Who's next in line? This seems undefined, and it looks like this "handing over" doesn't follow the same order in which the categories were listed. [...]
Unfortunately, the prize cannot be exchanged for bitcoins and will not change hands any further. Even before the start of the event, Sportsbet and I determined the three most significant nominations, and the prize should have gone to one of the winners.
It is unfortunate that all three refused, since in fact ordinary users like me will be left without the opportunity to watch the hypothetical booze on BitcointalkShow. Also, as I've already pointed out, it's unlikely that Steve would have sacrificed the winner's privacy (I'm pretty sure there's an option for the winner to handle the airfare and hotel bookings themselves) + he could come to the party under a pseudonym.
All winners will share the prize pool of 50 mBTC and free bets will be drawn between the voters. Moreover, this year the main prize will be a VIP tour for two, to an Arsenal or Southampton match, The main prize cannot be exchanged for Bitcoins, so if the prize is not claimed, it will go to the winner in the Bitcoin Geek nomination, (if the prize is not claimed again, it will go to the winner in the Bitcointalk Ninja nominationincluding a corporate box, accommodation and flights).
