I will have to adjust the bracket setup according to how many enter. One way or another we will have a contest.

Ideally, the # of entries needs to be a power of 2.... 16 is next. We may cut it off there since 32 was obviously over-ambitious. At this point 16 may be too.

what about adding some kind of pride incentive for more people to join...

maybe for any handicapping contest that someone wins, the rx could add a little trophy icon or some tagline that shows that the person won the contest?

or maybe under posts or someting we could add: RX accomplishments or something....and then show something for anyone who finishes top 3 in a contest? doesnt matter to me, but I know some focus on green bars and whatnot, and having something that shows you won/cashed in a contest might be something that would create more interest? maybe not worth the hassle.....just a random thought....

and thanks as always JOH and RX

Any ideas on how to promote this on other Forums?

Are there any you're aware of that would allow such a thing?

At all?

Or would the posts just get deleted?

I've had this question in general re: all of our contests cuz if ya'll know of Forums that would not object to making people aware of our contests then I would post in those forums.

What other ideas have been kicked around on how we can make people aware of Rx Contests?

Something needs to be done to grow the contests here as opposed to just doing nothing to accomplish this, instead of just continuing to make no effort whatsoever to make people aware these contests exist.

Best incentive would be Winner gets to come out spend a week with you surfing in LA. All Expenses Paid, of course.

I do like the recognition proposal though. There should definitely be SBR Type Icons signifying contest winners.

Because if there were such things, these little Icons at the bottom of guys posts like "Signature" type deals

Users would see those over an over and over get them implanted in their brains which would lead to more participation in contests

which would then lead to JOH who we are so blessed to have run these contests's Life not being complicated by Low Turnout for Contests.


There are potential answers.

Things that can be tried.


That might very well work great.

sounds like a plan since I intend to win!!

in all seriousness I have plenty of boards and wetsuits and the good old pacific ocean is always open for business so hit me up if ever in the south bay!

good luck all.....let's see if we can find some more posters to get in this thing!!
