    what you could do is 17 calls on the Friday it opens, then Saturday-Friday when it closes is 19 calls, this should give you 150 in total

    Tips for spreading out your 150 entries:-

    Option 1: The Balanced Weekday Split This method keeps your weekends completely free and spreads the workload evenly across the 6 standard working days.

    • Friday (Day 1): 25 calls
    • Saturday: 0 calls (Rest)
    • Sunday: 0 calls (Rest)
    • Monday: 25 calls
    • Tuesday: 25 calls
    • Wednesday: 25 calls
    • Thursday: 25 calls
    • Friday (Day 8): 25 calls

    Option 2: The Front-Loaded Push Get the majority of the work done early so your second Friday is light and stress-free.

    • Friday (Day 1): 30 calls
    • Saturday: 0 calls (Rest)
    • Sunday: 0 calls (Rest)
    • Monday: 35 calls (Peak energy)
    • Tuesday: 35 calls
    • Wednesday: 25 calls
    • Thursday: 15 calls
    • Friday (Day 8): 10 calls (Wrap-up)

    Option 3: The Daily Low-Intensity Sprint If you operate 7 days a week, spreading the calls across every single day minimizes daily fatigue.

    • Friday (Day 1): 19 calls
    • Saturday: 19 calls
    • Sunday: 19 calls
    • Monday: 19 calls
    • Tuesday: 19 calls
    • Wednesday: 19 calls
    • Thursday: 18 calls
    • Friday (Day 8): 18 calls

    Does anyone know if the phone line stops accepting entries when you've reached the limit or whether it's up to the caller to keep track?

  • When you exceed the limit it says something along the lines of you have reached the maximum number of calls

    It's getting to a stage now where you start to think is it really worth it.

    Hours and hours of calls (including 250 for MMAW) for the tiny miniscule chance of ever winning.

    Is anyone else thinking of just entering a few times each week, or even not bothering at all?
