The Rules-

To Enter- Please post here in tomato colored text that you would like to enter.

Starting image will be a suprise!

All who wish to enter must do so by Thursday the 20th.

All entries will be placed into a gallery and a winner will be selected through the all so popular vote technique!

so each participant does one round from the previous, and then passes it on. correct?

Correct, I'll be creating a post for the passed image to be placed in.

Count me in

I'm up for it

yup, yup

uhh...

I'll do it

nothing to lose right?

just one question, how will the people be set up (ie: random placement, or people who are voted strongest agaisnt those voted weakest)

I'm in. Sound like fun.

there needs to be a limit on the # of participants for several reasons. One is this contest would go on too long, and the other is that too many people will want to do it. I htink it should be 8 people max.

IH8's question is a good one.

perhaps if you get a lot of people who want in, you could subdivide into groups; then have the winners of each group have a contest. Have it true tournament style

that's not a bad idea. I just don't think 12-50 people in this would be very fun. It would definitely lose its luster.

I agree, I originally had this planned as a tournament that Vladdrac stated, but it seemed impractical for one reason or another. UNFLUX since you are quite the veteran, would you suggest we shrink the numbers and have multiple groups?

IH8Purple, I'll just randomize them with a quick script.

I think if we were to get enough participants groups of three or four might be a good start?

Allow me to suggest. Tennis is a volley between 2 or 4 people. So as suggested, 8 would probably be a good max.

As an alternative, let's say 16. So sixteen people get to submit an original image.


Now those 16 are pared up into 8 groups. With me so far? The 8 pairs playoff the competition. That leaves 8 folks, four pairs.. The 8 get seeded by vote and play off for the quarterfinals.

*Repeats above instructions 4 get nixed, 4 remain. They get paired up by "seed" That would be the semi-finals.

Four play - Two get nixed, Two remain for the finals.


Voting can be determined as necessary,...


(It may not be necessary to folow any of the above suggestions b_heyer, but based on your last post, thought I'd offer it.

i think if we do a tournament style for something like this, 8 total people
max - 4 groups of 2. Any more than this, especially for an initial run, is
going to be too much.

K.I.S.S.

ok well, who do we decide competes after we hit the max?
