If you'd like to set up a game challenge, post a relevant thread containing the terms of the contest.  If the game is commercial, it will be on a lower point scale than if the game can be played for free.

High Point event scoring:

Gold = 6 points + number of participants (max 16)
Silver = 3 points + n (max 13)
Bronze = n (max 10)

Medium Point event scoring:

Gold = 2 points + number of participants (max 12)
Silver = n (max 10)
Bronze = n - 2 (min 1, max 8)

Low Point event scoring (free games):

Gold = number of participants + 1
Silver = (n + 1) / 2
Bronze = (n + 1) / 3

Low Point event scoring (commercial games):

Gold = number of participants - 2 (min 3)
Silver = (n - 2) / 2
Bronze = (n -2) / 3

----

Anybody who chooses not to participate in a contest is eligible to judge it.  Minimum of two, maximum of five judges per contest.  A judge may award one Judge's Favor point to any participant in a contest.  This point goes immediately on the player's standings, regardless of how he places in the contest.

Organizers, begin your threads or notify me if you wish to be replaced.

Hey, Kazz, where's GUESS THAT TUNE in the points tier?

[Kazz]

ooooooooooooops

[AČ]

Kazz, since GTT is in teams, I'mma going to classify "n" as "Number of TEAMS" so it's 4 is that ok or did you want me to what I dunno

[Kazz]

That's pretty good.

[Royal☭]

I'll organize a Photography contest and a Let's Draw contest.

[AČ]

..wait, a minimum of 2 judges?

 

[Kazz]

yeah what's wrong with that

should it be 3?

[AČ]

Can I count a chat room that I call on to assist with difficult calls another judge?

[Kazz]

Lyrai, your contest doesn't HAVE judging.  there are no opinions in play.  it is exempt.

[AČ]

Oh. When you meant judge I meant something something...
....
You know what, just call me stupid and be done with it.

Lyrai, your contest doesn't HAVE judging.  there are no opinions in play.  it is exempt.

Technically it could be like Jeopardy where there are right answers but judges sometimes have to decide whether an answer is close enough.

But yeah, I can see why you could have only one person making those calls.

Looking back on the construction, I tried to avoid songs and stuff that could cause such close calls.
