Mendo's Ongoing tourney

[mendokuse]

How it works: No signup required, make a card fitting the description of what I ask for, enter the card by the deadline(sunday), we judge on monday, results should be up monday night along with the next theme. You get points based on where you scored, everyone gets at least 1 point. There are bonuses and prizes sometimes so keep an eye out for them.

General Judging Criteria: Total-20
Quality-5: How the picture looks on visual based errors.
Text-5: Grammar, Similarity to Bandai's, proper use.
Effect-5: Is it balanced, worded right, makes sense.
Creativity-5: Is the pic over used, is the effect stolen from an existing card or completely from you head.
Creativity is the one thing that sets my tourney apart from the rest, trust me this small 5 pointer can help non-pro looking cards win.

Recently a lot of card making material has been released. There is no excuse for you guys to not be participating now. Please direct yourself to this link if you need to learn anything about card making or need materials. http://www.bandaicg.com/naruto/showthread.php?t=73445

Point Prize System: This is something I've been working on adding and now am, here's how it goes. You PM me what you want, be it make a card(don't include card info) or select theme(include the desired theme), on Mondays, judging day, I will go through and PM back 1 person for each thing. That is when you tell me what specifics you would want on your card. I am a busy person and there is only 1 theme per week. So I will only be accepting 1 request for each area. Whoever has the most points will win the rights for that week. Then points will be subtracted and you can expect your card within the week. In the case of the theme I will probably use it then and there.

Point Prizing:
14points- Mendo custom made card request
7points- Select Next weeks theme

Tally Prize System: Here's another new one for you guys to encourage participation. Each week starting from now on I will be keeping a tally of who participates weekly, your allowed to miss 1 week each month, if you miss more than 1 then you start from the beginning again. For every 5 tallys you get, you get 1 free prize choice. I know that seems like a lot compared to the points, but hey its free prizing for those who don't wanna spend points. Also if you simply can't win enough points cause you keep getting last, here's yur chance to score. You can see how many free prizes you have to use in the point board area. Free prizes apply to the same rules as point prizes do, only 1 wins. And its based on how many points you got.
