Sta.sh
If we don't get enough then I'll cancel the OCT and close this club since there's little activity.
Read the FAQs and sign up just by stating so in the comments! I'm starting this to see if we really will have some participants. The last OCT was really awesome to be a part in and I'm looking forward to some new faces and entrants! [link]
1. What is OCT3?It stands for Original Character Tournament. The "3" is there because this is the "third" time the club is doing it. Well, technically fourth since we never finished the real third one because of the huge lack of activity so we're trying again, just not tag-team.
2. How does an Original Character Tournament work?Step 1: People sign up for the tournament.
Step 2: I put you all on this one big tournament-chart. You know what those look like, right? And it's all one-on-one battles. So basically, I'll pair you all into twos and you battle each other.
Step 3: The admins and I will discuss who should win each round.
Step 4: Winners advance and fight each other, losers.... lose.
Step 5: And so on and so forth until we have one winner. ^^
3. What do you mean by "battle each other"?Well, maybe battle is the wrong word for it... You don't necessarily have to ninja fight each other, you just have to be in the same picture. (I'll take off points if I don't see some form of conflict though... even an angry face is good. D; )
4. But the admins are allowed to enter the contest too! How can they conduct the voting if they're in the contest?Simple, they just won't. If we are judging a battle between someone and an admin (or me, the club leader), then the admin in the battle won't be able to vote at all. Same if it were two admins against each other.
5. Exactly how does the admin voting work?We will all look at each specific battle and say which entry we like more. Then, the majority vote wins. The criteria for winning is as follows:
---Artistic Ability 33.3%
---Originality 33.4%
---Colour Use 33.3%
That's the last OCT's criteria.
6. What is the voting based on?It's this:
---Artistic Ability 33.3%
---Originality 33.4%
---Colour Use 33.3%
7. What if I don't get along well with my opponent?If for any reason you two are pissing each other off, I'll switch your tournament positions on the chart so you'll battle someone else. BUT, if I can easily tell who's being a jerk and who's the poor victim, I'll disqualify the jerk.
If I do end up switching people and you both advance until you come across each other again, then I'll give you guys some specific instructions. ^^ But anyway, I don't think we'll ever have to come across this kind of problem...
8. How long is it before the deadlines for each battle?Most likely two weeks for each round. So in round one, I'll give you two weeks to get your entry in, we judge, and then I give you another two weeks for round two's entries. ^^
9. Oh no, Kage-sama! *insert tragedy here* ...and I couldn't get the entry in on time! What happens now?Even if you didn't have a tragedy happen to you, I'll be glad to extend the due date for you. ^^ Just ask!</sub>
10. Oops. I didn't hand in my entry. What now?If you don't have it done in time, just ask for an extension!
