For every Episode of Scorum's Sports Q & A Time, i make a post to announce the successful winners from the participants.The announcement usually comes after 3 or 4 days when the 3 available spots/positions have been claimed, or when no one wants to put in his or her entry. In addition, i also made sure that before any announcement, the necessary payments to respective wallets of winners have been done and over with.

For contest number 23, three users put in their entries. @betman who happens to be the last to put in his entry about a day latter is the winner. @betman got all the 5 questions he attempted right. The second placed is another regular face on this contest in the person of @ronaldo420 who is the second user to put in his entry. @ronaldo420 got 4.5 of the 5 questions he attempted right. The third place winner is no one else but @idunique who was the first to put in his entry, got 3.5 of the 5 questions he attempted. Our third placed winner was the champion for episode 22 while today's champion was third placed. (So much for the last shall become the first and the first to become the last).

As we all know, the maximum reward per contest is 50scr coins. But for this episode i have increased it a bit with extra 15scr coins due to the competitiveness of it. SO 30scr coins goes to the first, 20scr coins to the second and 15scr coins goes to the third placed winner.

Remember, "Anyone who finishes a race, whether as being the first or the last to cross the finish line is a winner in every sense, though prizes/trophies may differ, just know that there is glory in the triumph".

I urge the newly registered users on scorum to participate in Scorum"s Q & A Time contests. They can also participate in other contests and give always that like minded users are currently running on weekly basis. Doing so will showcase them quickly to the platform as well as increase their SP's and build their reputations.

Users who will be interested in future contest are advised to keenly watch this space especially on Saturdays. (However, there is no specific time for posting the contest though).

Sincerely @izge.
