    Can anyone advise me about this post as just remembered weeklies with end date have to be set as each draw for people who work on comp ending date but I won't be around to do that next week and not great at remembering to change it so should I leave as is or change for this week draw and hope someone reposts for new week? Thanks for any help!

    As I got no replies to question I will change end date and advise people to bookmark it or hopefully someone will take it out of game over? As far as I can tell the new rules were if a comp has end date for draw it has to be posted for each draw!

    It has been posted HERE using the final 30/09 End Date.
    I thought the new rule for Dailies & Weeklies were that they go on Main board using the final end date with a link posted in the Daily/Weekly threads. Nobody seems to be sure now and as the new rules sticky has disappeared, we can't find out.

    Hi I changed the end date on my post because as far as I'm aware you are meant to post each draw separately if each one has an end date? I did ask what I should do as I know people who work by comp ending date have not been happy with missing out so just changed it for this draw!I do add to weekly and daily threads but from what I remember all those changes that happened were because people were complaining about this. I have to say though it puts a lot on original posters to keep remembering to change the dates for each comp or remember to post again so may have to hope a board guide can advise?

    HAVE MESSAGED GLAD TO SORT OUT IF POSSIBLE!

    Hi :)

    disclaimer: I'm doing the best I can and I know I can't please everyone :o

    comps with an overall end date are posted on the main board, as are monthly comps even if they are ongoing (new thread for each month)

    daily draws with overall end date - seem to work best in one thread with overall end date and DAILY in title plus a link in the Dailies thread (a new thread each day would probably cause more problems than one ongoing thread ie probably have dupes as search takes a while to show up threads, or if it doesn't get posted until say mid morning some people may miss out)

    monthly draws - always posted as a new thread for each month

    weekly draws (such as this thread) - more of a grey area as to what people prefer, some are posted new each week and some are posted with overall end date, and I'm not sure we'll ever get people to agree on which is the best way so there can be one rule :( all I will say is that if it is posted as one thread with overall end date then it should have WEEKLY in the title and a link in the weekly sticky on the regs board, if it is posted as a new thread each week it doesn't need a link in the sticky as people will catch it each week anyway

    basically after all the big discussions things seem to have settled down with only weekly comps still being confusing and maybe the way to go is say it's up to the individual OP who actually finds the comp as long as they make the title clear

    please don't turn this comp thread into a discussion about this post, it can be discussed here :) I know some people miss having a rules thread so maybe I'll post a new one based on what I've written above to include how to post in regs too :)

    in the case of this thread I was asked by the OP to look at it and I took an executive decision to merge and edit the title (see disclaimer above) :D

    I got 'Schorchio' near Latvia, but I suspect the three big prizes are located in countries related to the currency prizes - Dollars, Real and Dong.

    My Latvian Scorchio is probably a runners-up prize. Does anybody know if my suspicion is correct?

    It seems that the location changes depending on the day you play it. I did mine a day or two ago and it was hot around Guardalavaca in Cuba. :)
