CONTEST 2 - Freeze Frame Bingo!
Permalink  

Alright everyone, here's the game!


Starting February 1, 2005 we will have a constantly running game of bingo on Freeze-Frame Radio.


Email me today at riggs@freezeframeradio.com and include your mailing address to receive your 4 card sheet of bingo cards.  This will be YOUR card, from that point on.


You can make a photo-copy of it, and keep it on your desk or wherever your computer is.


2 to 3 times a day, EVERY weekday, we will announce a new bingo number.  The first person with a bingo wins a prize.  Right now we plan on awarding some great CD's, gift cards, game sets and other items!


This is an extremely fair contest, with everyone having an equal chance to win.


Email asap so we can get you your bingo cards right away (remember, PHOTO COPY it, because it will be reused, we have a copy of each in the studio for verification purposes).


--


It's important to note, the bingo numbers will be called out 2 or 3 times during the workdays each week, and the DJ will have the option of repeating them on-air DURING that day, BUT, after that day they will not be repeated and we will not allow sharing of the info on the forum (however, if you want to contact each other off the forum to share missed numbers, that's fine).


As an added bonus (and in the hopes of helping add some weekend hours), we will announce ALL of the previous weeks bingo numbers repeatedly during the weekend.


If you have questions post them here!  We're all set to go starting February 1!

So you'll have a copy & we'll have a copy of the bingo card. You'll call out #'s daily. If I have the right #'s I win...


Sounds easy...couple questions


Suppose I miss a number, Are you checking our cards for us as well? (say I have a line of 4 but i've missed the 5th number...I have a bingo, but don't know it...you only use your in studio cards to verify right? We miss a number...it's gone (til next time) right?)


Do we send you an email if we've collected enough #'s, or do we put up a post somewhere?


This sounds really fun..I can't wait to start...

Right Mo, if you miss a number it's gone (unless you can get it from a friend who listens to the station, for example, if you and Trish wanted to agree to help each other out, that would be fine, as long as you don't POST the numbers on our website).


I'll make every effort to repeat the numbers from the day atleast a couple of times per day, so if you miss a number at say 9 AM, it will probably be repeated that day once or twice (when we pick the next number), right up until midnight.


IF YOU MISS IT COMPLETELY, because you're off of work, or just too busy and miss it (in your case probably taking a phone call & missing the number AND your request) there is still the opportunity to get the missing number by tuning in over the weekend.  Every weekend we will every so often announce ALL the numbers that have been called the previous week.  We'll probably even announce ALL the numbers for the current game once or twice over the weekend.


This is our devious trick of trying to encourage some weekend listening hours for people who might have missed a number during the week.


If you win, you should email me as soon as possible.


You were right, the copy in the studio is for verification purposes only, it wouldn't be fair for us to help people out who ask what the numbers were.


Lastly, I forgot to mention this on the earlier post.  In order to qualify for the game, you MUST be a member of the forum (again, our devious way of using the contest to help encourage the growth of the forum community).

Wait...No help on the boards?.... so B-4 we start this game & I have to drive up I-27 to kick your butts for cheating...we can't have 'N'-e 'FREE' help on this at all. How can we win then? If we ever get more than...oh...um....'G'ee-'58' players we'll have to devise some way to communicate secretly to each other the Numbers for the Bingo Cards. You Know I plan on winning 'O'h-62 of these before anyone else...If only I could figure out how let others know the numbers....

Hey,


I'll tell ya what.  If you do your sharing via PRIVATE forum messages (like you contact me sometimes) that would be fine.


We don't want to make this too hard on the regular listeners, but we also want to make sure that the contest is ENCOURAGING people to listen every day.  If we can keep them here instead of just being a stop on their surfing pattern then the contest has served it's purpose.

Mo, you are definitely crazy.  I knew there was a reason I liked you.  No doubt that was a skill you learned in high school for tests?

Just curious, since I have accompanied my grandmother to bingo halls in the past, and know that it can be as violent as a hockey game... what are the "official ways to win". Is it just horizontal, vertical and diagonal 5 in a row, or are you also counting four corners and postage stamps or any other ways?

Good call Zim....Yes Management...we folks of the Bingo-ing community demand answers....else we will get violent like hockey  (what's hockey anyway, zim?) games.


Else I call Bingo Now, as by my rules, Bingo is when you have an empty board...once you call one of my numbers, I no longer have bingo...

This is a good question.  I haven't played much bingo, so if there are any fancy ways to win other than in rows, I need to know about it!

Good questions.


Yes, it is a straight bingo.  You must have five across, diagonal or down in order to win.


We will probably have variations at times, like for example we were talking about having an "F" game (for Freeze-Frame), but for now it's just the basics.


Ah, I forgot about the postage stamp, it seems so easy, but it's actually soooooooo hard.

ANY WAY YOU CAN!


The best way is to probably email me at riggs@freezeframeradio.com


Or IM me at: LiveOn365


Or a private or public post on this forum.  Whichever method you desire

I think this Bingo game is going to get me fired from my job! I am listening so closely for numbers that I cut my conversations short with the people I deal with on a daily basis. I hope the prize is big enough that I can retire or live off of it when I do get fired.   GAME ON EVERYONE!

Yesterday and today I was in meetings most of the day and wasn't able to listen throughout the day and I didn't hear the numbers from Wednesday in the evening when I tuned back in.  How often are you telling the numbers?

Hey StevieB,


Numbers are called between 10 - 3 during the day (CST) and repeated at least 3 more times between 3 pm and 11 pm.


You second shift guys are at a bit of a disadvantage, but on the plus side atleast you can catch them all at one time.

Brad, DON'T GET CANNED!


I'd offer you a job at the station, but everything is an unpaid internship here


Best you hang onto your job!

I was wondering if you were dabbing ALL the copies of everyone's cards!! It's going to drive you crazy if you see a bingo someone didn't get!! Worse even if you share that information with us! I missed Thursday's numbers... I got to the headset just in time to hear "...and those are today's numbers. The Blue's Brothers...."

Doh!


Sorry about that Zim.


I'm trying to repeat them as much as possible throughout the day, unfortunately every day is different in regards to how much time I can spend in the studio.


I'll be telling the entire weeks numbers over the weekend as often as possible.


ALSO, I have NO PROBLEM with you and some of the other board members kind of forming a group to help each other out.


I just ask that you NOT post the numbers on the forum because it would defeat the purpose of the contest since people wouldn't have to listen, they could just check the forum each day.
