Contest Suggestion

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 21.04.2007, 19:22

This is a general suggestion for future contests ... not every contest should conform with this, but maybe some could. I am also not sure if this is a perogative for future contests or not, but its just a suggestion.

Make quality an affective part of a contest ... say a contest calls for Strawberries, for example, Q0 strawberries are worth 1 point, Q1 are worth 2 points, Q2 are worth 3 points. etc. OR have a quality barrier, saying strawberries of Q1-Q3 (where Q1 would be worth 1 point, Q2 2 points, Q3 3 points). it would add a much different element to contests, especially if the products are end products and cannot be reduced to Q0.

feedback on this would be appreciated, as it is just a suggestion

just in order to avoid any misunderstandings in this thread:
any proposals for contest products done by the players cannot be taken into consideration for future contests...

im not suggesting a PRODUCT ... (strawberries was an example)
im suggesting that multiple qualities be used at different point values for the contest. where right now, u can submit 1 Wool Q2 because it asks for Wool Q2; next contest could ask for Q2-3 PRODUCT-X (to avoid the confusion that i want a particular product.) where submitting one Q2 product-x to the company Contest gives 1 contest point, submitting one Q3 product-x gives 2 contest points ...

understand a little better?

I think it should be a hard contest like computers Q4

I know and that is the reason why my first words were: JUST IN ORDER TO AVOID ...

If one person starts to have a proposal on contests, there will be the next one having his proposal... usually it takes aprox. 3 further posts until the first product is being mentioned.... if someone honestly wants to have a specific product in a contest, he should not suggest it in advance...

EDIT: ooops, maybe I should have read the post below yours.... there were 4 further posts..... thanks @dbsuma... before making proposals you definitely should read the whole thread in future

Pls note, that I won*t reply to any contest suggestions... I will keep them in mind, but finally any contest should be totally unknown before... not only the products itself, but also the "frame" of the contest...
