2011 Guessing Contest

Post by Mike Carey » Tue Feb 01, 2011 4:09 pm

OK, we had a lot of fun with the 2010 contest and this should be even more interesting considering there's more of the year left, so it will REALLY challenge your guessing skills!

Rules of the Contest:

1) Guess the number of Registered Members as of the end of the year, 12-31-2011.

2) The person closest to the actual number (over or under) is the winner.

3) You may only make one guess, due to the forum hacking episode you can make one guess change.

4) You may not guess closer than 5 numbers on either side of someone else's guess. Let's not crowd each other's fishing turf, LOL.

5) The last guess will be allowed on June 1st, and then we sit back and watch.

I have decided to re-open the guesses for everyone. You can change your guess one time to reflect the new number listed below. In addition, I'll leave this guessing period open until June 1st, at which time we will close the guesses up for the year.


The winner will recieve an as yet to be determined bunch of cool stuff from our Sponsors and WL.com! Minimum value will be $50 in FISHING STUFF.

Good luck with your guesses. If this helps at all, in 2010 we went from around 9,000 to 12,800 members. As of today (March 26)we sit at 13,764.
