Its official. All the kinks have been worked out (hopefully) and things have been finalized to a point where the competition can actually begin! The entire list of potential contestants can be seen in the thread, but for now, let’s take a look at the rules.

Teammates:

  • 7 teams, captains chosen by maskedbandit101 – once established, the contest may begin
  • there must be at least 2 members participating, but no maximum is specified
  • if for some reason a member drops out, it is up to the captain to either draft a new player, or continue without him/her

Challenges:

  • 6 week long competition
  • 4 challenges, 2 ‘catch-up’ weeks
  • the criteria for challenges is specific enough to fulfill a request, but generic enough for creative elaboration
  • during each challenge, it is HIGHLY recommended to send a teaser image to keep the community voters at bay, although not required
  • after the final challenge, a required screen shot should be send to maskedbandit101 for display and voting purposes

Voting:

  • Completely blind voting, done by community (no team names in pictures)
  • All files must be sent to maskedbandit101 and will be displayed on a separate website, to ensure blind voting
