I'm happy with the "rename a draftee" prize for the world cup contest, though I'm scared that whoever wins will come out with the typical BB draft class of "role player role player bench warmer" and wind up firing their renamed player...

For another contest, flipping or slightly bumping or otherwise rearranging skills on a draftee would be interesting. I don't know how set the management is on "not affecting competitive balance with contest rewards" though, since the prizes up to this point have mostly been Supporter packages (which doesn't directly help you win) and now a rename (which hardly helps you win at all unless you go by Jelme's school of "team with awesomest named player wins").

I wont say never, but I would term the possibility of such a thing as "extremely unlikely".

I had wanted to do a design contest for the U21 Banner Logo, with the prize being that we use your banner/logo. =)

I actually offered that prize once and it was met, with, uh, not as much joy as you'd think.

Do you mind saying why they didn't love it? Did they just not think it was a good idea or did they not want to make the prize so helpful to a team? Or was it more of a maintaining the realism of the game type of thing?
