The payout for last week's Freaky Friday blog was $180.28 meaning that our top two entries for this week will receive 50% of that amount rounded up, which comes to 91 SCR. Plus since there were no entries for last week's Cricket themed Freaky Friday contest the 163 SCR prize money will roll over and be added to this weeks total prize awards. That raises our total payout for this week to 254 SCR! 10% of the total prize money goes to the Second place entry and the remainder goes to the contest winner. Extra contest donations will be split 50-50 between the first and second place winners.

First place will receive 228.6 SCR

Second place will receive 25.4 SCR

I guess I'm supposed to believe that there were no Scorum members with the ability to write a story about playing in a Cricket match, I am calling bull on that one and I'm not letting anyone get off easy this week. So I'm going to let the cow pies fly and give you some real bull to write about. We've already done bullfighting with all of the politics involved with that "Sport." Now I'm going to let the bulls get their revenge, this week we'll see if anyone out there is man, or woman enough to get astride of two thousand pounds of pure mean!

Professional Bull Riders Rules

"This bull riding sport has very simple rules. A 150-pound valiant bull rider must ride the bull a minimum of eight seconds with only one hand strapped to the bulls back (“Professional, About 1). The bull riders goal is to accumulate as much points as possible. The maximum points a bull rider can accumulate are 100 (“Professional, Riding 2).A score is only given to the rider if he lasts the required 8 seconds riding the bull."

The object of this game is to look at the photos and video above from a freaky sporting event and then tell a story about the event in your own words as if you were at the scene when it happened.

You can become an observer

You can become one of the participants in the event

You can be a coach

You can be a referee

You can be a newscaster

You can even imagine or dream that you are there

Just tell what happened from your vantage point as if you were right there watching when it happened, or from the viewpoint of it happening to you. Make it weird, make it funny, or make it dramatic. In fact, just have fun and tell the story from what you were thinking when you saw the photo, don't worry about the facts, just make it up as you go.

  1. Title your blog "On Freaky Friday I _____________" fill in the blank with something to make your story unique. Post the video or photo from this contest along with a link back to this blog and a short explanation so that the readers will know what you are writing about.
  2. The story must be 400 words long or longer about the events and scenes in the video or photo above.
  3. The story must be your own work, quotes may be used with credits given but the words in a quote do not count toward the word total. Make sure that you also give credits for any photos used in your story.
  4. Write your story in your own blog and post a link below.
  5. The contest is open to anyone, but due to bad actors and scammers on Scorum, I reserve the right to disqualify or ignore any entry from someone known to be a deceiver or who is even suspected of not being genuine. Don't worry, if you have written good blogs free from plagiarism and have not tried to scam anyone then you should have nothing to be concerned about.
  6. The prize payout will be 50% of the total payout from the previous contest blog plus any donations. Second place will receive 10% of the payout total and the contest winner will receive the remaining funds. If we receive extra donations then unless otherwise specified by the donor those funds will be split evenly between the contest winner and the runner up.
  7. As part of the reward for entering the contest, I will give a 50% upvote to any qualifying entry plus other upvotes whenever possible
  8. This contest runs from Friday to Friday so all entries need to be submitted by Thursday midnight where you live to insure that they get counted. Entries posted after the judging starts on Friday will be rejected from the contest but may receive a 50% upvote if my voting power is high enough.
  9. You may enter this contest using any language, just post your blog in the native domain and provide links as stated above. Just know that I will be using a translator in order to read and judge your entry which may affect my ability to properly and fairly do so depending on the accuracy of the translator that I use.

This is a weekly contest and my goal is to help as many members as possible to receive an established following on Scorum and to build up their accounts so that they can earn a steady income for themselves and at the same time begin to help others with their ability curate blogs and give significant upvotes for good work.
