Any duplicated entries will remove both your entries from the contest.

How can we be sure we've entered?

[jwirecom109]

After you enter the contest it will pop up a message saying you have entered.

Due to the amount of entries we get, we can't go through each one on a person to person basis to ensure

1. you entered
2. you did not duplicated your entries.

I am sorry but it was part of the rules.

[jwirecom109]

To Further this all entries are assigned a number (done in order of entry ) and in the end that number is ran through random.org for the winner number.
For me to delete an entry if there was two, and one of the ones i possibly deleted was the one that was removed it could be unfair.
How can i judge what of 2 or 3 or 4 entries i should keep and which to remove?

We laid out the rules to ensure fairness to all members

[awndray]

While I understand and agree with the rules, I feel it's a shame there is no flag of some sort in my profile, a subscription notice or a message in my inbox to confirm my entry. I participate in many discussion on many forums of many types. I tend remember details. I have the memory of an elephant. Having said that, I'm also human.

[jwirecom109]

I will speak to our technical team and see if there is anything we can do in the future.

Its a good idea.

[Mass-effect]

Just thinking out loud, perhaps if upon receipt of our entry we were sent a PM? In the PM you could say something like "save this message as proof of entry".
Might be easier than rigging up a new system

[jwirecom109]

Yep might be something we can do, it will take some time to look into it, we will try to have something better rigged up for the next set of giveaways

[Strewth]

I remember...because I posted in the thread after I entered...I think you guys should enter, just to be sure

FYI fellow Albertans. Answering 'unfortunately' in the random question box prevents entry.

How does the referral entry work? Is it automatic?

Referral Entry is not automatic.
How it is broken down:
1. You referral must enter your name when they sign up for GOC
2. After they sign up using you as a referral, you need to add a second entry into the contest, and in the place of "none" you add the person's call sign they used to sign up for the forum with.

You can see how many referrals you have by checking your profile and checking about me, it does not list the names of people you have referred though.

[Mass-effect]

This is going to take forever lol

[jwirecom109]

start inviting friends and get them to invite friends.

You get an addition entry and it gets us one step closer

[Mass-effect]

Ah, if only I had friends......lol
