Contest Options

Ok guys, I have gotten alot of good feedback on this contest proposal (see blog entry before this one), and thus I believe that I shall go through with it. However, there are still a few things that need to be smoothed over/decided upon:

 

~ The MoCing period. The options:

a - 24 hrs

b - 48 hrs

c. - 72 hrs

 

~ Who can enter. The options:

a - Only members that have come in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place in a BBCC; or members that have won a LEGO Mag Challenge can enter

b - Same as "a" except it would be 1st - 5th place on the BBCCs

c - Same as "a" except it would be open to anyone who has made it into the finals of a BBCC

 

~ The trophy. The options:

a - One trophy that only the current champion could posses

b - A whole new trophy for each separate contest

 

I also thought of a new option for the contest while vacuuming this afternoon. And that would be that instead of two MoCists going at it head-to-head, there would be teams of two MoCists per team in each duel. The members in each team would have to work together (via PM) and make their combination of MoCs be the winners. They would each get a trophy. The thing that I like about this option is that there would be no attitude of "I won the recent MoCist duel. Look at what I did." Instead, there would be a sense of teamwork, which is not found in the regular BBCCs. When it came to the polls here, the members would still present their MoCs separately, but the way that a team would win would be to add the total amount of votes that each member got for their individual MoCs, and that would be the team score. Obviously, the team with the most votes would win the round. Everything else would be the same though.

 

So, What do you think about that?

 

Once we get all of this stuff worked out, I shall hopefully be able to post the main blog entry for the contest as well as the first entry form (a separate blog entry) sometime earlier next week. I look forward to seeing how this will all work out! Remember, I need you guys' help as well! ;)

The team idea is interesting... but how would they be working together? Like one builds a fishie and the other a pony or something?

I think it should be like you vote to, say, put Dok and Roa in one group, and DV and, say, ToM in the other.

That would entertain me. :D

Well, they would each want to do something that was different than the other, so that they would have a good bit of variety. Or they could build complimenting MoCs. The whole point would be to get the most points for that team. They would talk about what to build, give each other help and advice if need be... you get the picture. I hope. :P

I'm not to confident if the team thing would work to well, but I love the idea of this contest. Also, I think having a 48 hr time period will show who can be the best MOCist in the shortest amount of time (24 hrs is not reasonable, even for people who MOC fast). I think you should include people who have made it to a finals in the BBC (so I can join :)) and that it will have a wider array of competitors. I really would like to see this competition (really, I'd like to join it). Can't wait.

If were are talking teams, I think we sould have three days to get things together since we may be in diffrent time zones. It also gives us time to recieve a PM.

B, C, and I have no opinion on the trophies. :P I'm not sure I really like the teamwork idea, because I think it would result in a lot of logistical difficulties from conflicting schedules, and (for example) in the time it could take person b to reply to an idea person a suggested, person a could have gotten a lot of work done.

 

That and the fact that I like working alone much better. >>

A or B: I'm not sure about this one. I guess B is Better.

 

And I'm with "Paradise" on this one, though it's an interesting idea, GBG.
