Yep. You can also email them and Tim gets those.

Hey Andrew...

I understand having to weed through the submisions and
the reason for the delay... I as just foolin around on why
he'd build our anxieties - as if they weren't high enough.

(may it didnt come across that way)

ANyways,

Best of luck to everyone!

I'm with ya on that one!

How can I send my total??

Did I miss it??

I can't PM Lee or Tim

Why can't you PM me? All point tallies MUST be PMed to me this afternoon.

Dang it, Lee! I saw you post in this thread and I thought maybe you'd announce the winners.

Gilligan, just send a PM. Enter Lee as the recipient with you point totals.

Hahahah....sorry about that!

I did get Gilligan's PM finally.

Can we get a estimate of 'official announcement time' when the winners will be posted please please with sugar on top?

Thursday night? Friday? Monday?

Waiting til Monday would kill me I think.

I'd think Mon/Tues is a more realistic timeframe.
Most have no idea the amount of backend work, a contest like this involves.

Plus remember, they're running checks for original content too.

If the admins come back early, it's a bonus, else go work on your other campaigns, cos it's all out of your hands now, folks...

Don't get me wrong, I know it is a lot of work, but they only have to check the points of the top 5 contenders. If one of the top 5 gets disqualified, number 6 takes their place and so on. They don't have to do original content checks on 200 or 300 people.

I agree entirely.

It would still be nice to hear from the admins though on when they think they'll have it figured out.

I'm off to bed, maybe I'll have some good news waiting in the morning.

The earliest announcement would be late tomorrow afternoon. Monday afternoon is probably more likely. No need to check over the weekend.

I promise that we are not delaying the winners announcement on purpose. It just takes some time to review everything.

cool thanks for letting us know... any change on an estimate number of points you should be over? LOL so if someone submitted lets say 5000 points would they need tobe higher than that to even be considered? just wondering....

I'm probably pushing it a little, but it doesnt hurt to ask!!!!

Love the competition, thanks for working so hard on getting the results to us all!

I hope 300,000 points is enough!!!

LOL well at least im ahead of Tamar & Sizzler

:coo l:

You guys are slackers. 2 million points? Whadija write 10,000 measly articles in 1 month? LOL..all you could muster in a 24 hour period is 300 articles? And you say you want a macbook air, yah right.

I, on the otherhand, wrote 1 article per minute every day since the contest was announced (although I did fall asleep once for 15 minutes) ...I don't think thats quite enough to win, though.
