Actually it does but I can easily make changes to it based on number of participants and length of rounds. I would be hoping for most rounds to allow for 3 sets of saves per user.


I can't see the contest starting out with 3 saves per hour. With 807 Pokemon and an estimate of 35 participants, having only 3 saves per hour means only 420 Pokemon would be saved after 4 hours and the round would last about 8 hours. This does not even factor in that not everyone will make their first saves during the first hour of the first round, so the actual number of Pokemon saved after 4 hours will probably be less than 420.

We'll probably need 5 or 6 saves per hour to start out the contest. A pre-contest discussion topic could be made to get estimates of early participant numbers, in addition to allowing people to discuss their plans on what Pokemon they will be saving with their first saves. The first few rounds could be chaotic with some saves going towards Pokemon that have already been saved. At least my first set of saves will consist of Pokemon that are unlikely to have a conflict with another user's first set of saves.
