To win these awesome prizes, you'll be playing against other entrants in a Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock tournament. How cool is that!

How To Play
Between now and Friday 19th of August, entries will be open. Entries will close sometime after Friday to be able to fill up the last section of a draw if it’s not full – as I don’t know how many people will participant.

To play, you will need fill out a form and enter your throws for each round. After all entries are in, I will publish a draw hopefully within the next day. To be fair on who you are playing against, you will be assigned a random number that has been generated and you will be sorted in ascending order and then entered into the draw. I will then match up everyone's throws and determine a winner and will post one round of results every day. The winner will progress through to the next round, while the loser will be eliminated – but will still have a chance to win the third prize in the pool.

Who Wins?
If you’re familiar with the game Rock Paper Scissors, you might not be aware of Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock. So below is an image of who beats what.



To win a round, it is a best of 5. That means the first person to win 3 times wins the round and progresses to the next stage.

The Winners
Since there are three prizes in this competition, the winner of the tournament will get first pick from the prize pool – in case they already have one of prize from iiNet.

The winners who make it into the semi final will have a play off and are required to perform a secrete task and possibly answer a few secrete questions.

The winner from the playoffs will have second pick of the prize. The third prize (whatever is left) will be given to a random participant of those who selected the last remaining item on the entry form. This prize will be drawn at random. For example, if the tournament winner and the winner from the playoffs choose the BoB Lite and Wireless Bridge, those who select BoB2 on their entry will only be able to win – so pick what you want carefully.

To be eligible
To be eligible, we need to be able to post or physically deliver you your prize. So you must live in Australia, and be over 18 years of age. In addition, we cannot send the prize to a P.O Box.

I will try to include enough so you only have to enter once, but some people may need to submit another round of plays. You will  be automatically eliminated for the tournament if you do not submit another round of play if required

Jack asked for some feedback on this competition and since other members took part I thought I would post here and also because Jack is a member also.

I had problems with my browser and it didn't fill in 2 rounds which Jack contacted me to update my entry so it was valid. I think that was nice as most promoters would not bother. I think however the competition was very time consuming for Jack who did it all manually (I am pretty sure, please correct me if I am wrong?). Overall I think it was a clever idea just time consuming on Jack's part. I was a little confused how the winners were knocked out as it was alot of information to take in so I was like meh I will just check at the end of the rounds if I won and proceeded to the next round. Once you are knocked out you do kind of lose interest though. I did see who won though

It's always nice to have a competitive win and a random winner.

Thanks Jack for the competition. Hopefully this is the kind of feedback you were requesting.

I enjoyed this competition because it was something different from the usual 25WOL or random.org draw. I didn't have any problems entering but got knocked out in second round, so like traveller I lost a bit of interest, however the ability to still win the third prize even did help to keep it still interesting.

I guys, thanks for playing and for the feedback - much appreciated.

Yes, it was very time consuming on my part, both the setting everything up, making sure it all works and goes smoothly - which I did.

The whole aim of the rock paper scissors lizard spock was for it to be different. So far, I haven't come across a similar competition using this format before. I'm glade you all liked it.

For those who are wondering how I did it, your results get insert into an Excel file. I then wrote some code to compare your results with someone elses which outputed either win or lose, and I then had to see who won out of the two players.
Although it was a pain for the first round, it got easier and easier as people got eliminated. But nevertheless, it was great fun.

For those you played, you should know that I have another BoB2 and Wireless Bridge to be given away, so see http://www.jackcola.org/blog/186-win-an-iinet-bob2-and-wireless-bridge-competition

And thanks again for playing, and I really appreciated the feedback.

Enjoy,
Jack
