  • 20 billion point contest!!!

    Ok the time has come to lay the ground rules.

    1. The contest will start today and continue until September 7th, which is 6 weeks from now.

    2. Because this contest will go so long, and hopefully have a ton of threads entered into it, all contest threads titles have to start with "20b contest" or "20 billion contest" to let us know you have entered.

    3. It is up to the threads author to post a link in THIS thread to his or her thread. I do not want to start the voting and have been missing anyone's thread. This is YOUR responsibility.

    4. As always there will be no trolling, flaming or insulting to further your threads views. Lets keep it to logical opinions and facts.

    5. All threads will be historically based boxing threads. Anything on current events or fighters will not be validated and deleted from the links in THIS thread and possibly the forum itself. Be as creative and original as you want, but keep it boxing history.

    6. Threads will be publicly voted on by the posters of this entire forum. That means anyone can vote, so make your threads good.

    7. There will be a 2 week voting period starting just a couple of days after the contest ends. You will still be able to vote in this thread through this link if you want winner take all or top 3 winner payouts for the contest which will end Sept. 9th. If it happens to be a tie I will ask an odd number of the good people who supplied this prize money (e-points) to break it.

    8. In a perfect world I would ask that voting be based on the most original and thought provoking thread, but in the end it will be your judgement only as to who has the best thread.

    9. Out of good sportsmanship I would ask no one vote for themselves. I'd like to see you vote for another entrant, but that is not a prerequisite.

    Good luck to all, if you have any questions please ask.

        Of course it is. But no offense, if there isn't a whole slew of threads for this contest Im just going to give the money back to the donators. Im offering a nice chance for someone to make some big e-points, Im not just going to give them away because there were only 3 or 4 threads by a few posters. If that was the case I wouldn't have gathered up so many points by some very generous posters, I would have just done another 1 billion point contest from my own funds. Hope you understand.

          Of course I understand, the big money is supposed to bring threads therefore debate. If it doesn't achieve it's goal then there is no point.

          A bit like a charitable event that loses money.

              Lets get those threads going! Can't believe nobody wants a share of 28 billion e-points.

                  3 weeks left, wise guy! What I may also do is contact all the people who donated and see if they mind if I hang on to the points for another contest down the road if this one doesn't happen. Next time I'll have to run a poll to see who is interested in a contest before announcing it. Last one seem to do pretty well. I don't know why this one has been such a flop with with 14x the points available this time around.

                    Oh man I goofed. I thought this thread was started today and was wondering why you were so impatient. I didn't look at the original date. Oops.
