SFR Contest Rules

SFR Brigade [SFRcontests.blogspot.com] is part of the Paranormalists community, and like the main community, it tracks three concurrent contests.  The difference is you must be a member and identify the title of your SFR manscript (so we are able to track it) to be listed in the standings lists. Members are eligible for prizes which will be accumulated throughout the contest year and awarded to the contest winners on or around April 1 after the close of the contests.  Prizes will be listed under the Special Cargo sidebar as they are accumulated.

By Finals

The member with the highest number of finals wins!  Current rankings will be tracked in the Finals Standings sidebar. In case of a tie, a drawing will be held to determine the prize winner.  If you don't see your contest final listed in a post, email SFRPreview @ gmail . com [without the spaces] with a link to the announcement so we can update our list.  The largest number of finals over the course of a year beginning March 25th and ending March 24th wins.  Why those dates?  Because that's when the Golden Heart finalists are announced which marks the start of our "contest year."

By Wins

The member with the highest number of contest wins will be declared the winner.  Curent rankings will be tracked in the Win Standings sidebar.  In case of a tie, a drawing will be held to determine the prize winner.  If you don't see you rcontest win reported in a post, email SFRPreview @ gmail . com [without the spaces] with a link to the win announcement so we can update our list.  The contest runs concurrently with the Finals contest--March 25th to March 24th.

By Points 

The Point Contest rewards a combination of contest wins and finals and site participation. Current ranking will be tracked in the Point Standings sidebar. This contest runs concurrently with the Finals and Wins contest. In case of a tie, a drawing will be held to determine the prize winner. Points are tallied as follows:

Contest Final  = 1 point
Contest Win  = 2 points
Golden Heart Final  = 2 points
Golden Heart Win  =  4 points
Recruiting new members = 1 point per new member (member must state they were refered by you)
SFR book reviews posted on SFR Brigade = 1 point for 500 words or more
SFR book reviews of SFR member books posted on SFR Brigade = 2 points for 500 words or more.
Special bonus points for specific activities may be announced at random throughout the contest year.
