TAR 37 Contest for a Contest Idea

JCIN said:
I am all for that. The only hang up is that type of contest is against the Facebook TOS. I know lots of people do them but according to the rules if you make someone share a post to have a chance to win something Facebook can suspend your account and I just have not wanted to take a chance.

"3. Promotions may be administered on Pages or within apps on Facebook. Personal Timelines must not be used to administer promotions (ex: “share on your Timeline to enter” or “share on your friend's Timeline to get additional entries” is not permitted)."

If it is ok to use a company page for that type of promotion I would do it. I am just familiar enough with all the rules to know what is allowed and what is not. This why in past contests I didnt require sharing to enter and just drew a random number.

I have no knowledge of Twitters TOS but if its allowed there I will do one.

Good for you, Justin, in knowing the TOS. That's more than I can say for most users. I have seen so many of those types of raffles I assumed it was allowed.

I believe re-tweets are a thing that is allowed for contests, though. Again, you may want to check, but it's a great way to get a higher view count outside of your normal viewing area.

Here are a few things on social media competitions...

Guess how many break and runs each player will have. and the player that will have the most amazing shot in the match...
 
I agree with the caption idea, but as long as it is a photo of your choosing that way everyone has the same photo to work with instead of nit picking pictures that fits their funny caption.after I posted this I saw the post suggesting that so nevermind

I would say, put up a picture of a runnable table of 8,9 or 10 ball table. We say the best way that we think the table should be won and then compare that to Pro version of the run out. The pro has to be one of the competitors who is competing in the current TAR match though.

I know, I can't get you to tweet back lol.
 
To make it fair for the graphically challenged, maybe using the existing advertisement would level the playing field.

I don't have time to read all the replies so far, but maybe you can have the two guys decide which AZer had the best question(s) to ask them both during the podcast. They can look at them in advance and pick the one they like. Both of them can answer it as well, and then announce the winner.

Of course, you'd need to start a thread asking for questions, but you usually do that anyway.
 
Just posted an idea on your facebook page, Justin.

Regarding your giveaway!

It is a great move, to giveaway PPV. Good move Justin!
And, you should pick between one of these people who continue posting ideas which will happen when the match starts!
Just pick one of them.
And for the love of god, respond to your IMs on Facebook
 
I'm thinking the caption thing is the best idea so far. You have probably lots of photos
between you and maybe JP Parmentier. Find two funny ones and let someone write in dialogue
for shane, corey, or both. Maybe find multiple funny ones if they're available.

I'd love the 'best flyer' idea but it excludes people without design skills, PS, etc.
Maybe as a secondary thing.
 
Anyone who "shares" a photo on social media either wearing TAR gear or linking to the TAR page could be entered. Might get new poeple to click, share, and view the new website.

Have the contest be what they say they're prediction on the podcast for each day per player.
