That pretty much sums up the entire race. Some of the details you may need to put in as terms and conditions to avoid dispute.
If more than 40 people send in before the cut off time, do we make it a bigger prize pool? Or overflow to the next race?
Each has their own pros and cons. Understood "the company" is charging 50% on each race. If you divide the "administration fee" at 50%, 25% for 1st, 15% for 2nd, and 10% for 3rd. This way, the prize pool grows, even the insignificant 3rd prize could be lucrative as well. Dispute, appeal and complaints are almost guaranteed when prizes are big enough. On the flip side, if one of these races has less participants, the prize pool become too small and it will feel insignificant, "the company" business is bound to be downward spiral.
On the other hand, by limiting the entry can guarantee your schedule, your prize pool is fixed, and therefore save the hassle of doing calculation. But you may have trouble when the overflow participants can form another pool 😰 are you going to do 2 races each week? That's only 80 people I'm talking about, what if 160 participants? 🤪
Cardamom we have a problem
I know I know. Mr.Mindhorn, the covered eye is the good eye 🤪
You make some good points, especially for claiming ducks with sending HBD. I think it would work well to have the racers leave a comment after they send the HBD and write the name(s) of the ducks they're claiming. Like this it would give later racers a chance to see what's still available in the case that I haven't updated the racing table yet.
Surely there will be hiccups and possibly disputes, but hopefully nothing concerning the finish line 😉. Haha, well I guess if the interest there I would do daily races, it would be far more profitable and fun than my blog, so who knows. In the beginning I will aim to do a weekly race, and if the ducks constantly sell out I'll be left with no choice but to have more and/or bigger races and prizes.
I think a massive fishing net on a hoop handle will be a crucial tool for the finish line duck catcher. If any ducks make it past the last human, it will be a dangerous mission to catch up to it in the whitewater. You've seen Mindhorn, beautiful, that was a movie I found by accident and laughed a lot watching it.
