Tuesday/Wednesday Mini Promotions - Sports Related

[wsnyyankees2009]

While I do like this idea (and love the effort put into it) contests like these become simple after one person gets it right.

I will pay on this contest - but with a small catch.

 - The people who guessed the answers prior to someone getting them all right the cent per correct answer they gave.
 - I will give the first person who gets it right the full 15 cents.
 - The people who post the answer after that I will give out 3 cents per. (up to number 40)

KOHLER, YOU NEVER CEASE TO SURPRISE/AMAZE!!

I have no idea, and wouldn't......even if nobody posted the answers.  I'll sit this one out on the bench.

Hey Kohler, thanks for your stamp of approval, and for the rule revisions to make it better. I have forwarded all the correct answers to you in a support ticket, so you can grade accordingly, and award the prizes. Let me know if you have any questions.

Good Luck everyone - Kohler's in charge!

Hey, Kohler, Maybe you should make one of the bonuses be for us to come up with ideas for you, for both the Tuesday and Saturday mini promos. Just a thought!

Funny you should say that, jorhea! I was just talking to my wife about this today. Instead of resting the entire burden of posting contests on Kohler, perhaps Kohler could set up a "waiting list" of people interested in posting a contest. And then working from the top to the bottom of the list, people take turns. Naturally, the person running the contest should be entitled to the full prize, whatever that'd be. And Kohler could set up a budget for how much to be awarded for the contest, so we don't all break Kohler's bank account in the process.

I think you'd find a lot of people willing to participate in something like this, and there would be a vast amount of variety, too, in types of contests presented. I think as long as we keep Tuesday about SPORTS, we'd be good. And whatever the theme is for Saturday, same thing.

I'm with you jorhea, and hope Kohler agrees. He seems flexible enough to consider it.

Sorry, I'm going to have to disagree.  While I understand it may become burdensome for Kohler to always get here on Tuesday, I like his contest "forms".  It's easier when he give us a choice of one or the other on the submit form link.

Just my 2 cents.  I'd rather have Kohler than anybody else.

Yeah, Annella, I totally agree with your take on things, too. I love the "forms", too. Much easier to go to one place, and submit your answers. I myself would have used them for this promo as well, if I only knew how to use them. But I'm sure it's something that's easy to learn if taught, or pointed in the right direction. In fact, if Kohler wanted to diversify the effort to others, he could both teach us on the use of them, and insist they be used for anyone wanting to participate.

I applaud your loyalty to Kohler, though. I share it as well, which is why I stepped in to help. Figured an emergency came up last week that affected his being able to get here on time (according to many of us's expectations), and perhaps that was the situation this week as well. Having a few extra hands willing to step in from time to time, would alleviate any need to apologize for an absence - not that one is ever needed or required.

I thought if Kohler liked the idea, he could somehow get ideas submitted to him and he could run them with the forms as he has been doing. It would just save him having to come up with all the ideas all the time. I'm sure it would be nice for Kohler to be able to just post the form instead of having to think it up every week. I can see where that would get challenging after awhile.
