Here is the TOP SECRET formula to win prizes:

1. Take notes.
2. Have your cut/paste ready and try to best guess which note/answer corresponds to question being asked.
3. Profit.

When high dollar value prizes are part of the equation, people are smart about how to win the prizes. It is as simple as that. I really hope to not have to say anything further about this, because it really dampens the whole spirit of, well, everything!

Guys, for those yelling at me that the prizes are rigged, THEY ARE NOT. People are just smarter than you about being prepared to win them

Mike

Mike, while I agree they are not rigged, your overseas members are at severe disadvantage due to latency (even if we were to cut and paste).

For instance (not wanting to create work for you) if 16% of the attendees are overseas based, are they wining 16% of the prizes - I suspect not.



There must be a better way of determing prizes - maybe random selection of names of particpants who stayed on for the whole webinar etc.

Just thoughts - not complaints.

PS: I also assumed that T-shirts and hats were not going to be sent overseas even if we won, so I didn't bother with those questions.

overseas members won 25% of the subscriptions, 50% of the hats and 25% of the shirts

Mike will have to find a formula correlated with the latency for the participant .
I presume their were less overseas viewers, as it was late in Europe, and very early in Asia, and I'm note sure 150 ms overhead would have make a difference in the results.

Anyway, great webinar!

In most prize webinars where I am giving away the prizes myself (like books), it works as follows:

prize 1 - 1st right answer
prize 2 - 2nd right answer
prize 5 - 5th right answer

But it is not always possible because sometimes the questions are too hard, or like the NT8 webinar, there were 16 questions so it is not realistic. Sorry.

Everyone will get it, no restriction on where. I've spent around $2,000 on book freight this month alone.

Sam was in the webinar, and is in France, and he won a hat. And before I am accused of it being rigged, I had no idea who he was in the webinar (registered as 's s') so once again, NOT RIGGED, and as fair as it can be as often as we can do it.

My little niece was visiting so I had her watch the webinar and try to win a prize. Guess if a 10 year old girl can type fast enough, it can't be rigged.

at the beginning when Ray was saying the questions would be about the content of the webinar and the company I went to the Ninjatrader web page, clicked on the about us tab and read the key facts section. The locations looked to me like a question he would ask and I was right. It was a great webinar besides the prizes too. Looking forward to NT8

Smart man, and that explains your answer being so detailed and timely
