UPDATE:: WEEK 10: Member with the most points for this week wins the week #10 spot. See below for point details!

The time has come for the R2R Forum Challenge! The rules and how the contest will go as is follows:

Contest Start: Feb. 1st @ 12am Eastern (each week starts over at 12am est.)
Length of contest: 12 WEEKS
Number of Qualifiers: 12 (One per each week. Points will start over at the beginning of each contest week. Each member can only qualify once.)
Winners: Each qualifier will win a prize. (We will draw for the Grand Prize from the group of 12 and then so on until all prizes are gone. One prize per qualifier)
To Qualify: Member with the top point total for each week will be that weeks qualifier.

Ok so I guess you're wondering how to get points? Here goes the point breakdown.
You will receive points for certain task. These points are automatically added by the contest software I have so there is no room for human error. Here is a list of how to earn points.

Every time you post you will receive 10 points. (minimum of 50 characters to be counted and yes the software knows if it is 50 or not)

If you start a thread that is decided to be "STICKY WORTHY" you will be given 250 points for the week the thread has been started. If you wish for your thread to be considered for this you must contact skinz78 with a link to your thread via PM during the week that you have started your thread. The R2R Team will then decide if your thread is "STICKY WORTHY". Entry's for this portion of the contest will be cut off on the Sunday of the week to give the R2R staff time to decide on what is "sticky worthy".

Every time you refer a person and they add your exact member name to the registration process you will receive 50 points. (new member must have at least 5 post for your points to add in. Also if we detect that you have created new accounts in order to "cheat" then you will be disqualified instantly and put on R2R probation. Sounds harsh I know but people try to cheat)

For every thread you post to you will receive 10 points. (this only counts one time per each thread and still needs a minimum of 50 characters)

For every forum you post too you will receive 10 points. (this only counts one time per forum and still needs a minimum of 50 characters)

For every thread you start you will receive 20 points. (you need a minimum of 50 characters to count)

Note: If we see threads and post that are worthless they will be deleted. Also offenders will be disqualified. Also note that their are certain forums that will not count any points for post or threads no matter what. These are the selling, trading, ID, sponsor, feedback, giveaway, lounge, and club forums. These will not count!

PLEASE note that it doesn't matter how many post and so on you have now. The contest starts everyone fresh no matter if you have 1 post or 1000 post before the contest starts. Everyone has an equal chance!

Ok so now for the prizes and awesome sponsors of each prize!

1. Grand Prize Sponsored by REEF2REEF is a 150G Marineland Deep Dimension Aquarium, Stand, and Canopy.

I'm working on it. One nice thing about being a part-time house dad is I am near the computer often. :D

BTK.. HOLY POOP 600+ posts and you didn't get it? Am I missing something.. how did you not win that qualifier?? I'm at something like 50+ posts today... but not sure if that momentum is going to last as I refuse to dish out crud... and I ain't that creative to start new threads! :xd:

Yeah, I don't know how I didn't make it, haha. People just posted more than me I guess :) I'll be honest, the only thing that I'm interested in for the giveaway right now are the LEDs :) I am excited to see what everyone wins though, it'll be fun to watch, even if I'm not a part of it.

I just bought a 200DD, have a huge skimmer, doing fish only, so no need for corals, haha. I'm still gonna give you a run for your money this week. I'm in IT, so I'm on the computer ALL DAY, EVERYDAY.

Haha, I don't expect to get qualified but I'm having fun trying and learning a lot. I also enjoy teaching others

With three spots left I am pretty sure you're going to get qualified. I'm still wondering if I will be at this rate.. I hadn't realized who was still out there and what their post numbers were like. I heard 600+ and was like :eek:oh: ! I do find it fun to read all the posts out there, lately it's reminded me a lot of these past eight years reefing. :)
