Sure, not being a native English speaker/writer, just let me know if my rules could have been interpreted differently. In any case, I am choosing the broadest reasonable interpretation and not going to disqualify any entry...

LOL I used the impossible 1849 because it's my highest rating. I never win anything despite entering every contest on offer, so I wasn't too worried about the rules. And my assumption was correct again. What fatt calls lack of attention to the rules I call time optimization.

@BRS: ...and it's not even lack of attention, as there was no such rule! Tongue

@fatt: sure, you're welcome! An independent review of the result is always useful!

It's no longer relevant, but: if all the highest numbers had been drawn, the combination would have been 44 45 46 47 48 49. The concatenation of the first two numbers would have been 4445.
In the case of Karis, the last two numbers were considered, so the upper limit was 4849.

Oh, that`s a different interpration to mine. I thought, you meant the first two numbers that are fallen done at this evening and not the two lowest numbers from the 6.

The hour is too late here in Germany for a full post, for now let's just say that I can confirm fatt's analysis (many thanks!).

The five lucky testers of Rubicon, in order of posting, are Chicobo (243), rocketman222 (296), clannewton (305), incarnation (48), and Gauguin123 (496). Congrats!
The number in parentheses indicates how close they were to the lucky number 2729.

Tomorrow I'll declare the qualified testers and post further instructions.

I chose # 729 and the winning number was 2729, 3 out of 4 is not bad Approve, can i have a consolation prize.Wink

Anyway... I think overall the method of play was very cool and clever, mixing chance and strategy to pick the numbers. Arg0 did a great job setting the rules, you just have to read them carefully and not jump into conclusions.

...and here are the qualified testers for Rubicon, selected by me and Oscar (in order of posting):
AndySmith, patrickhrdlicka, NextLevel, JimT, elmo51

In making the selection, we considered the quality and quantity of previous testing, the players' playing characteristics and styles, and their (declared) knowledge of Nexy. We also tried to strike a balance for testers who applied for both Rubicon and Karis.
Yet, two testers were selected for both Rubicon and Karis, because we are also interested in combined reviews. Thus, in exchange for receiving both a Rubicon blade and a pair of Karis rubbers, AndySmith and patrickhrdlicka, please review them both separately and in combination. This also applies to Gauguin123, who won both contests as lucky tester.

All selected testers, both lucky and qualified, please send me a PM with your real name and shipping address. You will then receive instructions on how to proceed with your order, on top of which you will get the free blade and/or rubbers.

Thanks to all for participating!

Thanks for the opportunity. I should say that Nexy really did a lot to promote their blades and rubbers on our forum - over the last few years there has been a lot of testing, posting, reviewing - a lot of time and effort to promote Nexy and TT in the US. Best of luck and happy wishes to all in the new 2017!

Just ordered my copy of test Rubicon from the Nexy's store. Too bad they only use a rather expensive EMS service for shipping but I guess Nexy prefers that packages go with insurance and delivery guarantee.

To all testers,
if you get high shipping costs (higher than say $30-$35), please use the contact links/forms on the web pages of the shops (and/or the email address I sent you via PM) to get in contact with the Nexy staff and wait for their reply before finalising the order.
As I could see from the emails I am put in CC, you will normally get a reply with a reasonable shipping quote and if you are charged more by the online shop, they will refund the difference.

Testers,
in case shipping costs via EMS (about $30-35) are too high for you, the staff at Nexy proposed to ship parcels under 2kg via Korean post, which costs $10-18, depending on the destination country. It is cheaper, but will take around 20-30 days for delivery.
If you are fine with that, contact Nexy via email or the contact page on the shop, before finalising your order.

I'd be more than willing to shell out EMS 30-35 USD for postage for a test blade. 1/4 of the price of it & I get to play it & write a subjective review after that & the best part is that I get to keep it, right?
Not a big ding on my wallet at all.

I've finished my Rubicon review now.  If any well-known forum members of good repute want to give Rubicon a try then please get in touch and I'm happy to post it out to you, with test sheets of Karis if you want.  In return - you pay for postage, promise to write a review, and send it back to me at some point (as opposed to selling it or trading it for coaching, as some amazing people have done in the past).
