10 free Nexy Yoo Nam Kyu Pro ALC blades f. testers

Hey Nexy fans,
it's the holiday season and it's time for another Nexy giveaway!
As usual, I am only posting this on behalf of the Nexy headquarters in Korea (so thanks Oscar and Michael!!).

Yoo Nam Kyu (유남규) Pro ALC is the latest blade from Nexy for modern topspin play in the ABS ball age. It was announced here in this forum.

More pictures and information in the Nexy table tennis store: Yoo Nam Kyu Pro ALC
NEXY (users Nexy and nexy.com in this forum) are giving away for free 10 Yoo Nam Kyu Pro ALC blades (value 200 USD each) to 10 players in this forum that are willing to test and review the blade.

Here is the deal:

    5 Yoo Nam Kyu Pro ALC blades will be given to "qualified reviewers".
    5 Yoo Nam Kyu Pro ALC blades will be given to "lucky members".

In exchange for the free blade, reviewers are expected to test it for at least a few training sessions and to post a fair review in this forum.

Qualified reviewers will be decided by lot. Any forum user may apply as qualified reviewer. However, you need to have a sound history of reviewing table tennis equipment. You can apply by posting in this thread (NOT by PM to me!) and adding a few words explaining your experience in reviewing table tennis equipment and one or more links to reviews you wrote.
You also need to choose a number between 56 and 4849. To win, you must be among the 5 users that come closest to the number resulting from the concatenation of the HIGHEST two numbers (in ascending order, not the order of draw) of the German Lotto "6aus49" of the December 28, 2019, draw (that's the fifth and sixth number, the "Super" number is ignored). A few examples: each number drawn is between 1 and 49 and numbers are published in ascending order, so if the highest two numbers are "8" and "24", the winning number is 824; if the highest two numbers are "33" and "48", the winning number is 3348. The draw is at 19:25 German time.
Deadline for applying as qualified reviewer is December 26, 2019, 12:00 GMT (that's noon). If your post was modified, it's the "last modified" date that counts. In case of draw, the user having a post with earlier posting/last modified date wins.
If NEXY or I feel that your profile does not match our expectations as qualified reviewer, we will move you to the pool for the draw of lucky members (see below). This will be done before the draw (this is why the deadline is earlier), so that you could still choose a different number, if you so wished.

Lucky members will be decided by lot. Any forum user may apply as lucky member, no special skills or prior experience required. You can apply by posting in this thread (NOT by PM to me!) and choosing a number between 12 and 4445. To win, you must be among the 5 users that come closest to the number resulting from the concatenation of the LOWEST two numbers (in ascending order, not the order of draw) of the German Lotto "6aus49" of the December 28, 2019, draw. A few examples: each number drawn is between 1 and 49 and numbers are displayed in ascending order, so if the lowest two numbers are "3" and "24", the winning number is 324; if the lowest two numbers are "12" and "45", the winning number is 1245. The draw is at 19:25 German time.
Deadline for applying as lucky member is two days later, December 28, 2019, 12:00 GMT (that's noon). If your post was modified, it's the "last modified" date that counts. In case of draw, the user having a post with earlier posting/last modified date wins.

This may sound complicated, but we needed to find a random number generation mechanism that is transparent and tamper-proof. The results of the draw will be visible here (in German) and here (in English). In case of conflict, the German results are official. In case that for any reason there is no draw on December 28, the numbers of the subsequent draw will be used.

You may only apply for one category of testers: qualified or lucky.
If for any reason there are not enough participants in the qualified group, we will select a correspondingly higher number of lucky testers.

Contrary to the previous giveaway, the winners will not have to order any product from the Nexy Table Tennis Store (http://www.nexyttstore.com). The blade will be listed as free product and the winners will receive instructions via PM on how to order it. The winners will have to pay shipping costs to their location (possibly about 20 USD), though. Testers will be able to select handle shape and preferred weight among those available.

The winners will be announced here and receive detailed instructions about how to proceed by PM.

If you have questions, please post them publicly in this thread.
Thanks and good luck!   


PS. Note that, since the German lotto numbers are from 1 to 49, do not repeat, and are published in ascending order, certain numbers can never be an exact match, such as 2019, 1111, 969, etc. However, this is irrelevant, because the only thing that counts is getting closest to the winning number. See this post for a discussion.

Thanks for doing a giveaway again!
