This seems like a great little fun contest for everyone on the forum.

Would it be worth if you have lots of entries - runing the entries in each thread in like a knockout stage - ie each thread has say 10 models - the winner from each thread goes through to the next round and is voted again until there is an overall winner.

Just an idea to make it less complex

I agree with Jimbob and his "rounds" idea. This would also prevent anyone from getting as many freinds as they can to vote for them just to win. It would be hard for them to do that if eventually they would have to have over half the total votes for them.

*To vote, simply send a PM to me with your vote....NO OTHER VOTES WILL BE ALLOWED
*You can vote for ONE MODEL ONLY
*Only AF members can vote that are members before the 31st December 2002. This will also stop people logging on with different names to vote again. If a vote is suspect, I can check it out and it will be deleted along with the entry of the model.


Hope this clears your question up

First off, I don't see how the "AF members before December 31st" will stop people from making bogus AF accounts to up their score. Maybe you need to say something like "People with at least 20 posts" or something to make sure they are active accounts and not bogus.

Secondly, is FOTW entering? In the event you and him take first and second place, third place gets all the prizes right?

Hopefully people will be honest in there voting...thats all i'm asking people to do....but it may be hard to police.
If there are alot of votes going to one model etc from "Newbie's", ......myself and Jay can check this out through there profile.

As for Chris....yes he can enter. I guess it would be up to Chris if he wishes to give up the prize to the next person....Chris???

Well my hypothetical scenario would be FOTW getting second...you know, it wouldn't make any sense if Fly won a GT Wing set

Sounds fair with the unlimited, I guess I might have to stall my corolla, I don't think it's worthy enough for everyones taste, but we'll see.

Crap. It looks like I missed the contest. There is no way that I can get a model finished in a month. Oh well. I'll be in the next one.

You must be able to get something finished by the end of December

For the voting here's another suggestion...

Only those who enter a model have the right to vote? In doing so, you avoid the "bogus"people.

Just again another humble idea for the even more humble Guido

Sounds good. Of course you would come first Pman, how could you not think that?
I just wish I had a model that you all like done, you all seem to be import fans and you would most probably vote for that type of model.

Well I would hope that people vote on the quality and the effort that has been put into the model. Not what type of model it is...
