Quoted from kaneda:Raffles almost always turn people off and i'd much rather live in a world where I can play to win vs just be randomly selected. But that's just my opinion.
There are literally hundreds of raffle ticket holders at Calif Extreme every year jammed in together at the drawing time hoping to win a game and the vast majority could never have won a prize in the tournament. It made it fun for everyone to get a chance. I like that Radio Shack is doing a promotion like this, but I would be bummed knowing winning it isn't possible at my skill level.
