[OPEN] *** Lifetime Core Sponsorship Contest - December/January

Due to the popularity of the last sponsorship contest, and the requests of members, I am starting another membership upgrade contest. December and January

This contest will provide the winner with a LIFETIME Core Sponsor membership upgrade on RTBs.com

While it may be a smaller prize in the light of things, it will allow you to show that core sponsor Badge with Pride.

Additional rules and guidelines.

Each member is allowed a DAILY free vote during the contest. All votes must be submitted on the Forum Thread itself. If you submit a vote or votes that are outside the guidelines above, I will ignore them. You cannot change your votes once submitted. I will also not notify you if you vote for the same square more than one time. IMPORTANT, you cannot edit or delete your post once submitted so ensure it is accurate before you submit your reply to the active thread.

There are 100 possible squares this year. Increase your odds of selecting the winning square by voting every day during the contest.

All communications and your selection must be done via this Thread in the forum. This form of communication provides both parties with a Date and Time stamped copy of the vote. Members must respond uniquely each day. Additional Votes that are timestamped on the same "Forum based" timestamp will be ignored.

The first round allows each qualified member to cast a vote for which picture NUMBER they think represents the WINNING NUMBER. You will enter the square number in the forum thread that you think is the winning number. Round One ends before or near the contest end date. At this time I will determine if more than one member has selected the WINNING NUMBER.

IF a single winning vote is the result of round one, the Winner does not need to be available to win the contest.

However, IF more than one member selected the WINNING NUMBER, then we will enter round 2 of the contest, and only the multiple members that selected the correct WINNING NUMBER from round one will continue into round 2. Finalist must be available to cast their votes or risk forfeiture of their contest votes.

It is important that all finalist must be available at contest round one completion in order to participate in the upcoming elimination Rounds. If a member is unavailable during this time, their elimination round votes will be forfeited.

IF noone has correctly identified the WINNING NUMBER by this time, I will narrow the field of possible choices and everyone will enter round 2 and everyone will get a new vote.

If necessary we will continue to narrow the choices until we get a winner by means of a round 3, 4 etc.

I reserve the right to modify the contest rules as needs require. I also reserve the right to cancel this contest at anytime.
