I'm not sure if I correctly understand how what you are proposing would work. Let me try to rephrase it and you can correct me if I am wrong.steve
this is an idea
im not completely sure how this works
but what if we blend a raffle and a pool by having a sort of calcutta
players can be nominated by committee and/or by a member buying a ticket
in support of his nominee(which can be yourself to get on the ballot)
you can support(ie vote for) your player by buying a calcutta ticket for that player
the player that generates the most support is the sponsored played
the total amount generated is divided in some way between the site and the player
just an idea
the calcutta ticket could be a to be determined amount $ (or minimum)made as a donation to the site in support of players name
Anyone can make a donation to player sponsorship/OnePocket.org for whatever amount they want, large, small or in between. Making a donation entitles them to promote any player of their choice to be our sponsored player. Or, I guess they could divide their support between or among several players with instructions to me on how that support should be divided. Or they could make an open donation and their donation would either go to "administrator's choice" or they could just add to the fund.
The player that gets sponsored is the one that gets the most donation support pledged in their name (possibly combined with open pledges) by the deadline for a decision. Should I try to keep a public running tally here in the forums?
At the end, all donations are then split between the sponsor fund and helping to support OnePocket.org and the One Pocket Hall of Fame.
That is an interesting idea. You mention "combined with a raffle" -- how does the raffle work into it? Anyone who donates would also be entered to win other donated prizes like DVD's books, posters, etc?? Such as, a minimum of $20 donation entitles a chance in the raffle (or 1 for 20, 3 for 50 or 7 for 100)? I think we could obtain raffle prize donations -- we have in the past for sure.
