Anil Kumble Book winner
During IPL phase we had a You Tube contest for new members that we got on from facebook . We found around 5600 new RC fans through You tube sign up! And as promised the top 3 most active members won the Anil Kumble book!
So our 3 lucky winners are -
shaungoa - shaunak borkar
WallMakesAReturn - sowmya
montu17 - Surender kumar
Congratulations on winning the Anil Kumble book, 'Wide Angle' autographed by him! Please mail me your home addresses at anisha@royalchallengers.com and I will courier the book out to you.

n yes got to agree... mods need to do something for the active fans of this site.. cause even after having 85k fans hardly 15-20 ppl post here... talking in cricketing terms.. this site has become test cric whereas youtube n FB taking the spotlight of T20.. :)
Otherwise, someone has to clarify that there is nothing "sub rosa" about this award since Mahesh says even he didn't read about it!
Unofficial, privately run, informal fan clubs can do whatever they want (I conducted a "mock cricket quiz to my nephews and niece and ended up awarding all of them with a ticket for the RCB-KKR match!).
The "official Fan Club" however, should remember that everything is being watched and they owe an explanation - of course you people have been giving the explanations - sometimes they are not convincing!
This fan club, in particular, should begin to respect the time their fans give - not just the number of friends they bring! I'm going to place a huge premium on my time from now on!!
I hate to play the role of an Ombudsman on this site - hopefully, I won't get an occassion that would tempt me to play this role again!
@ Raghunath - Thank you. I totally agree with some of your points and I promise to try and get something big for everyone who has truly been active and present here.
a) A You Tube contest result could be announced on You Tube - I don't remember having seen the contest announcement on this site anyway! Not that I would have participated but I would like to read and be in the know :) )
b) Looks like this site is doing everything to please fans who have made Facebook, YouTube their home and ignored those who had made RCB website their home! Does it make sense if one says "The capital of India is New Delhi but Lok Sabha is in Mumbai!?" No.
So please ensure that the capital of RCB Fan Club is brought back to www.royalchallengers.com and not Facebook or YouTube!
c) "Volumetric Contests" aimed at increasing fanbase should have a share of 25% of the awards. "Valuemetric Contests" should have 75% share.(not proper English, but conveys the message!).
Otherwise, the fancount may increase but the site content quality will slump from good to mediocre to abysmal!
I can already sense many getting exasperated by the number of jaded, "Lucky Dip" contests going on here.
If Pun33t or anyone else who has the highest number of posts on Discussion Board gets the book, I would say the credibility of this site will be restored. Because the DB link is in an obscure place, not many (including me) would even bother to click it!
@Raghunath - Just want to clear out one stance here - We have never said that other members on site are 'inactive'. Unfortunately it was a contest for You tube this time around.
I absolutely agree that a gift as precious as the Anil Kumble book is a HUGE thing to giveaway and we need to give it away to someone like Pun33t.
And we do have some contests planned for all members to give out 'Wide Angle'.... I was going to announce the contest next week - unfortunately - I had to announce this you tube one prior to that one....
@ Raghunath - But thank you - point duly noted! Will make sure that all the Pun33ts are happy first before we proceed to others :-)
