Welcome to Thunderdome!!

This is Gladiator meets Thunderdome meets Hunger Games - all wrapped up in one contest.

Let's see who can win the Thunderdome contest by acquiring the best .COM hand registration with an April 2019 Creation Date? "Best" will be determined by your peers. You must create the registration during the current month of April 2019. As long as Whois indicates the domain was created in April 2019 (2019-04-XX), then the name qualifies - it could have been a name born earlier that has since died and lost its age. Let me be clear, for this contest the name has to be a new DOT COM hand registration that you own at the moment of submission with an April 2019 Creation Date. If you sell a domain post-submission, Congrats! We are going by submission date ownership.


TWENTY Domains Enter ---> ONE Champion Emerges with each Battle Round.

And the domain that Emerges as Champion with each Battle Round will go the Top 20 Championship Match.


Here are the rules of this month's April 2019 DOT COM HAND REG contest:

1. Hand registration during the current month of April 2019 (.COM only).

2. You may submit up to (7) .COM domains this month. (Each domain submitted must have its OWN Reply Post so we can track "Likes" individually per domain).

3. So if you want to submit (7) domains, submit SEVEN separate Reply posts.

4. I am excluding myself from entering the contest, since I am facilitating the event!

5. Battle Rounds – Every 20 Consecutive Entries will compete in a Battle Round. Each Battle Round will last 48 hours. It is possible we may have multiple Battle Rounds competing simultaneously depending on submission volume. In the event of a tie during a Battle Round, we will provide a Hand-to-Hand combat round to finalize matters. A summary chart will be provided outlining which Battle Rounds are currently in play and which have been completed. For those completed, it will indicate the Champion.

6. Top 20 Finalist - will be selected the following way .---> (20) Battle Round Champions will move forward to the Top 20 Championship Match - a "Champion of Champions" match up.

7. WINNER - the overall winner of the contest will be selected by your peers via a TOP 20 Championship Match containing the Top 20 Finalist mentioned above. The TOP 20 CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH will occur after month end. This match (poll) will be set to have a voting window of 72 hours.

8. 400 Entry Cap - to keep things simple, we are capping this contest at 400 Qualified Entries (20 Battle Rounds with 20 Entries in each round)

9. We welcome EVERYONE to participate in selecting the WINNER from the Top 20 Finalist list.

10. In the event of a tie during the Top 20 Championship Match, we will have a SUDDEN DEATH MATCH to declare a victor. All other domains will be cast away in a Sudden Death Match and only those that tied for 1st place will go head-to-head for victory! (a plan to avoid any misunderstand should a tie situation occur)


What do you win?
  • Number one, props and recognition here at Namepros.
  • I will personally pay $20 JACKPOT (via PayPal) to the WINNER. (seed money for the Jackpot)
  • Anyone willing to contribute $1 or $2 to the Jackpot - contact me via PM - and I will add your contribution on top of the $20 Jackpot that I have committed to (let's see how large a Jackpot we can build).

If we submit more than one entry, I think they shouldn't go both into the same battle round but each on a separated battle round so that each name can have a fair chance to the finals.

@Fadi H -

Simple solution - if you do not want two of your names to be in the same Battle Round, simply gap them yourself and enter them on separate days. There are some individuals who like the idea of strategically popping 2-3 of their entries in one round. The spacing of your submissions is your choice and provides player flexibility.

Additionally - the logistics on the back end are already labor intensive enough. Any shuffling of the deck by me will somehow be interpreted by someone as "stacking the deck" and showing favoritism.

The simplest approach is to simply qualify each submission sequentially by post # (by x-checking Dynadot Whois for Creation Date) then I simply add them sequentially to the queue for Battle Rounds (linearly & without variation on my end). FIFO.

I understand your point, but am not inclined to add extra steps into the process - and also not inclined to step into scrutiny for (perceived) shuffling to favor any one specific submission.

We have a fully transparent process with our current approach for how each Battle Round competitors list is built. No deviation and any viewer, participant, auditor type, or pastor could look at a Battle Round list and easily can x-check the submissions chronology on this thread. And every one of those individuals would arrive at the identical results. No deviation with full transparency. .

Regards,

-Cougar

ps: Another question that has been tossed to me via DM by a couple participants is "What if I am in a different time zone?" Simple answer - I use the below link to access Whois - it has been consistently applied to every submission - and each of you are welcomed to x-check your entries prior to posting them on this thread. No secret handshake or "mysterious algorithm" being used here. Just simply use the below link as your Creation Date guide. During March's contest, we had 30+ submissions that were outside the March 2019 date range. Some were waaaaaay off (didn't read instructions apparently) and a few were just on the fringe. I handled every single submission consistently to be fair to all. The 30+ that were outside the correct date range were not considered "Qualified" and were not permitted to the Finalist Pool.
