Here are the rules which we have used in the past. I had considered making a change to the duration of the window when entries can be made, but at the speed that these boats are moving today, that would leave a window of less than 24 hours for entries to be made.
Contest Rules
The contest is to pick the winning Transat Paprec 2025 boat and closest time of arrival as recorded at the official arrival in St. Barth. Each member can pick only one boat and one arrival time in even hours. Once a member picks that boat and time, no member can pick that boat within one hour of the original entry. For example, Tim picks -
Demain14:00 May 8, 2015 Tim
JEK could later pick the same boat but only so long as the arrival time was one hour different, e.g. -
Demain15:00 May 8, 2015 JEK
Dennis could then pick-
Demain13:00 May 8, 2015, Dennis
If Demain comes in ahead of the fleet at 13:31 on May 8, Tim wins the contest - except that Tim, as a moderator, is disqualified.
The opportunity to pick your winners WILL BE ANNOUNCED when the first vessel is within approximately 1,000 miles of St. Barth.That opportunity will close once the first vessel is within 500 miles of St. Barth. The average speed as of the last update is 10 knots,but that could change at any time. If the 10 knot speed is maintained then that will provide about a- 2-daywindow for entries.
