Hello BZPower members! I am pleased to present to you the first edition of the BZP MoCist Duels blog contest, brought to you by the "Emerald Bricks" blog, and hosted by ~GreenBioGuy~.

Here is how the contest shall be conducted:

~ ONLY those members which have placed 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in a BBC contest or have won an official LEGO Building challenge may enter.

~ I shall post a seperate blog entry that you shall use to enter the contest.

~ To enter, simply write your display name and the name of the contest(s) that you have won, as well as what place you achieved in that contest, in the designated blog entry.

~ Entry time begins now, and ends on June 12, 11:59 P.M. (Central Standard Time)

~ Once all eligable members have submited their names, I shall post up a seperate poll in which all members shall vote on the two members which they would like to see compete within the duel. The poll shall last from June 13 to June 15.

~ Once the two duelists have been chosen, I shall post up the first challenge, and thus the first round, in a blog entry.

~ Within the challenge I shall list the criteria for the MoCs that the duelists shall be building.

~ The duelists then have 72 hours, or three days, to complete their MoCs. Once they have completed said MoCs, they shall then PM them to me, along with any information that goes with them.

~ Once I have recieved the two MoCs, I shall post them together in a new poll, providing that they conform to the rules.

~ All members shall then vote on the MoC that they feel is coolest/fits the criteria the best/ is the most creative etc. This poll shall last for about three days.

~ The winner of the poll shall be the winner of the first round, and we shall then move on to the second round, which shall be conducted exactly like the first, with the exception of the criteria for the MoC being different in this new round.

~ The winner of the duel is the member which has won the most of the three rounds.

~ As a prize, the winner shall recieve a digital trophy which he/she may place in their blog, and they shall also be recognized as the MoCist Duel Champion.

Rules:

Seeing as we shall have mostly more advanced and experienced MoCists in this contest, I am sure that they shall conform to all of the basic rules just like in a BBC contest. Essentially, the rules here are the same as a BBC, including (unless otherwise noted) the rule for 25% maximum system pieces within the MoC. No cheating, flamming, complaining, etc. etc... Oh, and above all, you must have fun! I hope that this contest shall run smoothly, and that we shall all enjoy it enough to want to do it again!
