WOE Opening Ceremony
« on: August 08, 2008, 01:30:22 PM »

The Worst Olympics Ever '08 has begun.

In this post is a list of events, followed by their chosen organizer.  The organizer's responsibility is to set up the terms of the contest, enforce its rules and deadlines, and encourage participation.

High Point Events

Image Fu (Arc)
Guess That Tune (Lyrai)
Worst 4e Boss Ever (Guild)
OmniLudiCon Stage (Zara)
suggestions welcome

Medium Points

Speedruns (Detonator)
Audiosurf (ZedPower)
Spore Creation Contest (Kazz)
Fantastic Contraption (Niku)
MSPaint (LD)
suggestions welcome

Low Points

Game Challenges (any)
suggestions welcome

---

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.

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.
