SECONDARY CONTEST

The Secondary Contest is a controller/peripheral only contest. Open to any one. The secondary contest will abide by the same rules and regulations as the main contest, as outlined below.
 

The contest will begin  1/13/12 and will end on 3/30/12 this is ample time for you to order and build your modded console. Good luck to everyone. After the contest is over there will be a public poll to determine the winner. All participants will remain anonymous so there is no favoritism.

So pumped for this mod off! However it kinda sucks that the people that enter both contests will have a better chance of winning the main because their secondary points will carry over. So even if there is a obvious better mod done in the main contest they could still lose, kinda a bummer but whatever the admins decide is final. Thanks for having another modoff AM!

they must enter both contests to win the main prize, and if you look at the point structure there are less points for the secondary contest.

Ahhh ok I think I got ya, so is it even possible for someone to enter the secondary contest and main seperately? Like if you do a controller and console for the main you pretty much entered in the secondary as well, correct?

Can you explain how exactly the scoring will work? Does one vote on the secondary = one vote on the primary ??

they must enter both contests to win the main prize

does this mean that you have to enter the console comp, and then also enter the controller comp, or does one entry count for both?

to enter the main contest (a console mod) you must enter a controller in the secondary contest.  The secondary contest is more less to help support the costs of the main.


so if you want to win the psp vita, you must mod  one console and one peripheral.


If you dont want to mod a console, just enter the secondary contest with one controller.

Whats the deal with naming the topics, is it resticted to your number? since I can see some others have put worklog ect.
I think we should be able to put a 1 word name for your project, I think that will make it easier for people to follow their favourite projects rather than remembering the entrants numbers.

What's wrong with people keeping updated on how everyone is doing? :P However, I do understand what you're saying. Format (#0000 - Project Name)?

To add what exactly? In the last mod off the admins made the original topic and then modder eventually got to post their updates in their own threads. When it first start though it was only the admins that could update the work log.
