knowledgeable pool players who have a deep love for the game.

Can we make this a sticky since it's going to be a while before the drawing takes place?

Thank you Timberly

Thanks for taking the time and energy to hold this raffle. As someone who does this type of thing for my company, doing special promotions and having raffles and theme parties. I know the work you are doing is time consuming and probably chaotic. Everyone appreciates your hard work and I am sure will support the DCC Raffle this year.


Some items I have planned to donate:
14k Gold hand made 9-Ball pendant
14k Gold hand made Pool Shark pendant
Joe porper style cue holder-holds 4 cues
Handmade 2 cue holder- Cocabola
Handmade 2 cue holder- Bacote (I think it is anyway)
Ulti-Mate tip tool
Soft Tip Viper Eclipse Dart set with case, extra tips, extra flights
Cue & Cushion embroidered Hoodie

Hopefully I will be able to get my a** to the post office to have this mailed to Timberly asap so she can post the pics.

Can you review for us AZers:

1) Where does the money raised from the raffle go?

2) Do you have to be present to win?

3) If you win something, who pays shipping?

Thanks - this looks like a great opportunity.

Timberly,

I reviewed your web site and because I am a fair person I would like to make this suggestion.

Since Barbara donated nutz she too should have her pic on your web page...after all, Linda's is up there.

Landshark<~~~never got nutz :mad:
