how did i not win comp 32? i have 19 and the next guy has 11...

[henk4]

how did i not win comp 32? i have 19 and the next guy has 11...

you have reached the finals, by getting 19 out of 40 votes casted in the first group. The second group had 37 voters, more evenly split over different pics.

The system is now to cast two votes and then go for the final :)

[SPHFerrari]

hmmmm ok

[henk4]

hmmmm ok

you may have been winning from a "weak" competition. I was in your group :D

[Niko_Fx]

how did i not win comp 32? i have 19 and the next guy has 11...

The winner of each thread goes to the Final.

Reasons:

A- Nobody votes for one pic, they vote for 2, one in each thread.
B- Maybe your thread had worse pics and the 19 points were easier to get than the 11 points the other member got with a tougher competition (I'm not implying anything, just giving an example)

[henk4]

A- Nobody votes for one pic, they vote for 2, one in each thread.


In theory, just count the number of votes in each thread. Obviously the system has not yet been understood by everybody :)

Well, this is my first shot a photo comp here. Main reason being that there are NO nice cars in my area. However, a new Corvette C6 arrived at the dealership, so I took advantage.

Whoa! That corvette looks sexy in black. It also looks great in Blue. Chevy did such a great job designing the C6.

So you want sexy in black do you...

It did look very nice in black, though the car was a touch on the dirty side at the time.

what about blacking out a license plate?

[carrera_gtcrazy]

Drew is that Rolands F40? It sure seems like it!!!

[Rebirth of Xar]

thats def allowed

[fastautos]

Yes - I met up with him yesterday to get photos of his LM. He is probably the COOLEST Ferrari owner I have ever met. It was really interesting to hear him talk about his car and how it was built.
