What the heck is a tricky tray??

What the heck is a tricky tray??

Participants purchase raffle tickets and place the tickets in canisters near the items they hope to win. One person can put as many tickets as they want in a given container to increase the odds of winning.

Credit to the RU people who are running this, who I imagine are giving up seeing the end of what could be a historic game to set this up

I'm on the auction committee. We'll be setting up the auction early Sunday and finish the setup before tipoff. We won't miss the game's ending. :)

 

[LeapinLou]

@PiscatawayMike thanks for your service to the Court Club. Good bunch of guys that run that show.

Then why not call it a Chinese Auction which is what it is?

How does that offend anyone?

Why does tricky tray offend you?

 

[bwrlaw]

Is there a list of items available.

The complete list will be released on Friday according to the OP.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

It was called a Chinese auction because the containers people placed their tickets in were Chinese food containers. Chinese Food Container Auction doesn't have the same ring to it though. Don’t think the Court Club uses Chinese food containers.

 

[fischy5000]

not asking for myself, but just curious---do people not in attendance get to submit any bids to the CC in advance for the auction items?

 

[PiscatawayMike]

@PiscatawayMike thanks for your service to the Court Club. Good bunch of guys that run that show.

Thanks Lou. A good bunch of guys, indeed. I've been a member since the early 90s.

maybe somebody who was bought and sold in a chinese human trafficking ring would be offended
