Yet another reasonr for the requirement, intelligence. You should have a good knowledge of spudguns before you enter one. The post requirement helps ensure that knowledge. So go learn.

Let me put it like this, my knowledge of spudguns is basic. I would still like to enter the contest though, mainly for the fun of it; I don't have any expectations of winning.

With what cannon though? And dont take my post as trying to yell at you, I am just commenting. Also, why are you so intent on entering the contest?

I know basic things about them, enough to keep me and people around me safe.

Why not enter the contest, my cannon was just finished today so it seems like perfect timing. As far as the cannon I guess you will see soon, its nothing special.

No offense, but it seems to me that the entire point of entering any contest is to test skills and knowledge and to attempt to win said contest.

Its not just about winning...... add some stupid motovational quote about how losing isnt the end of the world, and that winning is not everything. But in reality, winning is everything.

Winning isn't everything, but losing sucks.

Very true, but you can do that anyway if you just post your cannon and put a poll up right?
