And so it begins.

THE MAN





THE CONTEST


The main reason for this blog is that we will be hosting a pool on how much eric will weigh by the end of his semester (May 23rd 2009). so here are the RULES:

1. Each person is allowed a maximum of 5 pool entries.

2. Each pool entry will cost $5 and for each entry both a weight and body fat percentage must be given. (The body fat percentage will be used as a tie breaker in the event of a tie. A tie may occur if there are multiple bets on a certain weight, if two bets are the same difference from the end weight etc. ) In the event multiple people guess the same weight and body fat percentage the winnings will be chopped.

3. All entries are emailed to ericweighsin@gmail.com

4. Since this pool is to help eric lose weight, the amount of weight eric loses will be the percentage he gets from the total pool. For example if he loses 10 pounds he will receive 10% of the total pot. The rest will go to the winner(s).

5. If you do know eric you can not in any way reveal your entry weight to him. All guesses must be kept to yourself.

6. You are allowed to influence eric. As a reminder, you don't have to necessarily bet that he will lose weight so junk food or any other tactic to get at him is fair game. Positive influence is also encouraged since we really do want eric to lose weight.

7. Eric will officially weigh in on January 26th, 2009 and once the weight is posted bets may be sent to the email address specified above. All bets must be entered by Friday January 30th 2009.
