as i was cleaning up my piles of rock out back i realized i had a ton of mixed tumbling rough more than i want or need so what i though was what about a contest? would anyone on here be interested i could fill lots of boxes ! i thought that all that would be required is pay the frt on a mfrb and tumble them and say put your best ten stones in to be judged by everyone on here kinda like the cab contest is and i will come up with the prize depending on how many want to do this maybey 1st,2nd,3rd prizes! let me know what you think

I would be down, would you randomly select boxes to each participant?
Sounds fun

Count me in.
Will each box have mostly the same assortment or is it the luck of the draw, and then the contestant has to make the best of what he has got.
Since this is just for fun (remember that everyone, ha), either way would work fine I think.

I'm game. We do 5 week tumbles in the rotary usually, don't know what others do.
Tumbled strictly as-is or some pre shaping allowed?
