Exceeding maximum entries

Options
Hi,

I was just wondering, with the competitions where you can enter a maximum of x times, if you enter more than that, do you get disqualified?

Sometimes I forget whether I have entered a competition or not.

Thanks :j

    All depends how they're laid out if honest. For example, the ITV ones and others wont allow you to make more than the maximum amount they state. Some comps, take your first answer as gospel regardless of how many times you enter, some (like TAB?) take the last entry as gospel, some DQ you for breaching rules.

    It's all down to the T&C's of each comp. If you enter the comps from MSE the green 'entered' tick is very useful for reminding you what you have entered, you click it, and refresh the comps list and all the ones you have ticked as entered have a lil green tick by them.

    As to whether it's a waste of time entering comps you may or may not have entered already and therefore may or may not DQ yourself depending on T&C's, that one is down to you :)

    Hope this helped.
    Golly, I've got the newt pregnant...
