This painful moment of defeat was during a wrestling meet between The Golden Bears of Shelbyville and the Beech Grove Hornets who won 66-6.

Maybe you have already had some success but you are finding it hard to find something else to write about?

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.

The Happy Moan-Day Contest

(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. It is meant to be funny and light-hearted so please, no post that would cause us to mourn like fatalities, or serious injuries, diseases or any other true personal tragedies. 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 again for the next competition.)

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.

The Winners Of Last Week's Contest Are...

30 SCR First Place Winner

Wining Entry: "Happy Moan-day to all those poor unfortunate Man United Fans!"

This entry by @ablaze just edged our second place winner by the tiniest of margins, every detail was checked and all extra credits considered to determine the winner.

The 20 SCR Second Place Winner is

2nd Place Entry: "Happy Moan-Day at the Darts"

This was a very detailed blog about a competition that I know little about but I enjoyed very much. I have played darts some over the years for fun, but very rarely have I ever tried to play by the rules or entered into any serious competition. I do hope that @fraste and others write more about this sport because it is one of those games that old men like me can still learn and have fun playing. ;)

Third Place 10 SCR winner is

3rd Place Entry: "Happy Moanday, LeBron Worked His Socks Off, And Yet Ended Up On Losing End."

There were several entries that deserved this spot based on the quality of the blog and how well the writer captured and kept my interest, so I had to revert to the extras and bonus points to determine which of these deserved the third place prize the most. These extras include how well the advice and any quotes fit the situation, and how much the writer has worked to support Happy Moan-Day and the other entries into the contest. @peman85 was the hands down winner when all of these were taken into consideration.
