Attention all homers meatballs and superfans: it is once again time for our most sacred of traditions.

#Secret Ditka #11!

We’re gonna stay on the old-school rules. The rules are listed in Phase 2, below, but to briefly spell them out:

##1) sign-ups will be open for 10 days - we cannot guarantee inclusion if you sign-up after Monday, Nov. 20th

##2) no accounts under 1 year old

##3) accounts must be active, we won’t disclose the threshold we’ll be setting but we’ll be looking at everyone that signs up for account activity and history

##4) gifts must be sent no later than Monday December 11th - keep a receipt or something just in case, sometimes proof is needed/items are lost in shipping

##5) required minimum gift value of $25 (not including shipping) - does not apply to handmade items / artwork / etc

SIGNUP

Send an email to secretditka@gmail.com

Subject: PLEASE include your username as the Subject Line. Your Reddit Name (and only your reddit name) please.

Body: a clickable link to your reddit username - please use the old.reddit format if you can remember. For instance, mine would be old.reddit.com/u/TurnerJ5 (this is just for vetting purposes).

Also include your name and shipping address in simple “‘Name’ - ‘Address’” format, please. International participants are welcome!

Please do not include any size/preference information - if you plan on participating you can, if you wish, make a comment in THIS THREAD with your size info and your Ditka will be able to easily look it up if they need a little guidance on what gift to purchase.

##Signup deadline is Monday November 20th (11/20/2022) at midnight central

PHASE 2

After you send a sign-up email we will take a look at your account and check your username against The Naughty List; a member of the mod team will message you later for clarification or notification if you are determined ineligible. All accounts participating must be minimum 1-year-old.

Assuming you come up clean we’ll be in touch at the end of the period (+ a few days, maybe) with your Secret Ditka assignment.

Rules

To keep it simple gifts must be sent no later than Monday Dec. 11, minimum gift value of $25. Scammers/deadbeats are banned and shamed.

Again, I will REPLY TO YOUR EMAIL WITH YOUR MATCH INFO so keep an eye on it! No excuses, after you sign up! Let’s go!

RELIEF DITKAS?

And like always - if you are one of those kind souls that is willing to be a Relief Ditka and send gifts to those that are shafted or screwed over in any way-- shoot an email to us as well, and bless you.
