SSR's Caption Contest Rules and Notes

Posted by SSreporters
640 days ago


I'll go through with this thing after the general applause. Here are some things to note:

1. There will be 1 contest from Monday-Friday, with the first one Monday on March 3rd, and it will run all the way to Friday on March 28th.

2. Any one of you can join and create a caption.

3. I'll set up a template for you to access to select the winner of all of the caption contests of that week.

4. After the last contest on March 28th, we'll have the standings, and the top 2 winners will face off in the caption contest finale.


[edit] Rules:

1. You are allowed 1 caption. A 2nd one and any other caption after that will be not count, so think about what you're going to say.

2. Cutoff time for a caption contest is 12:00 AM local time. So even if it's 12:00 AM in New York, you still have time to get your caption if you live in Colorado.

3. With said template, it will have a comments section for you to vote for the winner.

4. Don't vote for yourself!

5. Cutoff time for voting for a contest winner is again 12:00 AM local time the next night.

6. No anons allowed.


[edit] Example

There is a contest on Monday. Everyone's captions are put in. You have from midnight Tuesday to midnight Wednesday to vote for the winner. I'll tally up the points to determine for Monday's contest.


Any questions?

Why not just say only your first caption counts? If someone thinks of another good one, there's no reason why they can't share it.

Sorry, I meant to say that 2nd caption will be DQ'ed.

Thank you, SS. You're the best. And yes, I love the fact that you said 12:00 am LOCAL time zone. Can I just make up a time zone, or am I going to have to make you research it? ;)

So if I'm on a plane flying around the world at the exact speed of one time zone per hour there's no time limit???

Even then, the limit would be 24. And good luck getting to the ground and on the internet in each zone.

Would you even be subject to the rules of time?
