Its Competition Time.. Win a Ball !
« on: February 27, 2011, 03:19:18 AM »
After the fun we had with the Limerick competition we have decided to run another little competition, for Ball Reviews members only.
 
This time we will be giving away one of the new SEISMIC EUPHORIA balls to one lucky bowler!
 
For this competition we have a tricky word search for you to work through!
 
We have hidden a bunch of words, and all you need to do is find as many as you can that relate to BOWLING and/or SEISMIC!
 
All you need to do is go through the word search, find as many words as you can, make a list of the words and PM them to me… when you have done that, post in this thread with the number of words you have found.  Words can go up, down, left, right or diagonally! It’s that simple!
 
If there is a tie for the number of words we will have an exciting tie breaker :)  We have hidden a couple of very tricky words and phrases which could make all the difference so have a close look!
 
The winner(s) will be required to identify the position of each word, so on entering you may want to use a program like Microsoft Paint to put a line through each word as you find them to save relocating later! 
 
The competition will be open for 1 week, until 12 Midnight Sunday 6th of March.
 
Good luck everyone!

Can words share a letter?

Yep they can...
 
A few people have said it is a litte too difficult.. wha do you guys think?
 
If people generally agree I will maybe post the words you have to find and then you just email me where they are and we will put everyone who finds them all into a hat a draw the winner!

It's difficult, but not impossible, just need to spend more time on it. So far, 25 words.
 
I see some words more than once.  Is that intentional and do you count each duplicate as a seperate word?
 
Edited to add:
Oh, and thanks for the clues in your original post.  That was helpful.  Kind of reminded me of my military instructors writing on the blackboard. : )

Ah we will leave it as it is then and the winner will be a worthy one! :)
 
Duplicate words are unintentional.. so will only be counted once!
 
Only bowling and Seismic related words will count... but if you find any that we didn't spot we will still count them if they are deemed to be relevant!

we have a decent number of entries, with one person quite far in front!  lets get a few more entries in before the closing date!
 
Just a quick note also, the Euphoria will be released March 14th, however we will begin shipping to Earth Movers proshops this coming Monday!
 
We will have some videos online in the next couple of days.. these balls is a real head turner!

I'm glad I have a few more days to work on this.  It's making my eyes go buggy.

PM sent. Depending on how many of the words and phrases actually count (some look unintentional and are only vaguely bowling related), I could have as many as 39. Probably fewer than that will count, but crossing my fingers!
