Hand Registration Contest - March 2019 - DOT COM only

BrandCougar · Mar 5, 2019

Let's see who can acquire the best .COM hand registration during the month of March? "Best" will be determined by your peers. You have to create it during the month of March 2019. As long as it says created 03-2019 it could have been a name born before that died and lost its age. Let me be clear, for this March contest the name has to be a new DOT COM hand reg that you own.

Here are the rules of this DOT COM HAND REG MARCH 2019 contest:

1. Hand registration during the month of March 2019.
2. You may submit up to 7 domain names. (Each name submitted must have it's OWN Reply post).
3. So if you want to submit 7 names, submit SEVEN separate Reply posts.
4. I am excluding myself from entering the contest, since I am facilitating the event!
5. The Top 20 Finalist will be selected the following way .---> (10) "Likes" entries with the most "Likes" in the thread and (10) Wildcard entries selected by a team of 5 panelist from the NamePros community. The 5 panelist will be announced after month end to avoid mid-month lobbying. Additionally, the 5 panelist (Wildcard pickers) will be be non-participants in the contest to avoid a conflict of interest and will be respected NPros members that have a wealth of experience in domaining. The panelist members will be a familiar lot.
6. The WINNER will be selected by your peers via a TOP 20 POLL from the Top 20 Finalist mentioned above.
7. The TOP 20 POLL will occur at the end of the month. This will be a 72 hour poll.
8. We welcome EVERYONE to participate in selecting the WINNER from the Top 20 Finalist list.
9. In the event of a TIE during with winner polling, the tie-breaker will go to the WINNER with the earlier submission posted to this thread. (a plan to avoid any misunderstand should a tie occur)

TOP 20 Finalist

Finalist Pick 10 - those 10 names with the most "likes" make it to the Top 20 (user involvement).
Finalist Pick 10 - those 10 names that a panel selects make it to the Top 20 (panel involvement).
Top 20 Poll - this involves everyone, but only for a 72 hour window at month end (ALL involvement).

What do you win?

Number one, props and recognition here at Namepros.
I will personally pay $20 JACKPOT (via PayPal) to the WINNER.
Anyone wishing to contribute an additional $0.30 to the Jackpot - contact me via PM - and I will add your contribution on top of the $20 Jackpot I have committed (let's see how large a Jackpot we can build).

* Sponsors welcome. Send me a PM.

JACKPOT UPDATE:

* We have had (9) NP members generously contribute additional funds to the JACKPOT.
* The JACKPOT is now at $200 Total + 1 Efty Growth subscription

SPONSOR

Yes, some exciting news this weekend!

I am pleased to announce that our friends at Efty have become a sponsor for our contest and have contributed an additional $100.00 to the Jackpot + 1 annual Growth subscription at Efty (a $144 value).

Thank you @Doron Vermaat & and the Efty team for your generosity! Much appreciated.

The Jackpot is now at $200.00 + 1 annual Growth subscription at Efty.

Please visit their website at EFTY.COM

Additional Bonus - to celebrate the Jackpot's recent growth & Efty's sponsorship - Everyone will be provided (2) extra Entries to this month's contest. The Entry limit has been increased to (7) Entries per Participant (effective immediately).

Have a great weekend!

-Cougar

ps: As a footnote - during our conversation I asked Doron the following question on behalf of our audience - "If the winner already has an Efty account, could the prize be used as a subscription extension?"

Response from Doron (at Efty) - "If the member already has an Efty account he or she can get a free upgrade to the Professional plan for as long as he/she remains an Efty user."

I am copying all the current Participants to let you know of the latest activities and the (new) SOMEWHAT LARGER Jackpot that has grown rather quickly over the past 3 days. I also wanted to let you know about Efty's generous donation of a (1) year Growth subscription to be provided to the contest Winner along with their $100 cash donation to the earlier Jackpot (now at $200). .

--- WEEKLY CHALLENGE WINNERS ---

WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT -

[B]@creataweb[/B] and [B]@Silentptnr[/B] were the winners!

The (3) Challenge Questions were -

How many Qualified Entries will we have by Noon Saturday 23rd?.
How many Page Views will we have by Noon Saturday 23rd?
How many Brave Members will join the Challenge Questions by Noon Tuesday 19th?

The Predictions - (the entries were publicly posted on pages 16 - 17 of this thread).

AND THE WINNERS -

Question # 1 WINNER - Qualified Entries - @Silentptnr - the (292) prediction was closest to the actual number of 308 Entries without going over the amount (Price is Right model) Prize: 5 Extra Entries to the March 2019 contest.

Question # 2 NO WINNER - page Views - all the predictions for page Views were a bit too high and were over the actual number of 16149 Views - therefore No Winner was selected for this question based on the Price is Right model.

Question # 3 WINNER - Brave Members - @creataweb - two individuals provided the (6) prediction which was spot on correct and exactly matched the actual number of 6 brave members who participated. @creataweb tied with @Namulator with the (6) prediction. As indicated in the original challenge post listed below - In the event of a tie on any one of the 3 questions, the one who post the correct forecast FIRST will win the prize for that question. Prize: 5 Extra Entries to the March 2019 contest.

GOLDEN TICKET NO WINNER - a Bonus prize was announced - if one individual beat out the other players by winning 2 or more of the Challenge questions - that individual would be provided a "Golden Ticket" to pick the Entry of their choice to automatically make it to the Top 20 Finalist - since no member won 2 or more of the questions this round, this prize was not awarded.

REFERENCE: Post # 384 (on Page # 16) - a copy is below.

*** GOLDEN TICKET / WEEKLY CHALLENGE QUESTIONS ***

So this afternoon I came up (3) Challenge Questions for this week's activities.

All are welcome to play - simply Post your answers to the following (3) questions by Noon Tuesday 19th.

What are your predictions for the following (3) questions?

How many Qualified Entries for this month's contest will we have by Noon Saturday 23rd? [Helpful Hint: we had 238 Qualified Entries as of yesterday, Noon Saturday 16th]
How many Page Views for this month's contest will we have by Noon Saturday 23rd? [Helpful Hint: we had 11,103 page Views as of yesterday, Noon Saturday 16th]
How many Brave Members will join this week's Challenge Questions by Noon Tuesday 19th?. (this is a tricky one - keep in mind a tie goes to the 1st individual to post their predictions on this thread for this question) YIKES! An early entry might give you the edge on this one. Then again, maybe not. [Helpful Hint: we had 3 brave Members try their luck with last week's Challenge Questions. I anticipate quite a few more trying their luck with this week's questions]

To Enter - Post your predictions in this thread by Noon Tuesday 19th to be eligible to play our little side challenge. YOU may be a WINNER! (the most recent tallies were posted yesterday morning with the "238" Pink Ball -- please see earlier Post # 351 to help base your predictions)

The Selection - we will use the ageless "Price is Right" model for selecting the winner(s) - a winner will be selected for EACH of the (3) questions - so there may be up to 3 winners - a winner will be selected who comes closest to the actual number WITHOUT GOING OVER for each of the (3) individual questions. In the event of a tie on any one of the 3 questions, the one who post the correct forecast FIRST will win the prize for that question.

The Prize(s) - the prize for each of the (3) questions - you will be allowed to submit an additional (5) entries to the March 2019 Hand Reg Contest. And each participant can potentially win multiple forecast predictions if their Crystal Ball shines bright.

The GOLDEN TICKET - and yes there's more - as a Bonus - if one of you wins 2 or more of the Challenge Questions this week you will receive a GOLDEN TICKET to the Top 21 Finalist Round for the Entry pick of your choice. If a Golden Ticket is awarded, we will increase the Top 21 Finalist count to the Top 22 Finalist. Thank You for your participation in our 2nd set of Challenge Questions. Best of Luck! See you on Saturday 23rd for the results.

Enjoy!.

@BrandCougar

Very very nice job here!

You took a simple fun contest idea and multiplied the fun in a huge way with additional add on "guess the # of participants, views, etc. contests" and the spotlight addition etc..

Now you got me wanting to try my luck here, even there are only 7 days left in this months contest which means only 1/4 of the potential views/likes. Makes me debate whether i should have waited to enter the contest at the beginning of the next month if you choose to continue this. Being on first few pages in the first week of the month would naturally have many more views which translate into likes.

If I could just add one suggestion to you for maybe the next contest, maybe take 2 or 3 of the most liked domains from the first week, double that to 4 or 6 in 2nd week of entries, and maybe double that 8 or 12 at months end which could translate into a more even distribution of domains throughout the entire month since anyone entering today or later (last week possible) loses out on those 17,000 Views (at this time) and would be entering at a disadvantage when it comes to potential likes. This is only my opinion to possibly get more entries all the way up to the end of contest that may be some pretty good hand-reg's.

Really awesome job here though.
Thanks!!!
