2014 End of the Year Membership Guessing Contest

Post by Mike Carey » Thu May 29, 2014 5:38 am

It's time to start our annual contest to guess how many registered members you think there will be come Dec 31, 2014. Here are the rules for the contest:

Rules of the Contest:

1) Guess the number of Registered Members as of the end of the year, 12-31-2014.

2) The person closest to the actual number (over or under) is the winner.

3) You may only make one guess, and your guess is final.

4) You may not guess closer than 5 numbers on either side of someone else's guess. Let's not crowd each other's fishing turf, LOL. If you do, I will adjust it to no closer than five numbers apart.

5) The last guess will be allowed on August 1st.


The winner will receive cool stuff from our Sponsors and WL.com! Minimum value will be $50 in FISHING STUFF AND $25 cash .

The Official Final count for total members on the Forum at the end of 2013 was 27,714.

As of today (May 29th) we are at 29,013. Last year's winner was Dustin07. Can he repeat? Or will you be the next Champion Guesser? Will you guess early to lock in a number, or wait until the last day? Time to think strategy!

Good luck with your guess!

I actually used math to figure this one out :tongue: My calculations have told me that by the end of the year, we will have 33,439.6 members... [confused] #-o Works for me!
