Contest Confusion

[longhornfreak]

The organization of the contest page is very un-proffessional. After getting the email you sent out, I decided to navigate around. It seems like two different people edited the page. One was trying to put the prizes as one competition, the other was separating the prizes into two sections. Twords the top it talks about the young gun competition and lists the prizes and there is a TBIA award on there. Then in bold letters halfway down it says The Best Idea Award (TBIA) and gives the details.

Also at the begining of the Young-Gun contest, I could have sworn that there were 3 prizes which explains why the order goes from the prizes

First Place
2nd Runner up

instead of...

First Place
1st Runner up
2nd Runner up

Yea.. that is confusing 0_o

But it does have the 1st and 2nd runner ups. It goes:

First Place
TBIA
1st Runner Up
2nd Runner Up

Well see im confused on that too, the 1st runner up seems to be appart of the best idea contest not the young gun. And also I have no clue when either one wins, since there is just a date thrown in the middle of both.

[DarK_AssassiN]

Oh yea... that can get confusing. I hope I havent had it wrong this whole time and thought that the 2nd and 3rd places were for the best idea....

I'm guessing both end at the same time but I'm in no way sure about that. Hopefully someone can come in here and clear it up...

So the way I look at that, it's 1st runner up is for TBIA, and second runner up is basically 1st runner up for Young Gun comp.

[DarK_AssassiN]

Ooooh ok. Now I get it... thanks Scott ;)

And I was misreading the runner up things, I didn't see TBIA next to the 1st or TYGA next to the 2nd. That's what I get for reading to fast... :P

[longhornfreak]

thats the same thing that is posted in the contest part, it's a copy paste. But I could have sworn there was 1,2,3 before the TBIA was placed in there

[Scott]

I actually copied that from the email we got regarding the contest ending soon, so it's a C+P of a C+P :P

[DarK_AssassiN]

No wonder, lol. The email was in my spam folder for some reason.

[Scott]

HA... Mail from Michael used to go into mine too... but I safe listed his address :P
