CCT Sunday Contest?

[JLarsen]

Can anybody fill me in on the details of this? I actually find myself decent now and a little friendly competition sounds like fun. Does anybody know how I go about this? Who runs it? I clicked on my 10/12 and I saw the Sunday Contest button, and I submitted my info, and it gave me this as a response;

Go to http://www.nascarjon.us/index.html for more information about the Sunday Contest and rules and scrambles. =D

That's where it comes from.

Although your previous entry is probably void because you didn't use the given scrambles. But then again, you didn't know.

Ah, oh well, that was my very first average of the day, I can do better.

lol, I don't know if you can submit again after submitting a bogus one. But eh. There's always the Sunday after this one. =D

Yeah I'll just wait to be sure.

The disappointing thing about the contest right now is that I haven't seen any sticker winners in quite a while (in like 2-3 months, actually), since the person who runs the contest said he's way behind on that. I mean, Harris Chan has won this thing so many times in the past 10-12 weeks, but stickers have not been announced for him. And I really want my chance to win a random sticker set.

Also, he usually posts scrambles around Friday and Saturday, but he posted last week's scrambles on Sunday afternoon, and then he makes up for that by posting this week's scrambles right away at the beginning of the week.

I'm just still playing for the day that I can get stickers.

lol, and your name/results/comment will probably be put on the page for this week anyway. So, eh.

This is the part you were looking for. Didn't the dialog box you were in say something like "submitted successfully"? You only need to look at all this html if you don't get any useful success/error message.
Also, if you go to File->Import Scrambles, CCT defaults to importing scrambles from the Sunday contest.
