If you are not on this list, you do not have an automatic raffle entry, and will need to manually enter as in previous months, at the times specified in the raffle threads.

Shoot me a PM if you believe there are any discrepancies.

Hi Adam, I put in a couple of comments just to try and help all I can say is that I really hope the K1 goes to a good and needy home, I have one so I am ok, kind regards Ian, P.S. I still dont have a clue as how to put a picture on here.

I'm sure it will! To upload a picture, just click on "manage attachments" below the text editor, then pick a photo you want to upload.

If the threads all fill up, there will be 304 people qualified to win the K-1 II.

I counted 69 plus the 240 which is 309 - but I could be wrong. I also don't think the difference is a big one. 1/304 or 309 is pretty amazing odds.

80 slots available per thread

you can enter any thread but once you have a spot, you cannot get another so don't try to enter again

if you have an automatic entry you cannot enter a thread

That is why Adam scheduled the Threads for tomorrow - so he could check and double check his work.

Ahhh... That makes sense.

This is the message I received upon trying to enter the August Raffle #1.

"You have already entered this raffle. Good luck!"

I have? I don't think I have. I didn't make 180 posts and I didn't see my name on the list.
I did successfully enter the test raffle.

So....., am I in or not?

You have already entered this raffle. Good luck!

I've only posted in the test raffle... (and made around 60 posts in august)

Am I in?
