Some How contest was not Valid to Some, Especial Jr Members Accordingly to Updated Rank Requirements. it was supposed to be Member as Contest entry requirement and not Jr member if so those 10 merits should be removed to at least 1 Merit with 30 activity which is Jr member Rank status, it kind of confusion when you look to updated ranks Requirements.
Rank Required Activity Merit Required
Jr Member 30 1
Member 60 10
(To join you need to be at least Jr Member on the forum and have earned a minimum of 10 merits in the last 120 days) 10 Merit is Member Requirement
The requirement meant should be Member and Not Jr as wrote. it was supposed to be clear for anyone to understood
Indeed, the contest did not allow Jr. Members, nor Newbies, but it was stated in the OP.
However, as a funny fact, I just realized that I didn't take any look (of curiosity) at participants' eligibility regarding merits: to have earned at least 10 in the last 120 days.
According to this criterion:
- GazetaBitcoin registered in the contest on Jan 29th, 18:12:02. According to loyce.club, I had earned at that moment more than 10 merits in the past 120 days, thus I was eligible -
http://loyce.club/Merit/history/1285797.html- Rikafip registered on Feb 3rd, 10:40:11. According to loyce.club, at that moment, he had also more than 10 merits earned in the past 120 days, thus being eligible -

http://loyce.club/Merit/history/2578892.html- peter0425 was signed up
against his will (

) on Feb 6th, at 17:02:42 and, according to loyce.club he had earned only 7 merits in the past 120 days prior the registration (
http://loyce.club/Merit/history/950952.html), thus being
not eligible for the contest. However in his case the criterion is irrelevant, as he was dragged in, instead of registering himself

With other words,
the contest and its participants were 100% legit!
I checked everyone and for peter0425 it was your decision, not mine like you said
