Just to clarify does the round begin (aka the time for the posting to be counted) begin from that time or the applications?

The round begins on Sunday, but when I do my count at the end of the round, I tally up the posts from the participants' applications post. So even if they apply for the challenge after the round begins, all posts from the start of the round will count towards the current round.

Hi Joe, i just want to inform you that i would like to sponsor 5merits for the second round of this challenge. Just let me know the winner and which post should need to toss merit thanks.

Do you have a preference as to how you would like to split up the merits, and for which rankings? Please let me know, and I'll include you as a merit sponsor for Round 2! Thank you.

Can I sponsor a consolation prize of 2 Merit for the best Newbie or Jr. Member who doesn't get any other prize?

@BTCforJoe: isn't there anyone who qualifies for this?
Am I right that Sellingaccs would qualify for my consolation prize?

That is correct; merit away!

I'd like to rain some merit on the winners but I'm a bit confused - are there specific posts that I should merit? The application posts? Would like to make it clear that this is for the challenge.

I'm going to require that the winners of each round post their most meritorious post as a way to claim their winnings. Otherwise, you're free to view the participants' post history and award merit for whichever posts you feel are meritorious. Thanks for doing this!

I appreciate your initiative! Merited!

I would like to apply but I'm not interested in the cash prize.
Let me know if I can join and keep my current signature (advertises my service on this forum - unsuccessfully though ... Roll Eyes

).

Yes, as it does not belong to a paid signature campaign. Thank you for the merit; it's much appreciated. What would you like to do with the cash reward if you place for this round? Keep it in escrow? Roll it over to the next round? Donate it to charity? Please let me know!

Hi Joe,
Two Merits for the 3rd place seems fair enough, and I'll provide it in the 2nd round if you don't mind.

I definitely do not mind

Thank you, Geraldo! I will update the sponsors and top post now!
