If response is so overwhelming that 400 requests are reached, Graig has agreed to do a second painting so as two winners may be achieved. In that event, numbers will be assigned to the second group of 200 entrants as above and separate event selected for determining the winning number of the second event.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL

Sounds great! Thanks for arranging and thanks to Graig for offering up this opportunity.

To all,
I want to post here that whoever is the lucky winner(s), remember, there still is a waiting list before Graig starts any paintings. No exceptions here. And the size of 16 x 20, could take up to 6 months to complete. But we all know, they are well worth it.

+2!

Sale of entries will begin on Sunday, May 4th, 2014 @ 8PM (EST)

This will be board time correct? So posts at 7:59 will be disallowed?

[billyb]

effe,
I was not aware of no posts after 7:59, exuse me, time to scramble and check this out, thanks for the insight.
Effe,
I misunderstood you, I am going to try and enter the thread at exactly 8:00, whatever the time is, when you see the sight pop in, I will be taking entry requests.
I read your first post too fast and thought there was no posts allowed after 7:59pm on Sun, my heart was in my throat for a second. I will have this current thread still going and hope to answer questions here. I don't want to start the other too soon as I will be getting questions on that sight that might interfere with the requesting procedures.

Great idea!

So the signup thread won't exist prior to 8. That answers my question, thanks!

I think I must have missed something where the thread went from "i'm in" a max of 200 entries to this May 4th thing. Will there be a new thread?


ok I see it now, just an inquiry how many would be in

[Michael B]

I am interested, but does it have to be baseball? Will he consider other sports ie. track and field? I appreciate his work, but I would have no interest in a baseball theme painting.

"Buddy System" allows a member to request his and another member's requests, on same request post, HOWEVER, WITH CAP OF 5 STILL IN PLACE, THE TOTAL ENTRIES REQUESTED BY THE 2 MEMBERS USING THE "BUDDY SYSTEM", CANNOT EXCEED THE CAP OF 5 TOTAL ENTRY REQUESTS. If 5 entries requested, then both members of the "Buddy System" will be considered at max, and cannot purchase further entry requests until Cap is lifted.
4. At 200 entries, sales will stop, capped at 200. But keep posting as entries may come available or second event may occur, depending on response. (see more below)

Once payment is received, an indication of payment will show up, next to your name, on the entry list.
6. Your entry numbers will be given out in order of requests, via the raffle thread. Example: First member, if request is for three entries, will get numbers 1,2,3, Second member, if request is for 2, will get #4 and 5, and third member will start at 6 and so on, until 200 entries is achieved.

STIPULATIONS: Graig Kreindler does reserves the right of final word, as to content of the subject matter, of the paintings requested. Also, Graig wanted to let everyone know that 16 x 20 paintings are used mainly for head and upper body portraits,( like Conlon Portraits), and smaller full figures. The 16 x 20 paintings cannot be used for complex action shots or panoramics and still maintain the level of detail and quality that Graig creates. So please, don't expect a painting like Gehrig's farewell with everyone one the field. Thank You.


GOOD LUCK TO ALL

where do we send the entries?

FWIW, It would take 40 members to instantly fill up the raffle, not 20. And that would require each member to be buying their full allotment of 5 entries. I won't be buying 5 entries (not knocking Graig, I just can't afford it), and I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

The main thing though is to ensure that the first raffle goes off successfully, with a full roster of entrants. Even if it fills up instantly, there will be a second raffle with exactly the same prize as the first one. You're talking about 400 entries being up for grabs altogether. Nobody is going to be shut out of participation altogether, and I really don't think that whoever wins the second raffle in that case would complain that they weren't in the first one.

Also, if the first raffle fills up instantly, adjustments will be made for later raffles to increase the number of available entries and/or reduce the cap. These rules aren't set in stone, but we need to see how fast this first one goes before adding any more governors.
