I forgot about the new time changes when I made the time limits for the contest. I adjusted them for the 1st and 2nd weeks to give everyone a fair shot at the free TomTom

 

[battom]

Just curious.... did you intentionally start it on DST day too?

 

[DrMatt]

Probably...

You should change the language in that sentence preceding the time periods, too... still says 2 hours for week one.

What determines the last poster is how much time goes by between posts. It will start at 2 hours between posts. If you post during that first week and 2 hour goes by without someone else posting, then you win! The time frame will get shorter over the weeks!

question:

say someone posts at 8:00PM, we'll call him person A.
No one else's posts... Person A posts again before the allot time limit is up. For the 4 hour week say they post again at 11:30PM - 3.5 hours into the original post.

Does the time go from their first post @ 8:00PM and end @ Midnight or does it reset from their 11:30 post?

 

[Jason]

If the same person posts back to back, their first post in that series will be the one that starts the timer.

thats cool.

 

[battom]

allows for some serious 'game play'

 

[Foxbreakr]

Has there been a winner

 

[truthiness]

Will the TomTom come with the latest maps? It'd kind of suck to have to pay for maps after winning such a brutal contest.

 

[battom]

give up and go buy one over the counter then

 

[truthiness]

I'm just saying that I would assume that TomTom would hook the winner up with an up to date unit. I think that's a fair question.

If I win it, the answer is yes, they will be updated.

Anyone else wins...you get maps four versions old. So stop posting to the contest thread -- it's really not worth your time to win old maps.

as long as anyone who's not a moderator wins, I'll be a happy camper.

 

[digital-flex]

I certainly want to win
