DementedHero Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I decided to organise a tournament. It will be a signature contest, with the goal to create the best signature here on scapeboard. This is the set-up: First Round: 1 to 1 Battles. The winner of each battle goes on to the next round. Second Round: Group Round. In this round, there will be a theme. The 5 left over contestants are placed in 1 group, and all battle eachother once. When a person wins a battle, he/she will be given 3 points, if its a tie, both get 1 point. The first 2 of the group go on to the final. Final Group Round: The final round. Ofcourse, the remaining 2 people battle eachother once, and the winner wins.. It would be nice to give this winner a price, but a I gave away everything on my account, I dont really have anything to hand over. Im trying to get some cash or items from some of my friends. Well, changed to 10 contestants, which we now already have, with one possible draw-out, if that person cant be there at those days, I will enter it myself, and ask another person to Judge instead of me. If you have any suggestions for the Themes used in the second and final round, please pm me. Common Sense Rules: 1.You have to make everything yourself, no ripping. Stock Images are NOT allowed. 2.No flaming at someones sig which he or she entered. 3.Sigs size has to be within scapeboard limits, not bigger. Smaller is allowed ofcourse. Contestants: 1.Me 2.Craig7486 3.Chicken 4.Danabis 5.Vladmoney 6.Keiphus 7.Azvareth 8.MattSinclair 9.Ryan 10.Eccentric (not sure) Date: Probably the 13th of july. Did I miss any details?

Do you have a Random number Generator we can get, or someon can use one. That way we each get a number, and do it that way :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azvareth Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Hmmm... I might join in, not sure yet, though. Just one question: the sig, will you give the contestants any details as to how it should look like, or will it be completely (in lack of other words) "free"? I hope you understood that. >_< // Azvi.

There has to be boundaries in all contests, so I'd think there will be themes. Contest without boundaries is just chaos with prizes.

Demoris Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 He states that in the second and third round there is a theme, so in the first I assume it is an open category Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadril Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 He states that in the second and third round there is a theme, so in the first I assume it is an open category The First is Open (probaly just so it doesnt drop some people out right away because they suck at a paticular theme) and the 2nd and 3rd one's are themes.

Keiphus Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Few Questions. Will the "winner" overall be selected based on the his complete amount of points from all 3 rounds? Will the points be reset every round? You say there will be "themes." What kind? I hope by theme you mean theme, and not style. I wouldn't want the last round to be "Gorey PhotoManips" when that isn't really a theme I guess, but more of a style. Something like... "Darkness" would fit that better maybe? Well that's just because I hate 90% of manips (most require little skill) but you get the idea. :) Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that idea :P That way someone isn't forced to do a theme they suck wagon at, and can present it in a different way instead :P (well their own way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DementedHero Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 Yes, the first round is an open theme, but with the restrictions that it has to be self-made, with teh exception of stock photos, I think I have to put the limit to 2 there. The second and final round are within certain themes, because the weaker artists are already out of the tournament. Ah, forget about the pms, as nobody seems to do that, its ok, ill just look through the posts. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DementedHero Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 Keiphus, there will be actual themes, no style restrictions, as that would not be fair, as a good artist can specialize in one certain thing, so dont worry :) Azvareth, alrighties, added the names now.

Keiphus Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Nobody answered my points question... Will they be cummumulative? ROFL. I can't spell to save my life. >.< /edit - Oh, well don't get me wrong. I can do any style with pure elegance, but I was just wondering. Don't make the mistake of thinking there is anything I cannot do. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DementedHero Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 Oh, yes, sorry :wink: Good point, I think it would be the best idea to reset the points every round, because if a person gets the second place in the first group round, he has less points then the first one, and if they would meet in the final round, he already has a disadvantage, that wouldnt seem fair, because he might just be better, and had back luck in the first round. So, yes, they will be reset each round. Unless someone can come with a good reason why I shouldnt reset them every round that is :wink: *EDIT* Oh, and I recently pmed ForsakenMage, about the prize, I wont tell my idea yet, but I can assure you its nice, if she and the other mods/admins agree with it. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
