Notice 01/03/17: The competition will no longer be hosted, due to circumstances outside of my control. I will not be back on the forums for some time, and I apologize deeply for it. Thanks to all who expressed interest first and foremost, and I look forward to the next time I host in the future. Take care, and thank you.

 

Ooooo Boy, guess who's back in the swing of things?! That's right, it's another CC feat. your main man, Major's Shadow! For the last time this year, Merry Christmas to all, as we look forward to very shiny things during New Years, including the NYC Time Square Ball Drop and fireworks! To celebrate, I'll be hosting a pre-celebration competition, in which entrants are tasked with creating a card featuring something VERY shiny!! Yes, I'm being serious.

 

 

[spoiler=Rules/Requirements]

- No Entry Cost Required! All entrants simply have to post in this forum and request admittance (or post an image/card text). However, if you would like to donate points, all donations will be used towards improving the overall winnings.

- Entry must be one Spell, Trap, or Monster card which features anything that is VERY shiny!! Doesn't really matter what the item is, so long as it is shiny. You cannot use custom Types or Attributes, or stats above 5000atk & def. Any further rules follow the standard YCM card tournament rules found here.

- Card entries must be placed in this forum post. I will not accept PM's for entry, as all players should be able to see the cards before reviewing. Also, if you decide to create an image for your card entry, you must use spoilers to hide the image and include the Lore of the card typed below the image.

- Edits will be allowed, however, you must edit your original post/entry! Do not create new posts/entries of your card when making edits. Any edits performed past the deadline below will not be included in judging. It's recommended to make notes on your original post whenever you make an edit.

- January 15th, 2017 @ 11:59PM Pacific Standard Time is the deadline. Entries beyond that will not be accepted.

 

[spoiler=Prizing]

Prizing is awarded based on the total number of entrants, as demonstrated below:

8 --> 16 --> 24...

1st: 300, 600, 900 points

2nd: 200, 400, 600 points

3rd: 100, 200, 300 points

 

 

[spoiler=Judging]

- PM me if you'd like to become a judge.

- Recommended to send a minimum of two cards you designed along with your PM. If you are credentialed as a judge by the Judge Test, then you will most likely be picked. You cannot use your card in this tournament as one of the two cards.

- If 3 or more judges enter, I will allow the judges to post their own entry, but a judge cannot place a rating on a card they made.

- 7 days after the CC ends is when all judges should provide their rubrics (either by posting on this forum post, or by personally PMing me, and I will post the results). If you can't make the deadline, PM me in advance! Anything beyond that will not be used. This may change depending on number of entrants. You can check the "Rubric" spoiler tab to see which format is expected

 

[spoiler=Rubric]100 Points Maximum for each card:

60 Points (Balance/Utility/Mechanic): Does the card fulfill the basic requirements of the competition? Is it relevant, fair, balanced and useful? If generic, how well does it work in other decks? Does it work too well, or not well enough?

35 Points (Creativity/Flavor): Does the card's effect fit stylistically with its stats, image (if applicable), and name? Does its design feel fresh and unique? If so, how?

5 Points (OCG): Does it follow current YuGiOh OCG/PSCT? Is its effect clear and easy to understand? Is the grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure correct?

Hi, there :)

I'd like to enter.

[The Frost King]

I guess I would like to enter too (I'm still a bit bummed out from getting last place in the recent monthly CC card contest)

I want to sincerely apologize to those looking forward to this competition, but I'm going to have to prematurely close this competition. Due to circumstances outside of my control, I will no longer be able to host/judge the competition, and will not be active on the forums. I hope you can all understand, as I will be back to be your host another day in the future. Thank you all so much, and take care.
