- Then, anyone wishing to enter clicks on a special link in their profile - and it generates a random number - which becomes their entry!
- However, to increase your chances - you get to have 1 entry a week! So you click on the link once a week to get another entry - getting a total of 4 entries per month.
- Then at the end of the month - whoever's entry is the closest to the original number, wins!
To make it even more exciting, there will be a few 'bonus' entry days - where I will post a thread a few times a month saying TODAY IS A BONUS ENTRY DAY! ...which will permit you click on your special link to get a bonus entry
Everyone's entries will show on the competition page too - so you can track each other's progress and 'chances'. Entries will be IP checked - so no duplicate accounts will be allowed.
I like this idea because:
- It's purely down to chance
- It gets people to log-on at least once a week
- It encourages people to check Dogsey daily for a bonus 'day'
- As it is all automated, there is less room for mistakes and will also take less time to organise and maintain
- Having the same competition every month makes it easier for everyone
- It's fair and transparent
