Hand Registration Contest - March 2019 - DOT COM only

[BrandCougar]

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

Hello @BrandCougar ,
I want give you one big THANK YOU for the amazing job this month and for all efforts and time that you invest in this contest.
Great job really.

....and one correction, it's not so important but the name D/u/e/l/L/a/b is with "s" in the end, i mean it is "labs".

@mrm_1 -

Thanks for the positive feedback.

Also, thanks for bringing to my attention the "s" was omitted on DuelLabs in the Poll Choices List.

Unfortunately I am unable to Edit the choices in the poll now that the poll is LIVE, however, I have send an email to Eric (NPros) to ask if he could make the correction as a site Admin.

>> and one correction, it's not so important but the name D/u/e/l/L/a/b is with "s" in the end, i mean it is "labs".

My apologies. When cutting & pasting the entries from my spreadsheet to the poll choice list, I somehow missed and didn't drag the mouse over the entire base word before typing in the "(dot com)" on the end.

I am hopeful Eric can fix this for us.

Hey Cougar,

Congratulations on your achievement. Perhaps 25% of the next prize, should be awarded to the CH, to cover coffee expenses at least

Are we allowed to share how we voted?

Anyway, I just voted, I struggled with the 3rd vote. 1 & 2 are were easy. Clear winner, at least in my view.

Great stuff..

>> Are we allowed to share how we voted?

@MS-Domains -

My thoughts are sort of split...

- I like the strategy of individuals sharing their voting approach or selection technique on the thread, but am not so keen on individual's posting their personal selections as I feel it is viewed as lobbying.

- Sort of like when you go to vote in a local election. If asked, I don't mind sharing which topics are of concern to me with others as we go to vote, but I am not one to stand at the voting booth and shout out which candidate choices I personally voted for (as I feel that process or topic sharing is one thing, but direct candidate lobbying while in line at the voting booth for a specific choice is not so welcoming).

- I do recognize (similar to local public figure elections) that many are passionate about their choices and them sharing their personal choice outside of the voting area is fine by me. 1st amendment right and all that. But directly at the voting booth... I don't get a warm & fuzzy when it becomes candidate lobbying directly at the polls.

How - Yes.
Who - No.

I hope the differentiation makes sense and is a fair response. I am all in favor of knowledge sharing, but am not a fan of candidate lobbying.

Hi Cougar,

Understood! Thanks for the elaborate response.

Great contest and I submitted my votes which was hard because my favorites were left out. Find it incredibly interesting that two and even three generic words dominate this list with only a few actual what I consider brandables. Interesting to see how people’s taste runs. @BrandCougar handled everything like a gentleman and a scholar from start to finish. You are made for this

 

[WatchDogue]

The final list of domains presented a challenge to evaluate and was pleased to be able to cast three votes to help determine the eventual winner.

Best contest wishes to all contestants and Big Thanks to all entrants for the opportunity to view and consider your entry.

And Big Thanks too to BrandCougar for this intriguing thread and contest!

Basically voted for names that IF I was searching for " that topic " or was otherwise interested in that topic and saw those domain names, I would believe they very well represented their respective topic and I would click away to view their website.

Happy to have two entries in the final selection (SelfEffects / Stadir). Both clearly not in the race for top glory, but I'm satisfied with my participation overall. Several of my other entries got recognition from the panel as well. Learning and earning.

Glad I could contribute to the winners JackPot, and I wish everyone good luck.

 

[EbookLover]

I just noticed that NP decided to put the poll in the sidebar of the forum. The contest should get a lot more votes this way.

 

[namemarket]

There should have been an option saying "none of the above"

Sorry, I did not vote because I really don't like any of the finaiists.

Good news.

Eric Lyon (NamePros) responded to my DM this afternoon and as a site Admin was able to to make the correction of DuelLabs for us on the poll.

Thanks again for bringing it to my attention.

And.. Thanks @Eric Lyon for helping out!

It's great to see our Contest Poll get homepage visibility on NamePros.

First, huge thanks for @BrandCougar

Amazing example of community service!

Second, no need for negativity! No, it shouldn't have "none of the above". If it is that, just don't vote, as that option won't affect the winner anyway. No one expecting to find insurance.com in the hand reg. These are 20 that received the highest of the submitted and it is what it is! You don't like it, you should have shown your best one and maybe all would have agreed with you.

 

[EbookLover]

Another thanks to @BrandCougar and also the panelists involved in this contest. It was a success and I think NP allowing the voting to be put on the sidebar above the fold shows they saw the value in it themselves.

 

[handpicked]

Voted for 3 names (the names i would love to own). Thanks @BrandCougar for giving me this privilege and fun.

I would like to list here too.

I just voted anyway because I wanted to see the results but noticed it was low in results.

Oops, too late!
By the way reading thread rules would be nice.
This was for hand reg in the month of March and it's done.
Seems your name was registered in January and wouldn't have qualified for this contest.

The finalist for the month of March are located in the voting poll.
@Mak519 ,You can contribute by voting for the 3 that you think are best.

Congrats to all the finalist and good luck!

Thanks to the participants,panelist,donators to the jackpot, and special thanks to @BrandCougar for an amazing job with this contest.
