November Madness :: NBA Screenshot Tournament Sign-Ups

Postby bigh0rt on Sat Oct 28, 2006 8:52 am

November Madness!
NLSC NBA Screenshot Tournament
Sign-Up Here!

bigh0rt (that's me) will be holding an NCAA styled, single elimination 32-man screenshot tournament to be held right here in NBA Live 07 General Issues.

This, folks, is the sign-up, thread. First thing's first... the vitals/rules/regulations:

* You may submit a screenshot from any NBA video game on any platform (That's right.).
* Screens must be submitted of the size of exactly 800 by 600 pixels; no more, no less.
* Screens may NOT be Photoshopped, period.
* Sign-ups are first come, first serve. The first 64 people to complete the registration at the bottom of this thread (other than those I've already spoken to) and reply are in; any sign-ups after that will be allowed in if neither person in a matchup submits a screen and both are defaulted out of the tournament.
* Winners of matchups will be determined on an open balloted vote (meaning, not a poll; replying to a thread) where neither screen is attatched to its owner by name -- this will avoid people getting popularity votes, I hope). First to get 10 votes wins. If, at the end of two days, a matchup has not received 10 votes, whoever has received more will advance. In the event of a tie, I will be the deciding vote.
* Each round of advancing, contestants must submit a new screen for their matchup. Meaning, if you win your first round matchup, you must submit a new screen for your 2nd round matchup, and so on and so forth.
* Submissions must be sent to me via PM before the scheduled matchup. If a submission is not sent to me by the deadline, you will be automatically eliminated from the tournament.
* All of the above is subject to change, if I can think of good reason

Copy and Paste the following into a reply to this thread: (if the form is not filled out properly, your registration will not be applicable)

I want to keep it general. Take a screen from any game you're playing (NBA), do what you want with it (without giving away via text that it's your work), and let people vote on which they like more in matchups. I want to leave it up to you and your imagination as to what you do with it.

Sign up. What harm could come of it?

Because I wanted a standard size, and I settled on 800x600 because it's nice a big and shows the whole screen, and things of that nature.

So will there be a new screenshot for each person for each round, or does one screenshot go through all rounds? Just curious?

Allowing a pic to be photoshopped would allow people who are more skilled in that area to have an edge over the competition, unless everyone in the tournament has skills inthat area.

Since I have skills in that area, and it would give me an edge, then I like it. :lol:

Seriously, its not fair. People can put photoshopped pics in the screenshots section.

I would suggest a smaller seperate contest that REQUIRES a pic to be photoshopped. For instance, having one screen per round or matchup and then having the person with the best edited version advance to the next round.
