Grammar - spelling, punctuation, run on sentences, etc.
Originality of the material (other peoples ideas should be cited)

Ex. Put numbers in the parenthesis following the information taken from sources and at the end write the numbers and sources from where they came from.

Internet source: website address
Book: Title, author
Article: Title, author, where it is from (such as the name of the magazine)
Articles that are well-researched will have more credibility


How To Use Your Credit:

To use your credit, simply place an order through our online shopping cart, and choose the CHECK OR MONEY ORDER BY MAIL payment option. Then e-mail the order number to topic@bodybuilding.com. Be sure to put in the subject line - Order For Winning 2nd (or whatever place) In TOTW 32 (or whatever topic you won).

If you do not email me the order number or place the order like I requested above, it will not be sent out until approved.


Thanks for everything!

I came in second a few times :mad:.

:D.

[UliqMadiq]

Sorry for those who came in 2nd and 3rd in the past. Keep up the mack daddy posts and I will raise it even more!

Haha, I've come in both 2nd and 3rd, but oh well. :)

Thanks very much, Will, this opportunity to win prize money is really appreciated.

[Ifrit]

I agree. I'm bringing my "a" game this time because 2nd place sucks,lol. J/k.

[TRICK D]

I would love to write articles for the site. Just give me a deadline and something to write about and I will give my opinion anytime. Do i get a cool banner for my name and a pic of me above my article??? lol

[italionstallion]

i dont want this come off as sounding ungrateful, but would the 3 place person be able to get a t shirt instead of a hat?

[Ifrit]

Good suggestion, I'm not a hat man myself,lol.

[antihero]

uh, im not much of a hat person, but i do need a jump rope. considering that jump ropes are cheaper than hats, i was wondering if you would mind substituting in the jump rope instead. if this is possible, please let me know, otherwise ill just pick up a beenie....

[Not So Big]

Also, e-mail me if you are interested in writing articles (be sure to put your username on the boards, so I know it is you (I get over 1000 emails A DAY)).

Thanks for everything!

[Dallas68]

this just rules!

[Dosquito]

Will someone who works here or has a great understanding of how the credit system works, please PM me so we can exchange emails AIM messages, please? I have so many questions about how this works

[Eggwhites]

Does anyone know if there is an advantage to attaching a word document VS doing what some guys do and use different colors in their post?

The colour and design of your post does not make a difference. It is only the content of your article and how well you answer the question according. You can either post it up or attach it as a word doc. it doesn't make a difference.. :)

[jdiritto]

this is a cool idea, I'm going to start writing for articles that I feel I can cover well!! It's just disappointing you grade for grammer..

I never did enjoy English classes.. :D

[Flat]

A quick question. If I were to win one of these would the credit i won cover the shipping (I live in South Africa) or would I have cover it?

hey Boet haha...
basically if you won 50$ credit the TOTAL amount at the end of the shipping cost and product price all together must be 50$ or less...

it covers up till you go over the Total limit of what you have won makes sense?

[BloodnGuts]

I've got a question:

I've won the 3rd place, which is $25, when I place an order of let's say $100, how can I make it so that the $25 is deducted from the $100?

[MP11]

once you have credit is there a way to have it deducted from a order that costs more than the credit you have or do you have to use the credit to place an order for only the value of the credit or less?

[eagles56]

can you stock pile coupons for a big purchase?

[dumbbellfanatic]

bump

[eagles56]

can anybody answer this?

[Veeshmack]

can you stock pile coupons for a big purchase?

i'm pretty sure u can, i read it somewhere u can use multiple vouchers

[mnwrestler4life]

just wondering about how long it takes to find out the winners of each week, im new to this

[eagles56]

yeah I thought that I had read it too but I wasn't sure if they expired or what. I know it's cheaper to buy in bulk so I was gonna stock up on coupons until I had enough to cover my stuff for a long while.

[dumbbellfanatic]

good idea.

[VietHulk4]

I'm new here and got a few question.

1) If I win TOTW twice, will the credits add up. Like if I get first one time and third the next, will it go up to 100 credits?

2) Where do I find the order number to my the stuff I'm buying?

1. From the order I placed, it appears that yes - you are able to combine multiple weeks. I combined the recent 1st and 2nd, and Will (the webmaster) had no problem with it so far. The order hasn't been approved, but he has seen the order.

2. On the confirmation page when you order. There will be an order # on there, usually on the left hand side I believe.

[Dallas68]

How cool is this website, lotta you guys shouldnt be complaining about winning 3rd and only getting a hat-its a free hat!!Name one other website that lets you win store credit!!!!This website is unbelievable!!Im loving it!!

oh yeah, how many times can you enter and answer into a TOTW?

i would think you would write one aticle per totw? ...you can write every week if ya want though! try become a regular winner/honorable mention

[washboardabs]

When are we informed of the winners? (Meaning, how long does judging usually take?)

[MattyH7688]
