Okay guys it is official, I won the 2009 City All Events Scratch Championship, which means my 2231 officially broke the city record. Yes I know the number isn't HUGE, but I am really proud of it. I've never won anything in my life, besides like team league championships, and I have definitely never set any records, so it's a big deal to me.
Now here is my dilemma/question. My options for a "prize" were either a spring type jacket and $-25 of prize fund, a sweatshirt and no loss of prize fund, or an extra $25 of prize fund. I am already getting a jacket for the team championship I won, and was notified today that my jacket will also be embroidered with "Scratch All Events Champion" as well. So no need for the jacket, and I don't really want the sweatshirt, so I decided to take the extra $25.
Well because this is such a big deal to me, I was thinking about having a ring made from the USBC website. I don't know if I would wear it all the time, or at all, but I think it would be somewhat cool as an award even if I had to pay for it myself.
What do you guys think? I'm at like 65%-35% in my head on whether to do it or not. The cost would be around $100, but I also somehow won an optional scratch singles pot with a 676 (no one got in because the real winner of the tournie shot much bigger than that) which the pot was worth just over $100, which, since in my eyes, was just a bonus, is like free money.
Anyways, I'm on the fence, so let me know what you think. Cool, not cool, good idea, bad idea...whatever you think let me know.
Thanks!
