I took about 235 images trying to get a decent one to submit for the challenge.
How many did you take??

| About 25 trying out different concepts and ideas. Then 114 executing my final shot to my satisfaction. Incidentally, I would have played around more, but as it is, I only beat the submission deadline by minutes. |

None.
I was on holiday and didn't find out about the challenge till the last minute :-/
Managed to shoehorn one in though :P
Would have headed to the track if I'd been at home though which usually means 500+ shots over 2 days.

I took somewhere close to 500, in about an hour. In terms of shots I was considering for the challenge, maybe 100 or so.

I made about 300, but then decided not to submit any, because I was not that happy with the results.
But I was wondering, why there was not that much entries (when you compare it to the freedom challenge, which was just speed challenge, it has just 19 more entries) |

Probably for similar reasons to yours. Sports is difficult anyway, never mind with a digital camera that has a large shutter lag, like most point and shoots. Sports is one of the few challenges we've had were equipment performance is quite significant, although some creative entries have avoided a lot of those issues and created great shots with what looks like low end cameras.

For me the shutter lag was not the main problem, that is a thing you get used to, but the lack of control over the DOF and the slow focusing is sometimes driving me mad... I can't wait to get the 300D :) |

I took about 140 'useless' shots.... I had a one time only opportunity to shoot what I wanted for this challenge and apparently had some sort of brain-fart on the day and the results were very, very sub-standard. The worst part is it was sooooo avoidable....
oh well, you live and you learn, I'm just grateful it was for dpc and not a paying job.... I salvaged about five shots and submitted the 'best of a bad bunch'.....
I'm really annoyed because I was so looking forward to this challenge!

| Don't have them all here, but probably 100-150. Got the winning shot about 20 shots into the first attempt. |

out of the 235 or so images I took I had about 17 I really liked, then it was picking the one i felt would do the best...im about on par for my usual average score so far
