So, what does this tell us for future bash planning?

maxwell_smart007 · Feb 26, 2013

In terms of entries for contests where making something is required:

Intermediate - 49 entries
Casting - 41
Beginner - 23
Youth - 22
Beautiful pen - 21
Russ Fairfield - 21
Frankenpen - 13
Freestyle - 12

That being said - I think the Frankenpen thread was the one that I looked at the most on that list...so I'm not sure entries equates to Bash Fever!

mbroberg · Feb 26, 2013

Only 12 entered Freestyle. I wonder if that is the result of the introduction of the Advanced. Curtis would you have the number of entries into last years Freestyle or did Al Qaeda destroy them?

MesquiteMan · Feb 26, 2013

All data from previous contests are gone. For one, a lot of the contests in previous years did NOT use the form so there was not data collected and those that did were lost when we wiped that site clean due to the hacking attempt. That is why I posted the synopsis here this year so that we have the data even if something happens on the form server.

Last year there were 13: http://www.penturners.org/forum/f170/freestyle-results-94279/

Always good to keep files in more than one location---in case of terrorism, fire or another undefined threat!!

Can you easily find out how many individuals that 261 represents?

(Count those who entered multiple contests as only ONE person??)

Yep, will try to do that this evening. Any other data points you would like? I could break it down by state or country if that would interest anyone.

If your database will sort by name, in alphabetical order, it should be real easy. I really am not trying to make work for you---last year one guy won 8 prizes, just wondering how many of these guys enter everything on the "shotgun" theory (bound to hit something).

ed4copies · Feb 27, 2013

Relevant to the conversation about "level"---how many people entered a pen in the Advanced and/or freestyle and also in the "intermediate"? In other words, how many "classified" themselves in BOTH categories?

MesquiteMan · Feb 27, 2013

Ed,

I hope my reply did not sound smart assed. It was not intended to be. I would be more than happy to try to get any data point that anyone wants. That is one of the purposes of doing the form. I don't mind at all.

Heck, if anyone wants, I can post the IAP names of every entrant for each contest. I don't believe that would be a violation of IAP's Privacy Policy. Can't share personal data of course.

mredburn · Feb 27, 2013

Interesting thought Ed. If they entered in both the advanced and intermediate were they Advance turners just stooping low or intermediate level turners that had nothing to lose by entering a pen in the advanced catagories.

MesquiteMan · Feb 27, 2013

There were 128 unique entrants in all of the contests using the form with the exception of the Daily Puzzler. Those were excluded for obvious reasons.

**Like the federal government, I have revised the number downward! There was a duplicate with misspelling on the list

Absolutely not, Curtis!! Your reply was taken as written. I just want to be clear about what I hope to learn from this and give a little of the background of why I believe some have "jumped categories" in the past.

To be honest, I never thought a penmaker was limited to ONE category. I believe I am an intermediate level penmaker. I can compete with other guys making kit pens, pretty favorably. BUT, I did not realize that would mean I could NOT enter a "beautiful" pen. The rules allow kit parts. Or a "modified" pen---I could engineer a rather interesting pen---does that make me ineligible for the "intermediate"??

All stuff I have not known, in the past. Maybe there are others who are equally "ambi-classical"!!

Regarding the first entry:

There are 134 names there, if my printer did not miss any.

And we said there were 261 entries. or an average of a modicum under TWO entries per person. One casting, one pen?? Two castings? Two photos?? etc.

I guess this makes sense. However, as we strive to improve "participation", it is meaningful that REALLY 134 are participating!! Out of a couple thousand who cruise the site in a week.

Good??

Bad??

How to improve???

Certainly informative-----THANK YOU, Curtis!!!

Regarding the second list:

IT CUT AND PASTED INTO EXCEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bananen_smilies051:

Where did you come up with 134 names? My list has 128 unique names. Am I missing something?

MesquiteMan · Feb 27, 2013

And just FYI, Mike Broberg, I ran your Do Not Bash list against the entrants and I am pleased to say that none of the contests that used the form received any entries for the bad eggs!

ed4copies · Feb 27, 2013

I have to finish the auctions, I will look at the printed sheet and see if it printed some more than once, back in a while!

Yes, it did repeat a couple names as it moved from one page to the next. Your count is, undoubtedly correct.

This is really very interesting. It's going to take me awhile to digest it all. Looking forward to seeing Ed's dissection of the data.

Thanks for all of your work on this Curtis!!

Attached is a spreadsheet with almost all of the data for all of the entries received via the entry form. I have gone in a deleted any personal data that is not already required in the user profile in order to comply with IAP's Privacy Policy. This spreadsheet also includes links to the photos for each submission. If anyone ends up wanting to post some of the photos on IAP, let me know and I can add the image tags to the URL field so that all you will have to do is copy and paste into a thread! No need to upload any of the photos or even use the image button in a post.

Let me know if there is a better way for me to provide the data and I will do what I can.

Brooks803 · Feb 27, 2013

Curtis, I've noticed a couple oddities with some of the stats. On the list of usernames and contests entered the casting contests weren't shown at all.

Also, on the number of participants per state SC had 3 individuals (myself included) that entered a contest. Hewunch (frankenpen) and Serenitywoodworks (advanced, intermediate) are the others.

MesquiteMan · Feb 27, 2013

Looks like it works! If anyone wants this, please let me know. I have an Excel utility that allows me to add any text to the beginning and end of a cell so it is literally, one click to do the entire spreadsheet! I wish I would have thought of this when I sent the individual contest spreadsheets to the contest chairs! I could have made their life easier! Sorry guys!

You are correct on the list of PEN contests above not showing the casting contest. It also did not show the photo contest. I provided this data since these were pen making contests rather than casting contests and Ed and others wanted to be able to determine who enter multiple experience level contests. Casting did not have a skill level requirement.

The SC may be off because someone entered their state in a manner other than the standard state abbreviation. Some folks spelled out the state name, some did it such as sc. instead of SC, etc. I waded through it as much as I had time for but in the end, if I overlooked one, and it still showed sc., it did not get counted. I just don't have enough time to go through every entry to see if folks did it right to get data accuracy to the nth degree! I doubt many on the planning group even care, I just tossed it up there for the heck of it!

MesquiteMan · Feb 27, 2013

Jonathon,

I just went and looked the at the raw data and sure enough, your entry spelled out South Carolina rather than using the state abbreviation as it would be used for a mailing address. Of course, those who did this are going to cause more work for the prize folks since they will have the manually change it from the spelled out name to the postal abbreviation since that was the reasoning for requesting the address info in the first place! Shame on you!:biggrin::biggrin:

Would it be possible to use a drop down menu for states/countries next year?

You big trouble maker you! If you did win, you would have caused Ed or whomever, and extra 3 seconds in processing the shipping info. Shame on you!

Doing a drop down WOULD be possible but VERY time consuming. The software does not have a list already populated so I would have to make a list manually. It would not be an issue for US states but when you get into international and all the variable there as well as countries, it is probably more time than I am willing to commit! Between creating the forms and maintaining the form website as well as running the Puzzle contest this year, I have already spent many hours a day every day on the bash and unfortunately, time is not unlimited! I am in no way complaining but I am not sure I will have any more time to spare for next year!

Bob Wemm · Feb 28, 2013

I think 134/128 participants out of many thousands is pretty poor and dissappointing, there is definitely a need to improve these numbers somehow.
Counting the STRICTLY pen entries there are only 202 pens entered. It cost nothing to enter only a couple of photographs so there has to be another reason for the non-participation of so many members.

Just my humble opinion.
Bob.

Monty · Feb 28, 2013

Curtis, There were 10 entries in the Embedded casting contest. Somehow my original entry form didn't make it in.

In terms of entries for contests where making something is required:

Intermediate - 49 entries
Casting - 41
Beginner - 23
Youth - 22
Beautiful pen - 21
Russ Fairfield - 21
Frankenpen - 13
Freestyle - 12

That being said - I think the Frankenpen thread was the one that I looked at the most on that list...so I'm not sure entries equates to Bash Fever!

mbroberg said:
Only 12 entered Freestyle. I wonder if that is the result of the introduction of the Advanced. Curtis would you have the number of entries into last years Freestyle or did Al Qaeda destroy them?

The stats are a bit out of alignment in my contests as there were a few "double" entries and a few that were ineligible. Overall they are fairlt accurate, I just wanted to be clear why the final numbers did not reflect always equal to my entry posts.

Unfortunately, the data is only as good as the input. I asked for any duplicates or DQ entries to be e-mailed to me so I could delete them from the database. I would guess that either you sent the e-mail and I missed it or the info did not get to me.

The list of unique entrants should not have any duplicates on it though.

Displaced Canadian · Feb 28, 2013

I'm not sure 134/128 participants is that bad. The times the discussion had come up about active participation we see out of 11,000 members only few/several hundred are very active. Maybe a way to get more people to participate in the bash is instead of more contests have more prizes for each contest.
