Making it sound like an after school special.  Nice. Not that I really care because I wasn't going to win anyway, but technically the 2nd post is a correction of the first post and not a "multiple entry".  Also, another person was allowed to edit his post...just saying.

Note: I'm not arguing or whining, just being slightly difficult, so please do not take any of this back and forth as a sign of disrespect.

Have a nice day.

Never seen so many low post count "members" - seems alot of guys joined the forum for a chance to win a driver.     Probably not a bad idea in hindsight ...

It's not a bad way to get new members...also, it could be one easy way around the "one entry" rule.  Not saying that is actually happening with any of these, but the possibility is there.  It does seem a little suspicious, but then again, I'm already DQ'd so what do I know.

One of the reasons we do things like this. We'll have some bigger ones here in the future, too. :)

FWIW, someone PMed me with similar thoughts and wondered if people were registering second or third accounts. The answer to that is that the rules state a member needs to be in good standing. Should someone with a low post count win, we'll do due diligence to make sure it's not a second account from someone, as that would be in violation of the rules of the site and would place such a member not in good standing.

See above. You posted while I was writing my response. It's not at all likely to happen, as creating a second account is grounds for immediate banning.

I immediately thought the same exact thing. I also thought someone could have made 90 something (or the size of the field) accounts just to have one guess for the entire field, lol! So if they only have the one post that's stating their guesses what happens?
