Will we receive any confirmation e-mail? I submitted my request during some network trouble, and I'm not sure it went through...

You can tell when you go into the page, the options you selected will no longer appear.

Paul,

I don't understand how the category entries work (or maybe I'm missing
something).

Let's say I really wanted to try for a copy of W/Vista Ultimate. I would
check that box -- fine -- no problem.

What I don't get is why wouldn't I (or anyone) not check every box
(so if you don't 'win' what you really wanted, you'd have a shot at any prize)?

[Unless I'm not 'getting' how this works, I guess the only box I wouldn't
check would be for a C.C. Premium Membership (because I already
have that).]

Thanks,

Mike_____

Hi,

I'm wondering if we can add on categories after we have submitted?
Will that void participation?

Also I noticed Fortinet is not included.

Thank you for this contest. :D

Congratulations to 5 great years CastleCops.

I just checked each box and will give away what I don't want if I win.

@MekongDelta69, it is done this way so no one will get 'stuck' with a prize they do not want.

KikiBibi, you are right, my apologies. Fortinet was a late entrant and I forgot to add them in -- they are now an option.

Also, you can keep entering even after the first time. You are permitted one entry per category under one user.

I'd say for the most part you understand the concept...

Entrants may win in more than one category as each category is a contest unto itself.

Just wanting to clarify on top of what I already replied with.

@Paul:

Quote:

contest unto itself.

O.K. Then if I'm understanding you correctly, you can:

-either-
enter once and check off all the boxes (or however many you want).

-or-
enter multiple times, checking off one box at time (for however many
prizes for which you'd like to try).

If I'm correct in what I just stated, then if I didn't want to enter
(let's say) ten times (clicking one box at a time), I would enter once
and click every box for whatever prize I'd like (if I won of course!).

Am I correct?

Thanks,

Mike_____

Your entrant info is saved one time, but your selections are saved individually. So you can enter say one category, come back tomorrow and enter in any remaining ones you didn't already select. That is fine. Each person can have a max of one entry per contest.

So an entrant can be really lucky and win one of each, or a few, or none. Odds are stated in the rules.

Ah - o.k. I guess it'll be better if I enter multiple times for different 'prizes'...

Thanks Paul (and thanks again for editing the W/U BITS/AU post for me)
