AFMOTY 2007 Comp

[RallyRaider]

For five glorious years Warren (Primera Man) has been running the AF Model of the Year comp, but sadly he is now unable to continue. Even though the comp will not be the same without Warren we hope to preserve this tradition so proudly announce AFMOTY 07! The rules will continue pretty much as they have in previous years. So read on...

• AF members who have joined AF BEFORE the 1st December 2007 may enter.
  
• Open to model cars and bikes only.
  
• Entries must be completed this year (2007), by AF members registered before 31st December 2007.
  
• Deadline for entries is 31st December 2007.
  
• Only ONE model may be entered per person.
  
• The Modeling Mods decision will be FINAL.

HOW TO ENTER

• Entries must be sent by Private Message to me, "RallyRaider".
  
• One photo only will be posted. May be a composite.
  
• Photo must be 800x600 resolution and no larger than 150 KB.
  
• Photo's only - no text.
  
• Including a link to a thread in the AF Completed/Gallery section is encouraged.
  
• To prove the model is your own work, a link to an existing WIP or Completed thread on AF must be provided. If no such thread exists, then a second photo must be submitted showing the model alongside a piece of paper with your AF screen name.

HOW TO VOTE

• Voting will start early January 2008 when the Official AFMOTY 07 thread is posted and run for two weeks.
  
• Each model will be identified by its photo and the builder’s user name.
  
• To vote, simply send a PM to me with your vote - NO OTHER VOTING METHODS WILL BE ACCEPTED
• You can allocate points to THREE (3) MODELS.

1st=3pts
2nd=2pts
3rd=1pt

• Only AF members that joined BEFORE 1st December 2007 may vote. This is intended to avoid the possibility of people logging on with different names to vote again. If a vote is suspect, it will be investigated and if necessary deleted along with any involved entries.
  
• You CAN NOT vote for your own model.
  
• The judges decision will be FINAL.
  
• In the event of a tie, the model that received the most 3pt votes will be declared the winner. If still a tie - then the most 2pt votes. If still a tie - then the model that I could lap quickest around the Nurburgring in GT4 will be declared the winner.
  
• Updates of voting will be posted every few days.

At this stage there will be no prize other than the honor of being crowed AFMOTY 07 winner.

Most important rule is to remember that this is intended to be FUN. Any negative opinions will be aggressively ignored.

ROFL!!!! I like this new Phil's side, due the age? LOL

Let me see if I got this right...
If I tie,and my model is a VW Golf,and the model i'm against is a Minolta 89C-V,the car who makes the fastest lap is the winner?!

Gosh,i'm lost... u_u

Can WIP cars be entered?

[exhaust smoke]

Well done for taking the reigns on this Phil.

Let's hope there are a lot of entries this year, I have seen loads of fanatastic models on the completed models section of AF.

[Luchato]

I have a question ...

There will be some division among both experienced and novice?

Greetings!

3 weeks to finish a model, rats. Maybe ill enter my SC430. Count me in next year too, but it should be started earlier. Thanks Phil for keeping it alive!!

Also I can supply a kit Phil for the winner, pm me and let me know what you want me to do.

[mikemechanic]

Phil thanks for taking the reins on this one. Do you want us to submit a photo to you or just send you the completed thread which has the photo's?

Thanks.

Mike

Phil, I know you said "no text" but I'll ask anyway, is the Title of the model/car model allowed?

Glad you took the job on and I'm rooting for you to make it you 199th consecutive victory! (it's all part of the tradition IMO )

[godfather23]

Alright, here we go. Let´s see if we will have as many entries as declared before. Once again, thank you Phil for stepping up for all of us!

[360spider]

I'm game.

[stryfe101]

me too....I want to take a better pic of what I'm entering though...

Hello from South Africa my friends!

Thank you Phil for keeping this tradition alive! I'm definitely in....just need to figure out which model to enter

Yes - I'm still alive and enjoy South Africa and the neighbouring countries - but the internet availability and speed...

I occasionally read AF at work...but it's only half the fun without seeing pictures.

Hope to see some awesome work in the contest opcorn: opcorn: opcorn:

Cheers

[Captain Mark]

I'm in. Cheers RR.

Thanks Phil for running the contest.
I can also offer for the winner a wheel set from my range.
Hope to compete you again as in 2005 and again bike vs. car
