Ended Coop Page Contest #4 - Win a $20 BYC Store Gift Certificate!

[TwoCrows]

Any winners picked yet??

 

[Nifty-Chicken]

We've been working hard to try to find a way to let the members help pick winners, but the old system we used is no longer available. Hopefully we'll find another system, otherwise we'll have our team work together to choose a winner.

Ok, some bad news: We haven't been able to find a way to get the system setup to allow some members to rank coops. So, we're gonna do this old-skool:

Attached is a spreadsheet with all the submissions. For anybody who has NOT participated in this contest: If you can download and fill it out then send it to me via PM or email (support@ the byc domain) we'll use it in connection with our team's review of the coops.

1) Rank the coop on a scale of 1 - 5 (1 = least helpful, and 5 = most helpful). “Helpful” means that the info and pics would be very helpful to someone trying to build a coop. If it has plans, construction pictures, step-by-step info, and great write up that is easy to understand and follow… that’s the best coop page! A non-helpful page has very little helpful info, few pictures, etc.

2) Determine the size of the coop (1 = tractor which usually is small and has wheels so it can be moved around, 2 = small, 3 = medium, 4 = large). This is obviously very subjective, but just try your best.



Alternately you can copy and past the below into a PM to me and fill in the data columns to the right:

Once we get enough reviews in, we'll combine them with our team's reviews and choose winners!

Again, this is for those who have NOT participated in this contest

Great! I will get right on this now!

 

[TwoCrows]

Ok....I tried the spread sheet thing, and well I am not that pc savy!

So I sent you a pm with the coop names and the rankings.

 

[Nifty-Chicken]

Got it, thanks much!!!

Any other volunteers?

 

[MyLittleRedCoop]

Sorry... It may be that the long winter is just getting to me, but I feel like I'm not quite getting this. Lol
I got the form to open up just fine, and started to look at all the other coops and rank them by size, etc. but... You don't want this of us who are entered in this contest to do the ranking do you??
Or maybe you do, but we can't "rank" the coops in the same size category as our own?
I'm happy to pitch in! Just wasn't sure it was ok.
And... Just sayin... There are a LOT of really nice coops entered!!
That's probably not great news for my hubby.

Finished Rating, sent in

I can't get into spread sheet. I will look and rank, and pm you tomorrow evening with my results.
