Funny thing - even though this post is going out on time, it almost feels late because my new & amazing team (@livinguktaiwan and @erikah) got their work done long before me! I knew they'd rock this, and I'm happy to be proven right. And it makes me even more excited at the thought of growing this initiative, knowing that we can totally handle the increase in numbers. I've probably said this a million times already, but thank you so much for the help, erikah & livinguktaiwan!

 

 

And as always, a HUGE THANK YOU also to everyone who contributed to this month's Hive Power Up Day, either through powering up, posting, offering prizes, or spreading the word. And even though I had more time to work on this, I still managed to completely space doing my usual shout out for @hivebuzz's Feedback from the March Hive Power Up Day post. Apologies again, @arcange and hoping to be back on track for April!

 

Now to break it all down, we had 124 qualifying entries for the prize pool (compared to 132 in February) with 196 total entries (compared to 214 last month) and 220 posts with either the #hivepud, #hpud, and/or #hispanichpud tags on the first (last month we had 234).

For the overall number, the power ups ranged from 1.5 to 1,088.445 Hive Power for a grand total of...

 

15,356.176 Hive Powered Up!

 

By comparison, the total in January was 24,924.113. Granted, that's a 38% decrease from the total last month, but the participation didn't drop all that much (only about a 6% difference) which means we were likely just missing a few people who make bigger power ups. So all things considered...

 

 

The Lists

Here is the UNOFFICIAL winners list for March 1st. If you spot any errors, or your powerup/post was somehow overlooked, please shout out as soon as possible.

The OFFICIAL written-in-stone list will be out tomorrow night (the 7th) and at that time the sponsors can award their prizes. The complete list is in my announcement & welcome to Power Up Day post, and will be included in the official results as well.

Again as always, special thanks to my numbers guy @abh12345 for sending along the raw data for me. 😂 You ROCK, Asher! 

   

PLEASE NOTE

This list only includes those who powered up & posted about #hivepud and/or #hpud on the 1st, and met the criteria (reputation between 39 and 69 before powering up; Hive Power between 100 and 8000 prior to the 1st), and posted using the tag(s) so they qualify for prizes. I don't assign placement numbers until the official list is posted, and I've added a separate list below this one for those who posted & powered up, but their accounts were either too big/too small in their Hive Power or Reputation to qualify for the usual monthly prize pool.
