Default The Most Extreme Elimination Challenge



It's running from Memorial Day (Monday, May 25) to Labor Day (Monday, Sept. 7). It's probably the longest "summer" that we could ever have, so it's only fitting that you'll look good on the last day, right?

$10 entry fee. Winner will get the cash. It's not going to be too much money, but enough for a nice prize. The forum will vote on the winner, and I promise not to vote with my aliases.

Send before photos to rickbandito AT gmail . COM. Then I'll figure out what to do with the after photos when we get to that point.

I *guess* it can be open to women as well as not to get sued, but as of now we've only got guys involved. The more the merrier, and if a bunch of women would like to get involved, we'll junior high it and start a women's challenge.

Official Rules:

Open to all comers... (The more money I win the better )

From: Memorial Day to Labor Day

Winner based on
1) visual changes in pictures (must take pictures on first day and last)
2) measurement changes (must take pictures on first day and last)

Open voting to forum members

Prizes:
$10 entry fee - Payout 1st place (50%), 2nd Place (30%) and 3rd place (20%)

Pictures and Measurements must be sent to:
rickbandito AT gmail . COM by next Friday (May 29th) and money a week later (we will get a paypal account listed later)


"Before" pictures/measurements will not be posted until the end

I am in favor of a "all vs all" type challenge, but as Nick said, if we get enough people and you folks want to have 2 separate challenges, I can live with that.

Good Luck all !!!!

Count me in.

For pics, how about front, back, left and right side. No flexing (or photoshopping!).

I don't care if someone wants to post the pictures publicly or not. It's just not mandatory, because, well, I don't want to.

Ok, just so I understand what I might (perhaps possibly) be getting myself into: it's ok to not post pics publicly along the way as long as one sends them to the e-mail addy above by 05-29, but they get posted publicly at the end of the challenge so that folks can vote, yes?

Correct. If the pics are in, that counts as an entry, but they won't be used until Labor Day (or after) for the before and after shots. We can make the timeframe for the after shots later too, as making people take them on one day is a little absurd.

and honestly, I haven't even checked that email in a week, and as long as I know people's name (If I don't, put your screen name in the subject line) I'm not even going to look at them.
