Here you can nominate Who you think is the most broken-hearted member of the sports world for last week, and then try to cheer them up or give them some advice.
Due to the recent strain on my voting power, I'm scaling back to a 50% upvote to all qualifying entries but I'm increasing the prizes to 50 total SCR.
1st place will receive 25 SCR
2nd place will receive 15 SCR
3rd place will receive 10 SCR
@writingamigo will be our guest judge this week!
Are you writing good blogs but still struggling to get noticed on Scorum? Or maybe you have already had some success but you are finding it hard to find something to write about? Then this is the contest for you!
This is the place where you know that you will have one new subject every week, because we are sure to have plenty of losers and mishaps to write about, plus you are assured that your blog will get some extra views.
Many thanks to last week's guest Judge @swolesome who really did have a hard job!

The Happy Moan-Day Contest
- The power of this competition is in recognition, by entering a blog in this contest you are sure to have some readers checking it out. I will upvote every qualifying blog as soon as I see the link posted below so that it gets bumped up on the trending pages. My hope is that readers will soon begin to recognize the blog title and make it a practice to support the entries. To enter this contest you must write and publish your own blog with the Title "Happy Moan-day ______________!" Fill in the blank with the name of a person, group, place, or team. This must be concerning something that has happened during the previous week prior to the contest blogs posting. So this current contest is for sports-related items that have happened between last Monday a week ago and yesterday, Midnight Sunday.
- Next include a photo, meme, short video clip, a screenshot or something similar that best represents the subject that you used to fill in the title blank. Make sure that you have usage rights and provide any necessary links.
- Now you need to write a blog of at least 450 words to describe what happened and who was involved, as well as the reason that you are nominating them for moaners of the week.
- Provide a link back to this blog somewhere in your Moanful Monday Blog.
- Last you must say something at the end, one final quote or comment that is meant to cheer up or encourage the subject of your blog. This could be something simple like "C'est la vie," or a quote from a famous author or poet, a proverb or religious text, or best of all your very own words of wisdom or consolation. You are welcome to have your own signature encouraging comment and use it on all of your Moan-day blogs, or give a different comment or quote every week that best fits the situation.
- Once your Moanful Monday blog has been posted then leave a link to it in the comment section below so that I will know that you have entered the contest and I can then visit and upvote your blog.
- Your blog can be posted at any time before midnight Sunday night where you live, but the content must be from the previous weeks sporting events.
Everyone is encouraged to read and support as many of the Moanful Monday blogs as possible during the week. I will try to get these blog posts out early every Monday so that you can begin posting your blogs. I encourage you to write about an event that happens during the week and save it as a draft so that you will be ready to post it on Monday as soon as the new contest blog has been added.
(This contest is all about Sports Losers, Fails, Muffs, Falls, Goofs, or anything else that would make a player, coach, fans or spectators moan and groan. Please, no post that would cause us to mourn, like fatalities or serious injuries. This is meant to be in fun, there are always funny fails that happen and there are losers that need to be cheered up. This is simply a way to cheer up all of those losers of the week who are trying to pull themselves back together for the next competition.)
Happy Moan-Day to Me, Happy Moan-Day to Me, Happy Moan-Day Happy Moan-Day, Happy Moan-Day to me!
Last week I potentially lost 100 SCR because I failed to get my entry in for @mikey's NCAA Football Survivor Contest Week 8! I had been doing great and I thought my strategy was working out well, but as with those football teams who get too confident and lose focus I just let the week roll right by without making sure that my pick was entered. I did check on Wednesday afternoon but the contest blog had not posted yet, then I got busy and forgot about it. Friday afternoon I was having a conversation with @bamamama and I said "Yikes, I've got to go back down to the man cave and get my entry in for the contest. I had already decided to go with Penn State this week, I was pretty confident that they could handle Iowa, which they did, but my pick never got entered.
I Fumbled the ball!
Here's the thing, some of us are blessed with a one track mind. It often comes in handy when you are working on a tedious project that requires a lot of concentration, but there is a problem if there are ever any distractions or your focus gets turned elsewhere. By the time I made it back to my computer in the man cave I had already forgotten about the contest because my attention had turned towards Freaky Friday. I was running late for it also and I needed to get that job finished and since I had already been working on it and it was on my computer screen, then that was the first thing I saw when I sat down at my desk.
Now here I sit on Happy Moan-day
Thinking to myself oh what a boob
There goes my SCR right down the bloody tube
@bamamama jiggles as she laughs Teehee
Now you can join the losers circle with me
Listen up then, to those who are still in
Stay focused if you want a chance to win
