Maybe if these were donated entries were really respected and created new teams attending the contests it would be a good thing.
But anybody who has seen the raffle and ensuing frenzy of teams trading and low balling to get a deal on the entry for a contest THAT THEY WERE GOING TO ANYWAY knows that it's little more than a fundraiser. KCBS used to keep the money. If it now goes to Kookers Kare it should be promoted eas such.
If I were an organizer I would decline and use the donation within my own world.
I agree with Ray and Phil. Either announce that all proceeds go to Kookers Kare, or get rid of the item on the application.
Exactly. at 15K, that raffle is a cash cow for KCBS. With the mentality of 1 hit paying an entry fee, folks don't think twice about dropping a few hundred dollars on raffle tickets. With the size of banquet attendance, that's big $$ for Kcbs, generated by organizers donations from events they have already given Kcbs over a grand to sanction. Like I recommended before, with the trickle down effect of those donated entries I don't see it being a blow to KCBS wallet if the credited an organizer the value(or portion) of an entry fee back into the sanctioning fee. That credit will go alot further to the teams as something tangible at a contest such as a little bigger prize pool or team breakfast, free ice, etc..... than it would in the hands of KCBS.
