UPDATE on GUESSING GAME....RULES clarified

WE HAVE FOUR PEOPLE PLAYING SO FAR!!!  So there is $24 in the pot right now......OK, make that SIX people and $36 ;-)

And to answer some various questions that have been asked:
1.  YES, you must be present (at some point throughout the weekend) - aka tracksters, workers, etc - this allows for you to collect cash and have immediate bragging abilities ;-)

2.  AVERAGE wind speed for the 24 hour period as indicated from the website we referenced on the blog (http://www.wunderground.com/weather-forecast/US/KS/Glen_Elder.html)

3.  The official reading and results will be read / determined and rewarded at lunch time on Saturday (for Friday guesses), Sunday (for Saturday guesses) and Monday brunch (for Sunday guesses)

4.  There ARE TWO THINGS YOU ARE GUESSING!!!  AVERAGE WIND and the second being the HIGH TEMPERATURE - again this is in the 24hour time period for three separate days - Friday (12am - 11:59pm), Saturday (12am - 11:59pm), Sunday (12am - 11:59pm)

FINAL CLARITY - that is it.  No more questions allowed.  GUESSES DUE BY 11:59pm on WEDNESDAY NIGHT!!!

PLACE YOUR BETS

Well since the weather has always been a major challenge, obstacle and x-factor for the past 20 some years during Memorial Weekend someone (Joey) suggested we bet on it.  So here it is.  




RULES and INSTRUCTIONS OF THE GAME

1.  All guesses will be verified and finalized on www.wunderground.com - see an example link for today here:  http://www.wunderground.com/weather-forecast/US/KS/Glen_Elder.html

2.  We will bet on the HIGH temperature and the AVERAGE wind speed for Friday (24th), Saturday (25th), and Sunday (26th).

3.  Each bet costs $1 (if you bet for both the temperature and wind that is $2 per day)  Each "pot" or "category" are separate.  

4.  Ties will be split between two, three or more winners equally...no second places.

5.  All guesses must by in by May 15, 2013 to be valid.  

6.  Each individual can only bet on each category once daily.  

7.  Must be present to play.  

ALL guesses will remain confidential until your arrival to the campgrounds AND money is collected
