November New Members Contest

Smallie_Stalker · October 31, 2014, 03:25:01 PM

Welcome to the Ultimate Bass New Members Contest!

To all new members of UltimateBass.com,

Welcome to the site. As our way of saying thanks for joining us here at UltimateBass.com we have set up a New Member's Contest just for you. All you need to do is make a total of 5 posts to qualify. Any post you make anywhere throughout the entire site will count, but at least 1 must be posted here so we know that you want to be entered in the contest. Any other posts that you have already made will show up in your post count as well. If you haven't done so already, stop by the Let Us Get To Know You board and tell us a little about yourself. That will give you another post toward the 5 you need. Each week on Friday one name will be drawn from the list of new members in this thread who have reached 5 or more posts. So check back each week to see if you are the lucky winner. The sooner you post the better your chances are of winning!

But Wait, there is a bonus! If you joined this month and you don't win a prize you will get a second month's worth of chances to win. Your name will stay on the new members list until the end of next month and automatically go into next month's contest.

If you signed up after the last drawing of the month don't worry. You will still be entered in the next two month's drawings.

So what can you win? We have some of the best sponsors on the web here at UltimateBass.com and each month we give away great prizes that they have provided to us specifically for this activity. If you want an idea of what the prizes could be, stop by the sponsor's web sites and check them out. To help you find their web sites just look to the side(s) of this thread and click on their banner.

Even though the prizes are drawn weekly they will not be mailed out until after the first week of the following month. The winner's screen-name will be posted each weekend in this thread and again in next month's contest, along with those names that get a second chance.

Once you have posted in the New Member Contest to get entered in the drawing, don't forget to check out all of the other great boards that we have to offer. Here are a few you may find helpful: Dock Talk , Let Us Get To Know You , Fishing Reports , Bass Fishing Presentations Techniques and Lures , and Sponsor Connection .

And remember that you can also enter the Weekly Contests as well, for as long as you are a member.

Once again, welcome to Ultimate Bass and good luck in the contests!

I guess it's funny that you don't have to post in the new member contest threads to be eligible for the prize

I am not sure how you came to this conclusion. The rules above clearly state an entry in a New Members Contest thread IS necessary.

Please note that all of the information required to enter is listed in the first post at the top of EVERY New Members Contest thread. I realize that in the excitement to enter a contest some members may overlook some of the details but this is a question I get from time to time so let me clarify a few things.

A person wishing to enter the contest DOES have to post to the New Member Contest thread. Then they have to acquire a total of 5 posts anywhere throughout the entire site. Once I see that those two criteria have been met I will put their name on the list for the drawings.

Their name will stay on the list for the remainder of the month they joined and, as a courtesy on the part of both the staff and the awesome sponsors who provide the FREE items to be given away, the member is given a second month's worth of chances to be entered. To ensure that members who enter after the final drawing of a month get their fair chance they are entered beginning with the first drawing of the following month and given the same second month's chance at having their name drawn.

If a member has gone to the end of their second month and not won a prize they are no longer eligible as a New Member. They can, however, continue to enter the WEEKLY CONTESTS for as long as they are a member here at Ultimate Bass.

As a perfect example, this week's winner Dennypaw entered by posting in the October New Members Contest thread when he joined UB. His name was not drawn in October so it stayed on the list for his second month's worth of chances to win. And his name was drawn by the random generator programs used for the contests. Even though he did not post in this month's thread his name was carried over to the second month and was included in the list in the second post in this thread in the section titled "October Members Who Still Qualify. Once he won it was moved from that list to the section of winners for the month of November. At the end of November I will have to remove all of the names from the list of October members as they will no longer qualify in December.

As much as we would like to be able to keep everyone on the list until they win it would not fit in with the "New" member aspect of this contest. That is one of the reasons we have the Weekly contests.

I hope this clears up any confusion you may have had. If you have any other questions feel free to send me a PM and I will be happy to answer them.
