It's a lot easier for people with fewer past entries -- if you asked everyone to increase their output by 20% I think it would be impossible for me -- I don't think there are that many challenges available, whereas someone with 20 entries last year would only have to shoot an additional 5 ...

I understand your position and amazed at how you have entered so many challenges consistently over the years. Like I said this challenge is not for everyone! |

I'm somewhat surprised that this year has been my most prolific - 82 so far. I'll join in and aim for 90, but if my husband retires all bets are off.

Well I entered 4 this year. So the bar isn't set too high. But I would imagine I could enter 5 opens this year.

| I entered 44 this year which is my most ever. I am going to aim high and shoot for and average of 1.5 a week which would put me at 78 for the year. |

Matt in 2006 you had 34 entries which has your biggest year! This challenge is about making 2014 your most prolific year so you would need to go for 35 entries. |

I'd be happy to try this. My tally so far this year is 80 but will have a few more by the end of the year.
(as a personal side challenge, I'm also going to try and beat my average score for the year as well.) |

I just checked my stats:
2011 -- 109 entries (my very first entry was 01/02/2011)
2012 -- 97 (slacker year)
2013 -- 117 so far
What I lack in quality I try to make up in quantity. I am not sure I can keep up the pace to match this year's total, but I will give it a shot. |

| My best year 2007 inspired on by Team Suck (38). I will try, but I'm looking at knee surgery I will go for at least 3 a month till I can't. |

| I'd like to be part of the challenge. I had 30 so far this year. I would like to hit 75 this next year. |

Maybe one of the stat gurus can come up with a number which adjusts the average score to "compensate" for entering more challenges, to give a "weighted average" for the year. :-) |

| I'm willing to give this a try. My highest yearly total was back in 2006 at 52. I'll go for 75 just to make it interesting. |

Yeah that's not going to happen. I can't imagine finding time to enter 35 open challenges that interest me next year. |

I will try to enter 40. That should bring my total challenge entries to 600, and while not on par with the greats like  Bear_Music and  GeneralE, that's a lot! |

| My best year so far was 2013: 114 entries. I will try at least to reach the 500 mark (53 to go) but I am not sure I can beat this year number |

I'm putting you down for 115! Give yourself something to strive for or just do your best to get close to it :) |

After entering the Dec free study I have 120 entries for 2013.
That would set my target to 121, right? |
