I found I could hover my mouse over the video bar to see the thumbnail; they had a slide presentation with the prizes and the winners' callsigns on them, and I could just move down the scrub bar and see all the winners really quickly.
Picked up a DX Engineering Swag Kit. All it took was dumping my call a few times in the Chat session. I was rare DX! Cool! And... CONGRATS to the winners from one side of the country to the other!
You could get every answer wrong on the trivia questions, yet your entry is no less than someone who got 100%. Or showed up for the chat, which I understand had a few more little give-aways. I'm no fanboy, but I can certainly be oblivious to what you mean by "merit based", thus why I asked. (To which I still haven't received an answer.)
Uhh... did you watch the video to learn the answer to that? (I'm gonna assume you're just being sarcastic.)
I never expressed any sense of urgency, just a desire to see a written list of winners. You are the only one who keeps bringing up impatience.
Neither am I the one asking for a list within such a short time of the contest ending. If it takes a day or two, who should really care? (Particularly when just a tiny bit of effort, you can find the answer a lot sooner.)
When I asked if there was a list I did not specify a timeframe. You are reading waaaay too much into these senseless postings? This is why I usually stick exclusively to the tech forums. Little of any use elsewhere. Anyway, given how brief the list is there indeed SHOULD be a list posted right away. It would take all of five minutes to make it if you fast forward through the video. Adios.
Refreshing this thread every hour or so is comparable to watching a train wreck...you cannot STAND it...but you KEEP LOOKING anyway LOL Such a Joyous Season...filled with mucho butthurt...over a contest that had FRONT PAGE attention since the git-go. Reminders once a week, these last couple of weeks, regarding drawings for perfect quiz scores, to get a little more ham bling. What else can anyone ask for? Congratulations Fred for making all of this possible...not the prizes (that were gratiously donated by the Big Boys!)...but for having where-with-all to begin this neat site 25 years ago! **Kudos** to You and all of the staff @ QRZ.COM!!! Merry Christmas & Happy Chanukkah! 73/88 Mr. Carl de NØCEL
They sort of set that expectation with doing the whole live streaming thing. I think, since it takes someone maybe 30 seconds to just type a comment here or on YouTube, that it's a reasonable expectation for at least the main prize winners to be posted within a few minutes. OTOH, you seem to misunderstand. I don't really CARE and I'm certainly not upset about it. "Talking about something and asking where's the list?" != "upset that it hasn't been posted yet."
Where is this "score" or "merit" thing coming from? From the QRZ Post kicking this whole thing off: https://forums.qrz.com/index.php?threads/the-qrz-25th-anniversary-trivia-sweepstakes.626521/ First post, third paragraph.
