    How many names would we have to get on CT's automatic Coca Cola thingy for us to have a chance within the deadline?

    A chance of what?

    A chance to go top of the list?</p>

    I think that it'll be hard to work out because it depends on when the people join the list really. if somebody joins the day before the deadline then they count once, if someone joines 3 months before they count 90 (ish times) so in order to find out how many people are needed to go top you would have to decide when all the hypothetical people would join the list.</p>

    Even if you managed to predict that you would then have to look at the top few clubs and decide how many of them are still actively entering or how many of them did it once and not since. Are they getting more and more people registering or is it constant? is the figure going down? theres a lot of variables involved</p>

    You get an email first time you enter. THey say that they will contact the winners via the mobile number so I guess it would be helpful if they know they've been entered.</p>

    I know, let's just register everyones personal phone numbers and email addresses into a competition without their permission. Thats a good idea.

    do what I did...

    register them on their behalf (ie family members) and just tell them what you have done.

    Email the link to everyone else, or tell them about it,

    lets face it, your own family isn't going to cause a stir are they.
