It's time to start preparing for the process of distributing the prizes so kindly donated by members of our own community for the TZC.  
 
This year we're going to have everyone list their prize preferences before the drawing, so once the drawing is done we can actually announce all the prize recipients in short order.  Troy or one of his minions will do the random drawing in a week or so, and then we will process the prize preferences along with the drawing order.
  
Please read the instructions and caveats below carefully.  If something isn't clear, please ask either in this thread or via PM and I'll update this post as needed.   
  
Read all the way to the end of this post before starting on the selection process. 
1.  Enter your preferences at http://drougnor.bplaced.net/picker/tzc2017.html
2.  Spell your name exactly (including upper/lower case) like it appears in the contestants list on the TZC page (unless there are spaces in your forum name, in which case enter CoolGTX)
3.  Confirm that your preferences have been entered correctly by visiting http://drougnor.bplaced.n..icker/checkchoices.html
4.  You may redo the choices if you make a mistake; the last choices submitted will be the ones used after the drawing. 
5.  If your shipping location is in the USA, put USA for your shipping location, NOT North America 
6.  Watch for updates to this thread in the next few days.  If any mistakes are found in the prize list, you may need to "re-pick".
  
Notes: 
1.  Even if you wish to pass, please visit the page and submit the choices (just leave all gifts as is, submit your name and location, and you're done).  That way we will be able to track whether everyone has made their choices or not. 
2.  Pay attention to the superscript numbers in front of each gift choice - those represent the shipping "regions" available for each gift
3.  You are responsible for entering your choices and confirming them.  If you make a mistake, such as picking an item for which shipping is not available to your location, that choice will be skipped during the processing of the random drawing results.  That mistake will be indicated with an error message in red. 
4.  Use a real computer for best results.  If you have trouble, try a different browser.  
5.  The tool won't work on many mobile devices.  Sorry.
6.  The prize picker may be blocked from some workplaces with web proxies.  You may need to run it from home.

    You really had me confused here, until I realized you must be thinking of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, while this meme is from a scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

    What's the 2nd Choice column for?


    When its your turn, if the first item you chose has been taken - then they look at your second choice and award if it is available
     
    Correction
    Overflow, when there are enough prizes to fill column 1

    I believe it is included for years when there were so many possible selections it could overrun the first column and a second was necessary.

    So you can choose more than two items  -- Place all items in order of preference -- Got it, never chose any last year

    Yes, place them in order of preference.
    2nd slot fills in after the first slot.

    I'm a bit confused.  This this for a particular folding team and if you have folded for them only counts or this open to anyone and nothing needs to be done other than signing up?  Sorry for the confusion here.

    Looks like about 2/3 of the contestants have made their picks in just a day, which is really good!  I'll start sending out PMs when the number of missing folks drops to a little more reasonable level.
     
    One thing a few people have been confused about in the past is how this whole process works, and I've had a hard time trying to find a concise way to explain it.  In the "old days" we would have a thread or PMs for prize picks after the pick order was completed.  It could take days and days because people would not be watching the thread or their PMs.
     
    With this process, everyone's picks are made in advance - one time only.  You don't just pick your favorite or your two favorites, you pick everything you are interested in, all in advance.  That way, whether you are first pick, 20th or last, your picks are already done, so we can assign all the prizes instantly when the pick order is done.
     
    So, make sure you put everything you are interested in on your list now.  You don't get another chance later.

    I can confirm that they're back up and running as well. It's a freebie site I grabbed up a few years ago and is USUALLY rock solid. *glares at host* May be time for me to investigate other avenues.
