   Hey NEXY fans,
you may have read about Karis M and Karis M+, the new unique inverted rubbers from NEXY: here is the announcement; and here what makes them special.

More pictures and information in the nexy.com store: Karis M, Karis M+.

Oscar (user Nexy in this forum), is offering a free pair of Karis rubbers (one Karis M and one Karis M+, total value $100) to 10 players in this forum that are willing to test and review the rubber. 

Here is the deal:
5 pairs of Karis M/M+ will be given to "qualified testers".
5 pairs of Karis M/M+ will be given to "lucky testers".

Qualified testers
 need to have a sound history of reviewing table tennis equipment. You 
can apply by posting in this thread (NOT by PM to me!) and adding a few 
words explaining your experience in reviewing table tennis equipment and
 one or more links to reviews you wrote. Preference goes to testers that
 can put the rubbers in perspective, so please specify how you plan to 
review the rubbers and to what you would compare them.
Qualified testers will be chosen by Oscar and myself. 
Deadline for applying as qualified tester is December 28, 12:00 GMT (that's noon).

Lucky testers will be decided by lot. Any forum user may apply as lucky tester. You can apply by posting in this thread (NOT by PM to me!) and adding a number between 56 and 4849.
 To win, you must be among the 5 users that come closest to the number 
resulting from the concatenation of the LAST two numbers of the German 
Lotto "6aus49" of the December 31, 2016, draw (that's the fifth and 
sixth number, the "Super" number is ignored). A few examples: each 
number drawn is between 1 and 49 and numbers are displayed in ascending 
order, so if the last two numbers are "8" and "24", the winning number 
is 824; if the last two numbers are "12" and "45", the winning number is
 1245. The draw is at 19:25 German time.
Deadline for applying as lucky tester is December 31, 12:00 GMT
 (that's noon). If your post was modified, it's the "last modified" date
 that counts. In case of draw, the user having a post with earlier 
posting/last modified date wins.
This may sound complicated, but we 
needed to find a random number generation mechanism that is transparent 
and tamper-proof. The results of the draw will be visible here (in German) and here
 (in English). In case of conflict, the German results are official. In 
case that for any reason there is no draw on December 31, the numbers of
 the subsequent draw will be used.

You are free to apply both as qualified and lucky tester.
For fairness, we will try to announce qualified testers before the draw on December 31, but no guarantee.

Selected testers (both qualified and lucky) are expected to order any item (even small) from the Nexy Tabletennis store and pay shipping costs to their location (likely about 20$). On top, they will get one Karis M and one Karis M+ rubber for free. Testers will be able to select color and thickness of the two rubbers.

In exchange for the free rubbers, testers
 are expected to test the rubbers for at least a few training sessions 
and to post a fair review of the rubbers in this forum.

Selected testers will be announced here and receive detailed instructions about how to proceed by PM.

If you have questions, please post them publicly in this thread.
Thanks and good luck!
