I'm going to take inspiration from the rules of the pie contest
This is a good decision, Becassine. As I already wrote back then, those rules were also successfully applied to BCA 2022 and they worked out just fine.
and congratulations Gazeta!
Thank you!
Congratulations to you as well!
I don't know how to list the participants and make a beautiful graphic like Halab our super modo of the French part does.
If it helps, our dear 1miau created
here some nice table layouts. Maybe one of them is useful for you?
In one word, I will need help I guess to choose the winners (unless there are not many participants
)
For choosing winners there are multiple ways. But each one depends on what kind of contest you intend to run (I need more details here).
For example, if you want to run a contest where winners are picked simply by luck, you can use the suggestions made by NeuroticFish and examplens. That site is not necessary though, as you can pick winners by choosing a future Bitcoin block and determine the winner based on last two digits of the block (example: a user chooses number 02 as winner; if in the Bitcoin block chosen before last two numeric digits are "0" and "2" then the respective user won). The website created by bitmover can be used as well, for the same purpose.
If you want to run a contest where winners are chosen by nominations, you have to specify nominating rules (as Rick did with the occasion of pie baking contest). This implies stating which members can make nominations (based on rank, activity etc.); how many nominations can be made by which user; if nominations can be edited; duration of voting etc. You have to think thoroughly about all these rules prior writing them inside the topic of your contest, as editing rules while the contest is running is totally not recommended.
So, as you see, choosing winners is made based on the contest type you'll organize. If you need more help, let us know.
