Rare Entries -- The All-Sports Version

Thanks, Jer, for that wonderful contest, even if
I did really poorly. Well, anyway, I'm going to
present to you MY version of the contest. And because I'm
a sports junkie, this is the Allsports variety of
the contest. Standard rules apply, which
are:

1. Find one (right) answer for each question.
2.
For each correct answer, you will receive a point
tally equal to the number of people who also answered
that answer.
3. For each NON-correct answer
(including non-answers), your score will be the number of
people entered.
4. Your FINAL RATING is the product
of your scores.
5. Low score wins.

Here's
an example question with scoring:

The item to
find is "a former WWF champion". I receive 40 entries,
of which 23 say Steve Austin, 13 say Hulk Hogan, 3
say Jesse Ventura, and 1 says The Undertaker.
Everyone who said Austin gets 23 points, everyone who said
Hogan gets 13 points, and the lucky sap who gambled on
Undertaker gets the optimum 1 point. HOWEVER, the three
suckers who said Jesse Ventura (who never held the office
of WWF champion) are saddled with 40 points.
Fortunately, that's a hypothetical, and there *are* no WWF
questions. Not this week, anyway.

Right. So here we
go. For minimum points, give me:

1. A city
that plays host to a AAA-level minor league baseball
team.
2. Anyone drafted in the first round of the NBA
draft in 1995.
3. One of the twelve teams in the NHL
immediately after the NHL expanded from 6 to 12 teams.
4.
A player who won the Heisman Trophy, yet did *not*
play quarterback.
5. Anyone who has been the number
one pick in the NFL draft.
6. A college basketball
conference that was represented by one team in the 1999-2000
NCAA Division I basketball tournament.
7. A nation
that, as of today, is still alive in the CONCACAF
qualifying for the 2002 World Cup.

Have fun, people.
The contest deadline is Thursday, June 1, at noon.
I'll post the results by 5 PM most likely, then I'll
be a-skedaddlin' off to Greenville, SC, and PACE.
Maybe if I'm feeling generous, I'll put up another
all-trash Rare Entries competition. Like with movies. Or
TV.

Heck, if you piss me off enough, I might just DO the
WWF, and we wouldn't want that to happen,
right?

Right.

So have fun! Remember, 6/1 at High Noon!

Huh?
What's that? Oh, right, silly me...

Send them to
my summer email address, Andy_Goss_at_... .
That way, I'll be sure to see them first thing in the
morning.

There, I think that's it.
