Once you have checked in start a thread with an outline or rules of the contest(s)
your running so we can discuss anything we need to or make suggestions.
I want to post the final drafts of the rules on July 1st.
You will need to have the entries emailed to you, you should respond to each entry letting them know you received your entry.

Ok Mike, kitless it is for me.
I would differentiate kitless from the "slimline - unlimited" contest by
1) having a better looking chairman than "slimline - unlimited"
2) not allowing 7mm twist mechanisms for kitless
I'm not sure what Jonathon has in mind for "Advanced Pen". How do we differentiate "Kitless - any kind of pen but slimline" from "Advanced Pen"?

Aadvance will be based on kits. Depending on how Johnathon structures it, it could be any type pen or the roller ball/fountain pen using some or all of a kit to build the pen.
You must have missed the part about me running the Slimline - Unlimited.
Got to say, though, I'm really looking forward to the Kitless Contest this year.:sleepy::sleepy:

Finally found the thread.....I'm slow but efficient!
I'll get the rules posted ASAP as soon as you let me know which contest you want me to handle. Can they be the same outline for rules as the ones from the BASH?
Thanks~

Take the Ball Point contest.
The rules outline from the bash are fine.
The rules outline from the bash are fine.
I will handle casting and the youth program.
I would like everyone to have their contest formed and posted by the 21st for review. When you have time review the other contests and check them over. Let us know your opinions. I want to post them in the public July 1st for open discussion prior to the August kick off.

Right now I'm thinking of requiring that at least 1 component of the kit be eliminated and they must use at least 2 total components. I'm hoping to sit down and hash out finer details this weekend.
Mike. What's the scheduling looking like for the contests? Everything begins Aug 1st with around 3 weeks to complete with a week for voting? I'm assuming we have to keep things anonymous throughout and public voting for winners?
Here is a link to the Universal Contest Rules each of you can put in your contests

Yes Thats pretty much It. August First is a Saturday, we can shut them down on the 23rd which is A sunday and have a week to post and run the polls. Polls will only be 3 days long. So even Run off polls if we have them will still wrap up by the end of the month.
Jeff has created an SE Forum for us when we are ready to move the contests to the public arena. Please take a moment to review yours and the other contests. Spelling checks, dates, other errors or comment on the contest if you have a suggestion or question.

Well....those slimline contest rules are loaded with all sorts of things that might be considered an "error" in other contests...but I think it's all part of the charm of a Derek Contest. We just need to recognize that he's from SOUTH Dakota and not North Dakota and have realistic expectations about this whole "error" thing. :biggrin:
On a more serious note, people may want to include some direction on picture size in their rules if they want to avoid having to resize everything they get. The forum limits for jpg are 960 x 960 pixels dimensions and 1 MB file size.

Took me a while, but I'm finally here

Be prepared to move your contest rules to the public on July 1st. If you want me to be able to moderate them then use the Activities Forum. If it doesnt matter use Casual Conversation Forum. If there is a scheduling problem let me know and I can move them for you.

Hi Mike - Your latest message said to move our rules to the activities forum (for your moderation) or to casual conversation (if no moderation wanted / needed). What's the SE Forum you referred to in this post? Wouldn't it be easier if all the contests were in one place so Jeff could put up a link on the front page?
Ed
I was thinking that we would use the SE Forum for just the contests and polls. It may be just as easy to post the discussions there also so the whole thing could be tracked easily.
Here is the link to the SE Forum
http://www.penturners.org/forum/f299/
I will let Jeff know we want to take it active July 1st

Jeff will be creationg a public Forum for the SE shortly are there any rule changes that need to be updated before we post them in the public Forum?
My mistake we will be using the current Forum where the rules are posted now.
Ed McDonnell

So, if we don't have any changes to our rules we don't have to make a new post of the rules? We can just go with the one we already have out there?

You should not have to start another one. I will add the prizes to them shortly.
