UPDATE:: WEEK 8: RULES are that everyone who gets 1000 points gets in the drawing for week 8. You must have 1000 points. See below for point details!

The time has come for the R2R Forum Challenge! The rules and how the contest will go is as follows:

Contest Start: Feb. 1st @ 12am Eastern (each week starts over at 12am est.)
Length of contest: 12 WEEKS
Number of Qualifiers: 12 (One per each week. Points will start over at the beginning of each contest week. Each member can only qualify once.)
Winners: Each qualifier will win a prize. (We will draw for the Grand Prize from the group of 12 and then so on until all prizes are gone. One prize per qualifier)
To Qualify: Member with the top point total for each week will be that week's qualifier.

Ok so I guess you're wondering how to get points? Here goes the point breakdown.
You will receive points for certain tasks. These points are automatically added by the contest software I have so there is no room for human error. Here is a list of how to earn points.

Every time you post you will receive 10 points. (minimum of 50 characters to be counted and yes the software knows if it is 50 or not)

If you start a thread that is decided to be "STICKY WORTHY" you will be given 250 points for the week the thread has been started. If you wish for your thread to be considered for this you must contact skinz78 with a link to your thread via PM during the week that you have started your thread. The R2R Team will then decide if your thread is "STICKY WORTHY". Entries for this portion of the contest will be cut off on the Sunday of the week to give the R2R staff time to decide on what is "sticky worthy."

Every time you refer a person and they add your exact member name to the registration process you will receive 50 points. (new member must have at least 5 post for your points to add in. Also if we detect that you have created new accounts in order to "cheat" then you will be disqualified instantly and put on R2R probation. Sounds harsh I know but people try to cheat)

For every thread you post to you will receive 10 points. (this only counts one time per each thread and still needs a minimum of 50 characters)

For every forum you post to you will receive 10 points. (this only counts one time per forum and still needs a minimum of 50 characters)

For every thread you start you will receive 20 points. (you need a minimum of 50 characters to count)

Note: If we see threads and post that are worthless, they will be deleted. Also offenders will be disqualified. Also note that there are certain forums that will not count any points for post or threads no matter what. These are the selling, trading, ID, sponsor, feedback, giveaway, lounge, and club forums. These will not count!

PLEASE note that it doesn't matter how many posts and so on you have now. The contest starts everyone fresh no matter if you have 1 post or 1000 posts before the contest starts. Everyone has an equal chance!

Ok so now for the prizes and awesome sponsors of each prize!

1. Grand Prize Sponsored by REEF2REEF is a 150G Marineland Deep Dimension Aquarium, Stand, and Canopy.

Is there a way to check how many points you have? I am going to cry is I am something like 10 points shy or something! ;)

Nope, no actual way to check, its all tracked by the software, but Rev is the only one who can see it. Personally, I look at my current post count, figure I need 100 to get to 1000 pts (about 10 points apiece), and go for it. You could try and track it yourself, but that gets pretty complicated.

Man I don't even know if I am going to qualify this week.. I seriously go through this forum like crazy just for fun, but still have trouble posting that much, only because I honestly post where I want to post, not just to say blah blah to get points! :nerd: Maybe I got lucky and won the last qualifier for posting in the last thread... that would be nice! ;)

YO- FSU-sorry about your seminoles in the march madness. :)

I am hoping I qualified this week, not sure if I eeked over 1000 or not. Looking forward to seeing the qualifiers! I shouldn't be too hopeful, I think I was on the schedule to take week 9.

No worries about the Noles - It was a great run and a tough game to swallow with VCU but they have been fun to watch too. Hope to be back next year!! I'm still amazed how no #1 or #2 are in the final four!!

*Peeks to see if Rev is around*

Oh no, you're mistaken, the week #9 spot is reserved for little old me ;)
