Wild West
As
name says, dust and death, cowboys and cowgirls, saloons, revolvers and
much more! Show us your take on the Wild West iconography and your
imagination of WW life-style.
Opera Night
You can be in public or at the stage, the choice is yours. But you have to be tip-top from head to toe.
Burlesque
You
are the queen or king of the late night show. Are you the lady who
performs or a gentleman who watches the show? Either way, dress to
impress!
Qualification system:
- 1st round is open for everyone, the more participants the better
- 2nd round: In order to qualify you have to participate in the 1st round. Since states don't have an equal number of members and number of participants varies, one of five is going to place farther. It is like 1/5 or more of participants from each state will place farther. The system is next:
1-5 participants - 1 places for the second round
6-10 participants - 2 place for the second round
and so on...
This system is pretty relaxed and gives good chances to each state
- 3rd round : Placing for the third round will be based both on the number of participants and earned points. For each 3 participants from each state from the 2nd round, one will place for the third. It means:
1-3 - 1 might go farther
4-6 - 2 might go farther
and so on...
But there will also be an average point limit, so someone may drop out if they don't reach above the average. Average value will be calculated based on the sum of points of all participants divided by the number of all participants. It means, if it happens that some state had only one player qualified for the second round, it doesn't mean they qualify for the third as well only because they are the only one from that state. Point limit is there to decide such borderline issues.
It also means that if some state has 7-9 participants for instance which makes 3 players eligible for going farther, it doesn't mean all 3 will make it. If one or more of them have a score below the average value, they won't place farther.
It will prevent hindering the smaller states and giving an advantage to the bigger ones.
(I know this sounds a bit complicated and like too much of math, but trust me it isn't and it works in the favor of selecting truly the best or the best)
Final winners: Of course, they are going to be picked from 3rd round participants. It is going to be based solely on points.
Prizes: I will sponsor the winner's prize. Prizes for the runner ups will be dealt with between SMs and myself. As usual, there will be some surprises as well :)
Contest organization:
There is a thread in each town hall. Post your outfit in your state town hall. Your SM is going to collect them.
SMs and I are going to rate ALL outfits together. If it happens that any of the SMs is absent at the moment, the rating role will take any member of PH who is neither participant, SM or myself. If we don't have such a person that place will stay empty. It won't hurt the results since each state will have an equal number of judges.
Rules:
- Screenshots from the shop are strictly forbidden! Any attempt to manipulate this rule will result in disqualification.
- One outfit per player - If you change your mind, you can delete your previous entry and add a new one, or you can message FP to update your post with a new outfit.
- Of course, follow the forum rules.
- Forum posts upvotes and downvotes don't count!
- There will be public pick winners but it is going to be handled differently.
