So if you're a player on the Italy team, are you allowed to enter this contest saying that Argentina will win?

To me that sounds more like game fixing then trying to win a graphics card |

LOL- they forgot to mention you have to give it back every year!! 
So you don't actually win a card, they just let you borrow it! Ha!
Still a good prize I suppose... but what a pain in the ass- you will be without a card for who knows how long every single year until they send you another one.. I wonder if you are late if you lose your next card?
Fine print..
Every year thereafter [COLOR=Red]the winner is required to return his/her existing card [/COLOR] won through this event.....
[COLOR=Red]PowerColor will then replace [/COLOR] the winner's GFX card by providing the latest high end GFX card offered by the company at that time.

That cracks me up.. a huge rich company can't just actually give a card away like they say in the big huga advertisement, they need the other one back FIRST to sell as a refurb! Won't actually cost them a dime! |
