General idea is to beat [[CBA]]. Contenders will do their electronics related projects and document them on the Electriki. Yes, this fits the "What do you build?" rule perfectly. Then the [[!CBA_Contest#Activity_chart|!CBA chart]] should be filled. Basing on this chart, every month we will reveil who wins (active users) and who loses (non active ones). Then the non-active ones ship prizes to active ones. What's the prize? Noone knows exactly. One BC547B? Ok. One 150Ohm 0805 5% resistor? Ok. Brand new 100GHz laptop with 20GB RAM and 100" LED display? Ok. Loser's choice what he's going to ''give away'' as a prize(s) - as long as it's strictly related to electronics.
We want the competitors to actualy document their projects here, on the Electriki. Each month we would update the activity chart and compare activeness of users (if there is any of course!). Then two options are possible: 1. The monthly winner gets prizes shipped from other competitors. Or the other scenario (closest to me) 2. The one with no activity ships prize to active users. This way if you actualy work on something, you cannot lose. Ye, non-cba is always a winner. The prize itself doesn't have to be anything expensive really. Jan came up with BC547 being a prize idea. Maybe any other electronical component would do? This is as well to be discussed though. Anyone feel free to message me (pit) with any ideas (or Jan or Domen for the matter). Anyone willing to join can signup at any moment. The sooner the better though - we'll know the estimate number of competitors and we'll be able to come up with the best possible form of competition rules set. Also it would be nice to start the competition ASAP (waiting == CBA), maybe even in january? Although february seems to be more likely the first month of competition.

Propaganda

2011. New year. New resolutions. Remember the ones you've made last year? Sure you don't, because let's face it - you didn't do anything about them. How about making a bit of change in this matter this year... I introduce you the "Non-CBA of the month" contest.


Idea

General idea is to beat CBA. Contenders will do their electronics related projects and document them on the Electriki. Yes, this fits the "What do you build?" rule perfectly. Then the !CBA chart should be filled. Basing on this chart, every month we will reveil who wins (active users) and who loses (non active ones). Then the non-active ones ship prizes to active ones. What's the prize? Noone knows exactly. One BC547B? Ok. One 150Ohm 0805 5% resistor? Ok. Brand new 100GHz laptop with 20GB RAM and 100" LED display? Ok. Loser's choice what he's going to give away as a prize(s) - as long as it's strictly related to electronics.


Rules

  1. CBA is evil.
  2. It's all about fun.
  3. By the end of each month we sumarize activities of all competitors.
  4. Results will be presented in the activity chart (below).
  5. Each month the most active competitors win.
  6. Each month the least active slacke^Wcompetitors lose.
  7. Winners win prizes shipped to them by losers.
  8. Prize will be... Surprize.
  9. One can join the competition at any given moment.
  10. Only electronics designing/fixing related posts count as an activities.
  11. Several posts per month are allowed.
  12. One cannot apply projects for a upcoming month's account.
  13. Major updates can also be applied as monthly activities.
