What happens when someone duplicates you?


I'd like to know this as well ... I picked yesterday and then came back today to see someone picked the same # without checking the report first ...


Another drawing is conducted between the people who selected it, it is not first to select it wins automatically.

Instructions as I see it...

1. Between the 1st and 7th day of each month.  Have a paid Team Membership
2. Go to Monthly Contest Report thread, view report and map, pick a number (between 1-2000) that has not been chosen by another team member (a white square).  This is for best odds...
3. Post that number one single time in the monthly Contest thread (a separate thread), do not post your number in the 'Report' thread as it will not be automatically counted and registered.
4. Each Team Member (TM) gets to post one number of their choice, but only one, posting multiple times will result in TM being disqualified. Editing the post with your number in it will result in disqualification,
5. Around the 7th of each month a winning number will be chosen.  If two or more TMs have chosen the same number a draw off between those TMs will begin, until a winner is determined.

Does this sound about right?

Seems pretty spot-on to me. Just felt the need to highlight the one that's missed that I laugh at the most. The man gives away an awesome (not exactly cheap, either) piece of hardware every month and some won't even put-up the $24 for a Team Membership. Their loss.

Man,

If one of you win using 872 (my badge number and the only number I pick each month, I'm gonna be really pissed!

Then again, I'll laugh at those of you who don't know how to check your number to see if you have been duped...

However, if you dupe, you should go ahead and edit your post to disqualify yourself.

More than 1000 numbers remaining and I got duped.

I pick the same number every month.



I got in clean on page two.  Some (insert profanity here) so & so picked my number 24 pages later.



Ya think if he could have checked




Oh well, I already won a gun this year.  The chances of winning another one are somewhere between slim and none.

Are there additional rules about posting in the contest thread (not the report thread)?  For instance can posts only be made with the sole purpose of posting one's number, i.e. that poststh must only contain a number selection and no other comments, and that second and third posts made by members who have previously posted their number selection, even if those posts do not contain a number, will disqualify that member?

If I experienced a software malfunction & got a doubletap, I would let it ride.  They would see that  you duped yourself and the posts were made nearly simultaneously and therefore it would not disqualify you.

The report has a "double tap" detector (which only flags multiple posts with the exact same content.)

These people duplicating numbers is only getting worse each time, yet there are plenty of open numbers for them.
