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).

@BrandCougar Please understand that I totally appreciate your efforts with this contest. I'm just wondering about the time zone issue that disqualified a few entries including my last one.

I posted my last entry at 10:15 PM PST on April 30, 2019 and I noticed another entry not included. I also see that there are only 19 entries in Battle Round #19. So did I miss where the rules stated the time zone?

For me this isn't a huge deal because it's all in fun. I'm just a bit OCD and like to know the rules ahead of time to plan better.

Again thanks for all your time and effort with this contest.

@BradWilson -

Bottom line - I went by local time (Boston area) for the cutoff as that is what was in front of me and provided by the NamePros thread..

I have no way of knowing what timezone everyone is in, so went by the timestamp provided by NamePros posted on each post.

@AuthorityDomains -

There might be by someone else who provides one for May, but I am on a new project at the moment and won't have the time to manage another NP contest for a bit.

-Cougar
Thanks for 2 months of a great contest. I look forward to another member stepping up to run the contest in your place!

@BrandCougar ... Please think once again to stop the May Contest...
I was encouraged to prepare some new names since my SaferExpress.com won the 2nd round of April Contests.
Today, at 3nd of May, I have registered mynone best name to send to May Contest. And of course I still have some good names to be registered within this month when the contest will take place...
However, I do appreciate your hard work in 2 last contests. And so, after twice thinking then you decide not to run May contest, would you please recomend other member to do like you have done in March and April?
Thank you very much for kind understanding.

Best Regards
Sugianto Babay

>> would you please recommend other member to do like you have done in March and April?

@BabayS -

That's a decision for the member to make.

There are several individuals that have participated in both contests, that are solid domainers, and that have the logistical acumen for providing a well managed contest... the issue is a time & stamina commitment.

It would be unfair of me to post a list of trusted members I have met as it would put them on the spot (that would be unfair of me to do so).

I trust whoever picks up the reigns will do so on their own spark & desire to do so.

Just wanted to add my thanks to @BrandCougar for the energetic, innovative and professional manner that he has run the past two months of contests. I am in awe of the effort he put into this.

I also wanted to thank @Want2learn for getting the idea of a hand reg contest going with the Febraury contest.

We have now seen 3 months of com hand reg contests with 3 different methods of selecting finalists. It might not be a bad thing to have a month without a contest allowing time to discuss ideas on selection process, rules (e.g. do we want it always hand reg and only .com), prizes and sponsorships, etc.

But mainly I just wanted to say huge thanks!
