I just had a thought. Since the deadline to enter is closing in...if you gave each participant a unique random 4 digit number instead of a 'token' to display in the fish pic that would allow people to sign up later without being able to cheat. You wouldn't receive your unique random number until you paid up and then that number (printed or written on a piece of paper) would take the place of the usual 'token' and be mandatory in all pictures.

It would also eliminate people forgetting their token when going fishing as they could just write their unique number on a scrap piece of paper or something.

Just a thought.

Nope not how it works, with what chrisper said no one would know what their 4 digit number is till I receive their payment.

Tell me I'm a butthole if i am missing something here, but is Chrisper's suggestion allowing anyone to get in this contest anytime they want, or will there be a dead line?

I will give everyone there own personal 4 digit number December 31st or when they pay up till the dead line. They can catch as many contest winning fish as they want before they pay but no way to take a picture with a ruler having their 4 digit number if they don't know their four digit number will be.
