@thedarkhorse - The "hat trick" reward is a passive reward - It is to reward those who encourage and help his / her nominees to also enter to this contest. There are no rules other than eligibility:
- three wide: all 3 nominees on the same entry has entered
- three deep - I think this is too difficult to explain and it could be just an extra if one of us noticed it ...
All I am trying to do is to mix it up a little, @thedarkhorse , and not offer the same bonus too many times and keep people interested in reading posts about contests and rewards.
The bottom line is to encourage people to:
- enter the "Pay It Forward Contest" (nominate 3 worthy steemians and their blogs)
- "in turn" their nominees to do the same and truly "Pay It Forward" and grow that "tree"
So, I'll probably state the eligibility as such ...
This one seems like it would be very hard to achieve, but if someone pulls it off that would be really impressive.
Agree 3 deep is complicated.
