May Madness Contest

alanmoore · 05-10-2008, 10:29 AM

OK, over the weekend I will be unveiling 2 new features that I hope you take full advantage of.

(1) The Autograph Experience - I believe we are 100% with this new feature and as such, the curtain will open tomorrow morning on this new feature. You will be able to add your TTM and IP success/failures as well as search others comments. It will take time to build this up but I know over the course of the next few months, this database will build and build to a great site asset.

(2) MAY MADNESS CONTEST - We have a new member referral system for both In Person and Via Email in place. I am waiting for a flyer to come back in PDF form so that you can print out, write in your User ID and give these "passes" out to like minded people you graph with and would like to invite to join you in this community. BEST OF ALL - you will get credit for this and be able to win prizes and Graph Cash. In a nutshell, you will print off these flyers, add your User ID and give out these FREE Passes to people you see whom you would want here as a member. You get to pick who is "site worthy".

There will be 4 Top Prizes of signed baseballs, one of which is a deceased Hall of Famer, with the Top Dog picking his/her prize from the 3 and so on down the line and a weekly contest for Graph Cash. Future contests could (read most likely) include CA$H as well.

Lets continue to grow this community and help one another increase our collections through the sharing of information and trades. Both new features will do just that.

CHECK BACK OFTEN FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS!

For the email invites...do we add our User ID to the "email" field or the "message" field. I wasn't clear...

alanmoore · 05-11-2008, 09:07 AM

The email field is the person you want to send to.

In the message include the FREE TRIAL link and mention they will need your User ID to get the free 2 weeks.

Good luck!

AutographMaster is off to a quick lead with a few on his heals.

All you gotta do is pass out FREE passes to this community when you are graphing or send a few emails to friends you know collect autographs to win signed memorabilia.

When all the minor things like the header images contain actual directions and I am able to import my TTM database and other members TTM databases, it will be one incredible site asset.

We already have the most active autograph community on the Web. With the additional of the Autograph Experience, we will have the total package.

i like the look of it.cant wait to see it when done.

ryan92s · 05-11-2008, 08:03 PM

I love this feature as well.... however is there going to be an easier way to access it? like a link at the top of the board or a seperate thread or something because this is the only place I can find a link for it. Also I entered one success but I'm still a little confused as to how this is going to work? Will there be a spot to type in a player and then everyone's entries on that player will show?

alanmoore · 05-12-2008, 08:48 AM

Yes, the Autograph Experience will be in the Navigation bar next to Invite & Win sometime today.

As for players, as more and more add to the database, more hits for each player will show in the reporting. For the 1st few months, it is going to take time to get experiences inputed in.

Once the text is added to the images and the link put up top, I will shoot an email out to everyone letting them know to check it out, enter recent data and for those that track their TTM activities using Excel to send me their files so I can upload them all at once under their names.

alanmoore · 05-12-2008, 09:32 AM

Almost 20 new members in the last 12 hours. AutographMaster and Yankee2 are running neck and neck for 1st place with a few others close behind.

ryan92s · 05-12-2008, 06:30 PM

When do you expect the Autograph Experience to be up and running? After it is set I will spend an hour or so entering some data
