[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 741356, member: 307"]ok... after giving things some thought, here's how I figure it 1) everything will of course depend on how many entries, but all of them will have to be entered by a date set in early December (limiting the number somewhat) and keeping everything fair. 2) everyone will have to PM me their list by date [i]X[/i] and then they will post them the next day This keeps people from giving others insight (via exposing their choices) before the contest. Everyone plays on a level field using only their own expertise. 3) when people send me their lists, they will have to have itemized the list with the current price according to the website (IOW, I am not going to have to look them all up, the entrant will be required to and it will be my job to verify it afterward). 4) My list will be sent to two neutral parties by the deadline. ( I will have to follow the same rules as anyone else.) I will also post my list in the thread. The winners will be determined by me when the contest ends. Instead of then re-pricing [b]all[/b] of the lists, those who feel that they won will PM me, and ask me to check their entry. I will verify those who PM me, and we will post a winner as well as runners up. any other suggestions? that's what this thread will do best is explore how best to do this fairly.[/QUOTE]
