2nd anniversary April tournament: You know it: Pong

Postby NightOfHorror » Wed Apr 02, 2014 8:15 pm

This is the day that I started these tournaments and this marks 2 full years of me doing this and now we are on the 3rd year. Of course the theme is Pong as this is the theme of this tournament. The first tournament is still the record holder for the most entries in a tournament, with 7 entering. Hopefully you guys can change this. Let me state this is a separate tournament from the 2 month long tourney going on right now. This also will hopefully be our 3rd/4th tournament with an award ceremony. Lastly, there will be a few changes. Seeing as April marks the beginning of the year technically for these tournaments, for now on, the championship yearly tourneys will be on February and March. January and April will be 1 month long tourneys, just so there can be a bit of a buffer. This will start in 2015 of course. Last year, monsterbrain won as he was the only entry, and the 1st winner is skydereign. I don't think monster is here to defend his title, so most likely a new April champion will come.

Now for rubric for this:

Theme- x/10- how well does it follow the theme of this tournament? If the theme total is less than an average of five points, you are disqualified.
Originality- x/10- Is this a new game, or is the same one that we always play and see?
Creativity- x/10- Do they use the elements in this game to enhance game-play?
Title- x/10- If you saw the title of this game, would it make you want to read the back if this was a game cover? Does it reflect the game? Does it reflect the theme?
effect of the quantity of sound- x/5- Do they fit in with the graphics, story, and overall, sound good?
effect of the quantity of music- x/5- Do they fit in with theme, story, action, and overall, make the tempo of the game?
graphics- x/10- Do they appeal to you, do they fit in with the theme, are they a good fit to the story?
game-play- x/15- Is this something with replay value, is it addicting, is it something that is was worth playing?
overall- x/20- How do you feel about this game as a whole?
Judge Total- x/95- The judge grading this must add up the above total to get one grand Judge Total.
Judge Bonus- x/10- First-person (same as last year, just want to add it in as I think it is a cool bonus) (The bonus must enhance the game, if you just put it in, but it adds no value to the overall feeling towards the game, then the bonus will not count).

Master Judge Rubric:

Master Total- x/105j- j=number of judges- Master Judge adds up all of Judges' score to get one grand master total.
Master Bonus- x/10j- j=number of judges- Master Judge adds up all of Judges' score to get one grand master bonus total.

The deadline is April 21st Central Standard Time. Also, no re-releasing games you made already for this tournament. Judge week, if needed, will be from the 22nd-28th, and the award ceremony will be 29th-30th if there is one.

If you want to be a judge, say so on this topic, or pm me, or if you see me on chat, you can tell me on there. Judges, do not release scores at all and do not judge until judge week.

Have fun and get started! :D
