If you look at all the members we have, and if I did the math right, there are about 551,600 in total. To win one price, technically, you have a better chance of getting hit and killed by a meteorite. Two times more likely in fact. The good news is that some of them are inactive or did not enter and there are multiple prizes but still, pretty depressing odds. I have one more hour to play on the servers and I completed the scavenger hunt. The dreamer in me is thrilled with the prospect of getting a new rig to replace my old machine, a 970 gtx or even a mouse but the realist in me knows that the winner will be a little kid that joined today and will never contribute or be heard from again. Probably a kid that already has an awesome system with rich parents.

I don't even waste my time worrying about the odds. The last time I entered a contest before this one, all except one of the winners hadn't even posted here since before 2010 so I don't expect any kind of rhyme or reason when it comes to announcing the winners this time.

Some mod/admin who can answer my question, pls. Can we add music into the video of the shadowplay event? Can you please check if the Rafflecopter system is working fine? I mean, the Rafflecopter system didn't add extra entries from referrals but my friends entered with my link. Indeed my entries still stuck at 3.  Seems youtube rounds up or down the video length, so it shows it's 16s even if it's less. Have I to shorten it until yt shows 15?

I got little question about gaming event.
"You have one of the following games"
I actually played two games (CSGO 15 hours and TF2 6 hours). Will system automatically pick highest hours which from one of two games I played? I am still thinking/worrying about system may pick TF2 6 hours (Prize Level 3) instead of CSGO 15 hours (Prize Level 4). Let me know. Thanks.
Edit: It won't let me post link of l4d2evga.hlstatsx website.
Actually, you should have 21h because the system calculate the total for what I know.

pretty sure it's supposed to be a recording of actual gameplay, so no editing.

Man, I really wished the contest was extended a few more days. Windows 10 totally ruined any gaming for me until Nvidia gets their poop together.....
Was at about 11hrs and planned to break the 15hrs last night, but Win 10 and SLI systems arent playing nicely.

" The prizes may not be sold, transferred and are not convertible to cash" Means you can't sell the rights to claim the prize or transfers the rights to claim it to anyone else, you can't ask for cash instead of the prize. Once the prize is in your hands, you can do whatever you want with it.

Yes, I don't think it means you cannot sell / trade the physical goods once you receive them. Otherwise the market place and ebay would not see a spike in new items being sold immediately following events lol.

I would like most to parts get someone who will use for self and who will like them and need them.
But I'm not against to someone sell GTX970 for GTX980 or Z97 FTW for Z97 Classified.
I don't like to someone who didn't bought EVGA hardware in past come here and sell later that and buy ASUS hardware.
For ASUS content usually people need ROG hardware for qualification. On that way they try to price go in hand of their loyal customers who spend money on ASUS. From one side that;s fair because their customer because they have more chance than someone who visit forum only to sign for awards.
But from other side that's not good because many customers even if they don't have EVGA hardware maybe pay attention on EVGA if win something.
Usually is best if award win someone who have old system and love EVGA but no money to buy i7 or Z97 Classified motherboards and nothing over GTX960... Such people mostly deserve full systems. It's much bigger happines when someone win something what really need and really like and would like to use for self but no money to buy new than if someone see contest as chance to earn 100-200-300$ or more or sell EVGA hardware for some other brand.

Hi FALCOX, We prefer just straight gameplay, however adding music will not disqualify you. Please keep in mind that if your video is removed due to violating TOS from YouTube, this will disqualify you. If the video is 16 seconds or less you will be fine, we understand that uploading to YouTube may cause a second increase/decrease. I will also look into your rafflecopter inquiry, please feel free to email me directly with any additional questions: JoeyC@evga.com

That makes no sense.. I worked hard for the system I own, why should I not deserve a prize as well? Not having money doesn't mean you deserve the prize more than someone who does have money..

Yeah you're not allowed to put them in your store. However selling it as second hand is perfectly fine. Besides there is no way for EVGA to track what people do with the prizes anyway.. They can never tell the difference between a regular EVGA product and the prize product unless you add the receipt to the description of your sale..

I hear you. Just broke 15 hours last night. I've been sick with a stomach virus all week and now my wife has it. Between that and the baby it was a long 15 hours. But how fun it was.

Thanks a lot for the giveaways!
As for Battle Royal I only have played 5 hours as there were no CS:GO or TF2 Coop servers in Europe.
Wasn't enjoying the BF4 server after some time, because I don't like several of the maps.
