New Photomode Tournament?

[in.s@ne]

You can always do a qualifying round buddy. This way at least all people interested can give it a go. Imagine that you decide to do a 16 spots Tournament, but the guy nr 17 have come too late...and so on...

This sounds like a better idea to me. I think it's what happened with the last tournament, and it worked well there

 

[Boffin]

Go on then.

I don't know if I can definatly make it all the time, but I'll give it a try.

 

[MinoltaMan89]

So, when should we start? I need a list of people that are for sure up for the PmC division and some theme suggestions.

ASAP; you may want to put up a multiple choice poll, including [2.0] and PMC entrants, then you'll have an organized list. Actually I would announce the starting date, and give a week for all the entrants to be informed and time to reply with confirmations. Also I would make the deadline a week after that. Then each round after should have shorter deadlines.

I think the qualifying rounds should be theme-less.

Also are the brackets going to be head to head, each bracket with a theme? Or just a round by round poll, eliminating the lowest votes? Also the polls rules should be discussed beforehand, on how they will work, will they be single or multi choice polls?
Just so there is no confusion later.

I'll do both divisions.

Say wha???
Just search for the other tournaments and you have your questions answered.


Minolta, you don't need a list of people. Just post the thread for the qualifying and people will submit they're entries to you. It will even give some mystery to who's entering and who's not. 👍

I would recommend, though, that if you receive more than 16 entries, doing a 16 entries first round. If not, the normal 8

 

[MinoltaMan89]

Ah yes. We will have an open-themed qualifying round with either 8 or 16 entrants (depending on number of entries). Then we will have the normal rounds as usual. Any ideas on an open edit round?

Also, Grump, there will be separate PmC and 2.0 rounds, not together. There will be separate themes for each match/bracket.

Qualifying round will be up once I get banners from jaco.

 

[NTX]

Good to know this is going forward

Count me on PMC...and 2.0 if I have available time.

Just a little "tip"...you should get a theme for the qualifying round buddy. The open theme "thing" is used on the final round of each tournament, its like a "tradition" (at least since I entered its been like that, and I carried on the Tournaments I hosted)...but of course its only me saying.

 

[MinoltaMan89]

I was thinking we could have an open theme, with this being the last tourney. Thinking back to the most recent one, the QR themes were fairly general/wide (for example, German Cars and Japan vs USA). Does anybody have any suggestions?

Also Nuno, will you find the time to enter? I'm guessing not?

 

[JacoJa]

OK... I'm at work at the moment. Once I get home, I'll start on the Qualifying round banners. Shouldn't take too long, then Minoltaman will be able to begin the new thread. 👍

 

[SVX]

Here's some suggestions.

Classics vs 21st Century? V8 vs V6? Rally vs Road?

 

[MinoltaMan89]

Hurry up, you lazy sod. You're the only thing holding us back

As for the suggestions SVX, it doesn't have to be x vs x. The examples were just the Qualifying Round themes from the last tourney.

 

[jgda9rs]

i'll be in so long as there are open themes. i dont have much stock photos left in my usb stick.

 

[JacoJa]

Banners have been sent! Minolta is probably sleeping now... whatever his timezone is.

I will be entering the 2.0 rules.

Yes buddy, I will enter My skills are a bit rusty...so this will be a challenge to bring some decente shots into the Tournament, but like I said, count me in.

And yes...the qualifying themes were a bit wide, and that was the intention. Easy themes can bring more people into things 👍

Yep, you posted at 4 in the morning in my timezone. I live in Southeast Missouri.

Qualifying round is up! Go on and check it out! How did I do with the post design/layout/etc.?
