When did they force you to enter? When did you ask about the level of compe ion? Did they provide a rule sheet or something that said they wouldn't bring in a ringer?
No, then sorry about your luck.
So last night some friends invited me for a cold beer and a couple games at Dave & Busters.
They announced a compe ion for a Autographed Tim Duncan Spurs Jersey.
Ok here is the scam part. You sign up for this 15 people.. BUT... some employee comes out and you have to BEAT THE D&B Employee...
Mind you your paying CASH to play this with your D&B power card...
Of course NO ONE wins the Duncan Jersey.
W T F is that? That's like playing in a pool tourney and a guy that works for the pool hall walks out with some named "irene" pool stick etc..
What a scam....

lol.
Now now JB, using common sense and intelligence......
Sounds fair. Sharpshooters are a dime a dozen.
It's not typical for Employees to be involved in prize bearing contests of any sort.
Sure it is. Its a game and compe ion, and you're upset because it wasn't easy? OK!
Sounds like you need to go to the gym and work on your jumper
It was a contest that should of been for D&B customers... that's the way it was presented. The employee came out at the last minute. It's a matter of business ethics and sportsmanship. I never said I competed this was something I observed.
I just reread the first post and it made me laugh more. Ah, thats funny.
No its a matter of you got your ass whipped, and you want us to feel bad for you.It's a matter of business ethics and sportsmanship.
If I had not become physically disabled while working for the Federal Courts here in town, helping protect all you guys are your families from bad guys. Then maybe I would of entered the contest.... Seeing as how I can't shoot bball anymore and make it in the hole it would of been embarassing.
wtf are u babbling about.
Man you can't even walk in my shoes bandwagoneer... back off...
The post has nothing to do with me.. I didn't need or want the jersey.. I wanted one of the excited spurs fans to get it.
I also don't think Tim Duncan would appreciate his fan's being mislead like that either. He's not that type.
I don't why you guys are being so rude in this thread. Vashner is right. If it was represented as a contest for Spurs fans to come out and try to win a jersey, and then it ends up you have to play an employee and NO ONE wins the jersey -- it's just bad business.
Usually if a business holds some type of contest or drawing, employees aren't allowed to enter...
I'm gonna have to agree with Vashner on this one. That doesn't sound fair at all.
You're pissed becuase you couldn't beat a waiter / carnie at HORSE?
You expected a compe ion for an autographed Duncan jersey to be some easy contest between you and only fourteen other people who've been drinking Crown and eating dinner?
Wow.
I think you guys are missing the point that I don't even think Vashner competed in the contest. I think he's just commenting on the situation, right?
If they DIDN'T announce that you were going to be competing against a D&B employee.. then I agree that it's not right. They should present the whole thing exactly the way it should be.. no "surpises" once everyone is entered. Especially if they are paying with their own money.. they should know exactly what it is they are getting into.
I just want to know if it was the game where you have the short shot that you can sit and bank them in all day (I've scored over 100 on that game), or the one where you're actually pumping up three pointers at the goal that is set at 10'2"...
I need details.
Sucks for you.
I don't understand why some of you think this is unfair. It's their house and they get to make the rules.
And if the fry cook can hoop better than you, that's your problem.
Why does everyone keep saying stuff to Vashner like "You were just pissed because you weren't good enough to win"?
By this post ....
.... you'll see the Vashner didn't even enter the contest. He's just commenting that it's a scam to promote it as they did and then have NO ONE win the jersey.
no what I think is unfair about it is that they DID NOT ANNOUNCE IT. If they make it seem one way and it turns out a different way (in this case bringing in a D&B Employee that they did not say would be part of it) then that is what makes it unfair. If they had made it clear how the game and rules would be beforehand, and everyone knew what they were getting into.. then it I wouldn't be thinking it was unfair.
