Gint-A-Cuffs

...will someone please explain to me how this works? 2010 A&G was my first real exposure to the product and that was strictly from a retail angle. I was visiting the Gint-A-Cuffs site earlier today looking at last year's rules and I'm intrigued...but still a little confused. Anyone willing to explain this all to a newbie?

    Careful, the rules on the site currently are the 2010 rules... they haven't posted the 2011 rules yet... I'm just as confused and I hope I didn't ruin my eligibility by posting my already opened box and goodies...

    I saw the rules posted were from 2010. I'll read up some more this evening.

    I am trying it for the first time too. I know Spankee of My Cardboard Mistress has a template that he designed to help out players. I downloaded it and it looks great.

    Basically, there is an arbitrary list of rules created by the commish. Certain cards are worth more points. Usually, they are either somewhat rare, or at least tougher to pull than a base card. Each participant gets awarded points for pulling a card of their favorite team, and for pulling a card of their favorite player, or a favorite player of any participant. Both favorite player and favorite team must be selected prior to the start of the competition. You can also lose points for pulling cards of any player on a list that is predetermined by the commish prior to the start of play. Scores are tabulated by pack, and then added up at the end to come up with your grand total. Whomever scores the highest, is the champion. It was invented by me in 2009 and the reins were handed over to Mark's Ephemera last year. He is the only Commish in the history of Gint-A-Cuffs, and his rulings are not to be taken lightly.

    Thank you for asking this Colbey, I've been wondering about it myself. Thanks Beardy for a nice overview.

    It is actually the best invention ever created by a card blogger. It will take months of reading posts to see who is going to win. It became so popular Topps is sponsoring it.
