There will be a thread for screenshots once the competition starts.  The screenshot must be taken during the contest period.

do you use win 7? then you can use the snipping tool

its pretty simple, just click on the start symbol, then it either already shows up there in the list, or select programs. It should be there the latest. Then click on it, it "freezes" your desktop, then you can mark whht you want to be included in the screenshot, then save it.

First I heard of it.  Thanks Barbarossa!
 

The question was asked which prize distribution method is preferred and very few people provided an opinion.  There are two suggestions

• Everyone is assigned a prize that they win.
• Everyone is randomly assigned an order by which they select whatever prize they prefer.

 
The pick your own prize has the benefit of insuring you get a prize you can use (and what you value the most from the remaining prizes), but it is a little bit slower in distributing the prizes.  The randomly assigning prizes is much faster in assigning prizes, but can lead to people winning prizes they might not have a use for. 
 
Whatever way the majority wants to go is how things will work.

The second option seems like a better idea, imo.

First option works. Second option does too....If i had to pick one it would be the first one.

This is my first CC and I don't really care if I get a prize or not and I'd be grateful for anything. If I can use it cool if I can't I can sell it. OR I can pass on it and give it to someone else

 
Aww dont say that
 
 
 Fixed BTW

option 2

I vote option 2.. but perhaps a thread can be started for people to "trade" their prizes after they are announced, but before they are awarded? Sort of a last-ditch effort to help people get something they can use?

first come first serve type   <<<  that would turn in to a bitter fight i think                 i'm still option 2 it worked for march madness just need to cut the pick time            i'm sure troy will make everything fair and he has worked hard to get the prize system going good        

My vote :
Option 2, with a time limit from award notification of win to respond.

How exactly do we fold "90% of our PPD" for EVGApes. I have all of my clients switched over ATM, should that be enough? Or is that number referring to our daily PPD we put when we signed up for the contest?

I agree, second option is best cause I'm sure nobody wants to get a prize that maybe useless to them + they have the option to pass if nothing is on the list they need
 
It worked very well during the madness contest

^^^ I wish I knew that as well, thier had to be a reason why Troy asked for our EOC ID, but if everyones is 0 how will he know who did what %% ?
