Contests are good if affiliates compete from a level playing field. Otherwise, losing can have a negative effect upon those who lose. The contest should be designed to give the participants equal chances to win. Competing on VPoints earned could favor someone that has more money to spend. A contest might be set to see who can be the most successful bidder on 250 TCredits limiting the bidding to 10 registered contestants each limited to 100 TCredits. That would reward the one who has skill. Pricebenders may not be able to limit the bidding in such a way--although they do limit bidding, in some cases, to people who have never won before. Contests for VPoints may truly make some accumulate many Vpoints but, in their haste, overlook the information meant to be absorbed from the lesson. If you do design a contest, it may be well to contact SFI to see if it conforms to their rules.
