Once again, thanks to all of the entries to this competition. They were all worthy of winning but as ever, there can only be one.
Our thanks go out to all the judges of this competition, we are getting closer to finding a winner, we now have a final round of just six images, all with the exact same number of votes..
So now it is down to you, please leave just one comment saying which one YOU think should win the prize, if there is a tie, Sportingo.com will get the casting vote. The winner will be announced here tomorrow:-
“The sky is the limit” is my favorite.

1221 Shots
So who won???!!!?!?!?!
So let me get this straight. After looking at the votes for Sky is the Limit, there were two instances where votes seem to be duplicated. “Brandi” cast a vote at 17:44 and “Brandi Jo” cast a vote exactly one minute later at 17:45. This happened once again: “Charlotte” posted at 19:07 while “charlotte” posted at 19:08.
Clearly the judges ignored this and thus, selected ‘the winner’. I suppose if I had cheated and posted several duplicate entries, I would have won. What a ripoff.
I look forward to hearing a reply on this one.
Shawn-
Thanks for the question.
We counted for any obvious duplicates, I wouldn’t say they were cheats, many people have never commented before and expect them to go straight up, if not they would try again, I did it the first time and found I had commented about five times, however..
After re-counting again removing any obvious duplicates (as we did originally) and not counting any anonymous comments, we arrived at exactly the same conclusion one vote separating the two, now if this had gone to the bone and been equal, we would have asked Sportingo to cast the final vote. We had no control over the winner and didn’t want any.
I am sorry you feel cheated. I can assure you we try to do everything as fairly as possible.
This competition was all about allowing people to communicate and have a bit of fun, we really enjoyed the competition and hope that everyone else did – I know that many left some great comments on each others photo’s.
I also take my hat off to those that entered, were in the final and voted for other pictures, that showed the spirit the competition was supposed to be taken in.
Ok, first thanks for your reply.
I just recounted the votes and came up with a 21-21 tie after eliminating two duplicates and all of the anonymous votes. What number of votes did you guys count for each?
Not that it even matters anymore, but I am just curious.
thanks,
Hi Shawn
Thanks for coming back. I counted 22 – 21 but the extra may have been the split vote I counted toward both..
I am meeting up with Sportingo’s CEO in London on Thursday and will see what we can do.
As a show of no hard feelings, I’d like to invite you to a private beta testing in a few weeks of our new site, for feedback and honest comments.
Shawn Knight all the way.
