I was just asking so I knew when to be online...

I'm sure when she's online next is when the thread will go up. Of course she was waiting on info form other people donating prizes, so she could be waiting on that.
I'd just leave it at that, no need to rush her. She does have other things going on...

OK- here we go (rather than start a new thread, I'll just leave this here):
The official list of prizes!!
1- custom xboxamerica xbox 360 w/ 20 gb hard drive
1- 12 month gold subscription card
1- 4000 point MS point card
1- arcade game (choose from The Maw, Texas Hold 'Em, Worms, or Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3)
2- Fruit Ninja Kinect codes (obviously, 2 people will win this one)
1- Halo Reach map pack
1- Kinect Sports avatar pack (football uniform codes for male and female avatars, plus foam finger prop code)
1- Master Chief avatar pack (armor codes for male and female avatars)
That's 9 prizes to be had, and here are the list of people who will be in the drawing and how many entries they have!
BlackholeFTW- 5
Junior- 4
Shadowmachine- 4
Meta- 3
FuzzyRoxas- 3
Repoman360- 2
Minioger- 2
Majority Ru1e- 2
TK Chillin- 2
Beaverhunter- 2
Pureevil- 2
Daniel- 2
BeautyJustified- 2
Maglite 420- 1
BigP- 1
Theevol1- 1
So for 16 people, 9 prizes! That gives you pretty good odds to score something, right?
The way we'll play is the drawing will be Friday afternoon, roughly 5 PM EDT, and recorded in its entirety (sorry, it may be quite boring haha). Evol has volunteered to host it on his youtube channel after it's recorded, since I don't have one, so it can be embedded in this thread. Therefore the results will be posted Friday whenever he gets home from work.
Once you win a prize, your name will not be entered for the rest of the drawings, so we have the most possible winners. That said, if there is a prize that you do NOT want to be considered for (for instance, Evol has requested not to be entered in the drawing for his xbox, lol) you have 4 days to post it here and avoid winning something you don't want and becoming ineligible for anything else. So... IDK, bump this a couple of times to make sure everyone sees it.
If you didn't win any entriesyou may purchase them at $10 each through paypal sorry, I truly hope you participate the next time we do something like this.
Also, look for the next Kat's Korner episode in the near future, with details about a contest to win a code for a copy of Minecraft on XBLA!
Any questions, please post them here...
Oh, and before I forget. I'm recording the drawing to avoid any conflict because I know people seem to get crazy when they feel like they "deserve" something. This is a courtesy to the people who stuck with me through the tourney, not something I HAVE to do. I don't want to hear any shit about the drawing being rigged, someone not deserving what they win, or whatever. Everything in the drawing was donated by myself or one of your peers, for the sole purpose of people enjoying themselves and getting more interest in the next tournament we have. Bad sportsmanship and personal attacks are absolutely the opposite of what we intended, and will get you nothing. I mean it. Attack another member over the drawing, and you will lose your prize and not be eligible for future tournaments. That includes comments in the forum, over XBL, and even through PMs and shouts. It sucks that I even have to say this, but it seems to be necessary. Members who have given things away in previous contests have been harassed to the point that they felt they needed to leave the site. That sucks for all of us, and hopefully those bad apples aren't a part of this competition.
Good luck to everyone, I truly hope you all enjoyed the tournament and will be a part of future tournaments.

Kat, I have a question for you, in what order will the prizes be drawn?
My assumption is the big ones first, that way no one would win a "lesser" prize and be out of the running for the big one. Assuming this is the case I don't need a 12 month code so could be removed from that list

thanks again to Kat and everyone who donated prizes.
I would only like my name in the drawings for the 360, Live subscription, and Microsoft points. Edited in: my son likes the football outfit, so my name can also go in the Kinect Sports Avatar Pack please.
I have the rest of the prizes, so I will opt out of those so someone who does not have them can win.

I edited my list above, wasn't sure if you'd like a separate post or not.
My son likes the football outfit, so please also put my name in that if you could.
