  • Hiya, this is a question to the regular compers. As I write it, I feel myself cringe because it is probably one of those stupid newbie questions that you are sick to the back teeth (is that even a saying?!) of reading. If, for example, you entered roughly around 500 comps a week (including small & big ones) how many prizes on average would you like to think you would get aa month from that?

    I know you can not expect to win, but just in average.

    Thanking you in advance. Also, apologies for the cringeworthy question!

    No cringing Jemma

    That's about what I enter and I win probably a couple of comps a week, on average (if you exclude September when all I won was a bl**dy Crunchie!)

    I agree with everything that has been said about the regular comps

    since I have started logging the regular comps into my own database it's made me realize how disorganized and disjointed the regular comps board is

    regular comps with different prizes every month are not updated because they are locked

    regular comps with new questions are not updated because they are locked

    there are numerous regular comps posted on the main board as well as on the regular board

    some of the regular comp sites are no longer current and some have had no new comps on them for about 5-6 years but they have not been sent to go

    some weekly and monthly comps are listed as dailies even though there is only 1 prize per week or per month etc (I know that you can enter them every day but are they really dailies if there is no daily prize)

    I'm sure there must be a good reason why the regular comps are kept separate but I feel that it would be better if they where integrated into the main board so that it would be easier to keep them up to date and under control

    I asked a question regarding the "Regulars" section of this forum on this thread because I was slighlty confused. I also asked in the site feedback section of the forum but nobody from the MSE team has replied. Does anyone know the definitive answer to what should and shouldn't be in the Regulars section or where I can find a sticky telling me about it? The only information I could find was in the guide:

    "Regular Competitions is a sub forum of Competitions Time & is where you will find comps that can be entered on a regular basis, quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily etc. There are regularly updated threads for the Daily Entry comps & also the Weekly Entry comps, which is a sticky thread at the top of the Regular Competitions Forum & maintained by a volunteer MSE Comper."

    Thanks

    I'm so sorry if I'm wrong here, but it seems to me that a lot of questions do not seem to get answered by the MSE team.

    I ask myself, if it is really worth asking the question in the first place... :confused:

    Would like to add... Well done to Gilla :A in maintaining the daily/weekly/monthly threads on the comps board.. :beer:
    ................................... MSE MARTIN LEWIS ... :A ... THANK YOU.......................
