i usually enter them the day or two before they end and was wondering if anyone had won by doing this or is it better to enter when they have just been put on.as ive had no luck as yet with entering them late

I enter them on the end day and had two wins this year...and just started comping in jan!

I cant figure out how to search for end dates so I just enter them as they come on the board. If you know how to get comps up by the closing date I would appreciate your advise.

At the bottom of the comps page are "display options", if you change them to "Sorted By - Thread Title" and "Sort Order - Ascending" then when you press "Show Threads" that will put them in day order, so all the 01s will be togeather followed by 02 etc

(the "From The - Beginning" option does not need to be changed)

I always enter the day before they end, and i don't usually get through the whole list either, but i do do well x

I work from the back of the list to the front slowly but surely but never seem to catch up. And i search for 01/01 or whatever, searching title only and untick search child forums, and enter all the ones on the end day. I've won a few things this year, but I enter so many I wish I won a bit more.

I enter by most recently posted, I've done end-by date comping before and prefer this method. For example at present I have entered or ticked entered even if I haven't on every comp on here!!!

I was wondering this myself. I enter comps early (day or day after posted) and hardly win a thing

Your signature looks like you're doing alright to me however you're entering them.
