Update
Draw A Winner Process Upgrade
Winner drawings are now handled through an automated HFTools system powered by the official Hack Forums API.
Winner drawings are now handled through an automated HFTools system powered by the official Hack Forums API.
Contest hosts post their completed form in my Draw A Winner thread. The system automatically:
• Checks for new requests every night at 8:00 PM Eastern.
• Reads each request twice to ensure it has finished being edited.
• Validates the participant count, winner count, ordered entry list, and contest link.
• Confirms through the HF API that the requester owns the linked contest thread.
• Stops and requests manual review if anything conflicts or is unclear.
• Securely draws unique winners without replacement.
• Permanently locks the result so it cannot be rerolled.
• Generates a winner proof image.
• Publishes the authorized result through the HF API.
• Reads the published reply back and verifies it was posted correctly.
• Detects existing results and prevents duplicate replies.
I only have two manual checkpoints: reviewing and approving the submitted list, then authorizing the public result. Everything else is automated.
Required format
Code
Participants: 5
No. of winners: 2
Participation list:
1. Username

Thread link: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=1234567Important:
• Submit one contest per reply.
• Counts must exactly match the submitted list.
• Only list contestants who are still eligible.
• If prizes differ, explain their draw-order allocation in a note.
• Conflicting or unclear requests will be rejected instead of guessed.
The upgrade provides faster drawings, human oversight, no silent rerolls, duplicate-post protection, and a verifiable result for every contest.
Don't fall for a scam, use a middleman!
