General Rules for the New Years Tournament:

1. Brackets will be posted the 31st and the tournament will officially start Jan 1st, 2012.

2.
Once the Round has started you have 1 month to get into contact with me or a judge/co-coordinator to receive your song. You will have 72 hours from the moment you receive your song to turn it in. You and your opponent do not need to receive your songs at the same time nor do you need to edit at the same time. For example: If A and B are competing and A decides to start Jan 3rd at 2 PM then they have to turn in their vid by Jan 6th at 2 PM but B can receive song on Jan 12th at 5 PM and must turn it in by Jan 15th at 5 PM.

3. Because I listen to nearly every genre of music you may be given "weird" songs. Do not complain about the song you get.

4. All video source is accepted, if it fits the song you were given then use it.

5. You can only use an anime/source once in the tournament so choose wisely.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Judging Rules for the New Years Tournament:

1. All vids will be judged by BG, the winner of the previous year and any other judges to be decided later.

2.
Do not complain when you lose. We are affiliated with several groups
but do not play favorites. If your vid is better in our eyes then you
will win, simple as that. If you complain too much you will be banned
from entering the tournament next year and possibly even further
depending on the severity.

3. Vids will be judged on quality, beat/lyric sync, enjoyment and overall.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prize: 1st Place = 100 USD

They say that "second place is the first loser", we believe that.

Sure, PM me and we'll talk.

I didn't really participate in the previous competition, but hell, I'll give this one a shot.

I'm in the hole

Sounds fun sign me up

My username is WolframLuv, and I would like to join the tournament. Thanks.

Shit, I guess I am to late now...

I'll add you to even the numbers out.

Quick question.

Should we PM you or message you on MSN to get our songs?

Also, should we post our videos on YouTube?

(Sorry if you've already answered these questions in the rules.)

ah shit, i hope i'm not too late

i'd like in if possible, but it's cool if you can't, i couldn't get on here until tonight so...whatever.

Yep, you're just a bit too late. You can sign up for the 2013 tourney though that won't start until a year from now. However, if someone drops in round 1 I'll add you instead.

Either works. MSN = Compbros

I would advise against it until your opponent receives their song unless you wanna be at a disadvantage. For example, say you ask for the song on the 7th and up it on the 10th, your opponent can then get the song and edit it to their hearts content and wait till like the 25th to officially receive the song giving them almost 3 weeks worth of editing time.


Edit:

With the low amount of entries I'm trying to work out some type of double elimination thing with a "loser's bracket" and a bunch of other stuff. I'm trying to think of how to do this fairly but if I can't come up with something by Friday then we'll just run a straight tourney and I'll post the brackets and we can officially start.

Double Posting, don't care. Here's the bracket.

You have until Feb 13th to get your song.

Oooooh, double elimination... sounds fun as hell...

I'll probably be receiving my song next friday the 20th, just a lil heads up, i'm not quite ready to start editiing yet

My vid is done... Did this in about 4 hours haha

I guess I'm going to have to eventually figure out a time. I wish there was more people.
