COMPETITION RULES
Captions and Images

• All captions must be your own work. Captions that are deemed too similar to existing submitted captions may be disqualified.
• If you decide to change or submit a new caption, you must name your new caption as "FINAL ENTRY". This cannot be changed once denoted. If multiple captions are submitted without any being noted as final entry, your first submission will be put forward for voting.
• Captions must be in text format only. Weblinks can be included as part of a sentence, but captions must include some text and may not simply be a link to a picture.
• All captions must comply with the forum rules. Captions deemed to be inappropriate e.g. explicit sexual references, offensive comments etc. may be disqualified.
• All moderation staff can delete any posts for any reason. All entries are subject to approval by the moderation staff and all moderating decisions are final.
• The winners of each round of a season will be invited to a conversation where they can nominate pictures to be used for future rounds. All photos must be submitted of the current race before the moderator has posted the photo for the round. It is at the moderator's discretion to choose one of the submitted images or select another if they do not deem the nominated photos appropriate.
• Images submitted by Round Winners must be of reasonable size and quality and are subject to approval by the moderation team i.e. unsuitable images e.g. images depicting accidents resulting in injury or other inappropriate material will not be used.

Anyone is allowed to vote, but those who have entered a round must vote in that round or they will not score any points for however many votes they gain, and may not vote for their own caption. Captions voted for by their authors will be disqualified. Repeat offenders will be banned from the thread.

• Each caption will be assigned a letter code, and votes should be cast as follows:

  B - 1
  C - 1

  or

5th - 10 points
6th - 8 points
7th - 6 points
