Triathlon: The Lowdown BeArtistic Triathlon 2008
Welcome to the BeArtistic Opening Contest: the Triathlon. Before I continue on with all of the official stuff, I'd just like to impliment a few helpful links.
• Official Triathlon FAQ - Use this thread if you need a Triathlon-related question answered. • Triathlon Prize List - Not yet encouraged enough to join the competition? These prizes might sway your mind a little. • Event #1: The Referral Contest - The current event being held in the Triathlon. If you want to enter, that's where you need to be.
Now, on with the description. The BeArtistic Triathlon consists of three primary events, or contests. These events are as follows:
- The Referral Contest
- The Advertising Contest
- The Posting Contest
Contained below within quote fields are in-depth descriptions of each of the different events. If you believe you already know how each of these events work, please skip the next section.

Event #1 - The Referral Contest The objective of this event is simple enough. Each entrant will start a topic within the appropriate forum. They will then attempt to get as many members as possible to join. The members they referred are then required to post within their topics stated that they were referred by that entrant. For each amount of posts a referred member makes, the entrant receives more Event Points for this contest. Here is how the scoring system will work:
Referred Member Joins: 10 Event Points Referred Member Makes 10 Posts: 25 Event Points Referred Member Makes 25 Posts: 50 Event Points Referred Member Makes 50 Posts: 75 Event Points Referred Member Makes 100 Posts: 150 Event Points
Entrants may all utilise any amount of Event Points depending entirely on how many members they refer and how many of these members are active. At the end of the First Event, the member who has accumulated the most Event Points (as calculated by yours truly) will win 200 Triathlon Points, while second and third place entrants will receive 100 & 50 Triathlon Points respectively, and the event will close. The second event will then open...

Event #2 - The Advertising Contest By far the most complicated of the Three Events - but easy to understand once you get the hang of it - is the Second Event; the Advertising Contest. Each entrant will start a topic within the Second Event subforum, stating one forum or website they are currently advertising BeArtistic at (whether in their signature, via an advertising forum, or otherwise). As the list of places they are advertising at increases, they will be required to update their topic with the name and URL of this website or forum. The entrant's advertising list should continue to increase until the end of that 3-day period, which is when the Second Event ends. Here is a short summary of the list items/Event Points exchange rate:
2 or Less Website(s): 20 Event Points 3-5 Websites: 40 Event Points 5-7 Websites: 60 Event Points 7-9 Websites: 80 Event Points 10+ Websites: 100 Event Points
At the end of the Second Event, the posts will be tallied up (a daunting task I have again set myself) and the entrant with the most Event Points will earn themselves 250 Triathlon Points, while second and third place entrants will receive 150 & 75 Triathlon Points respectively, and the Second Event will close. The Third and Final Event will then open...

Event #3 - The Posting Contest This event is as simple as it sounds. All entrants will need to post a thread in the Second Event forum stating how many posts they have at the beginning of the event. Their only job from there is to go out and post around the BeArtistic forums. The more posts they've accumulated by the end of the event, the more Event Points they will win. Here's a rough draft at the Post/Event Point exchange:
20 Posts or Less: 10 Event Points 20-50 Posts: 25 Event Points 50-100 Posts: 50 Event Points 100+ Posts: 100 Event Points
At the end of the Final Event, the points will be tallied and the winner of the event will receive 350 Triathlon Points, while second and third place entrants will receive 250 & 125 Triathlon Points respectively.
After all the events are finally over with, the entrant with the most cumulative Triathlon Points will ultimately win the entire Triathlon competition, and the first-place specific prizes found within the prize topic (see the link above). The runner-ups will then receive their own prizes respectively.
