Hey Hammers. I sent mine in a couple of weeks ago, but my name doesn't appear on the list. It was originally sent on 10th June at 21.17.I've tried resending the email again.

There are 15 on the list AND I have checked my e-mails. So far nothing.
Added to that I sent my picture after Hammer's E-Mail.

Me worried!
All that work & it might not even get in. :?

Thanks Hammers for doing all the heavy lifting on the admin side of the BSC!  I'm disappointed that I won't get a chance to vote for your frozen lake but hope that you'll be showing it off to us in due time. ;)

I received my confirmation email and am excited that I'll be able to see the other entries soon :)

Good Afternoon Hammers,

Unfortunately work commitments have completely scuppered my attempt and I feel that as there are an even number of entrant's listed it would be best for me to continue working on my piece and show when it is of a suitable quality to compete with some of the excellent work I've seen from others.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's builds and voting!

Thank you to Hammers for taking the time to organise the BSC2021!

Don't know if I can still vote or not? - If anyone could let me know that be great, either way.

Cheers.

Just imagine the words "don't panic" in large, friendly letters. Deadlines exist for a reason but I think it's exceedingly rare for people to get kicked out from LAF challenges due to tech issues. I assume there will be a final glance at these threads before anything really launches. :)

I am 'listed' BUT
15 listed & Hammers says pictures from 14 !!!!!!
His E-Mail was BEFORE I sent my E-Mail.
Whilst my E-Mail has not been bounced back, I  have not had an E-Mail
to confirm it has arrived.
Nothing in my Spam folder either.

Yes I am panicking.

I don’t have any expectation of winning BSC ... fun fact I normally get knocked out in the first round by the eventual winner ... from my perspective, the main thing is I’ve got some more terrain built that is relevant to my ongoing project, so it’s all good  :)

Thank god I'm not the only one! I've got to admit, panic was setting in! Finding the list a few hours before the deadline and finding out I wasn't on it, did worry me!

Yep, my goal was to...build something and I did exactly that so everything has been accomplished already. :D

I also hope to get knocked out early just to avoid taking any further photos. The mess in here has spiralled completely out of control. Nevermore. lol

(Didn't get any confirmation yet but I trust Hammers and his magic potato 100%.)

List of entries updated. There has been one case of an entry being sent in but not appearing in the bsc2021@tsome.com box.

Please make a final check that you have received an response from me.

I'll start working on the matches tomorrow.

Hey!

I think that you chaps deserve at least a status update. Yesterday I made sure all entries were accounting for, today I have made sure the file names are uniformly formatted and named (something I should have asked you all to do yourself). All contestants have been entered in an Excel-sheet and assigned a random number.

I am, however now at a bot of an inpass as I am not sure how to group y'all. I'd like to do knockout-rounds like last year but 21 (more than last year, very cool!)  is an odd number and should I group you in threes, will just move the problem till next round which would be the odd 7 left to battle our the second round...

So I think we'll have to do things a bit differently this year. Last year, when we 4 knockout rounds voters showed declining interest as the competition dragged on over 4 weeks. I think I'll put your entries in three groups of 5 and one group of 6 and let the one winner from each group proceed to knock out rounds for the next two rounds. That means the voting will take place over a total of three weeks till we get one winner. This is not 100% fair to the group which will have 6 contestants but I assure you that this unfairness will be radom (like much in life).

I leave this there for you to peruse till tomorrow. Feel free to comment!

Hello, Hammers,

Your plan sounds good to me!  As far as I'm concerned, I'm already a winner as this contest encouraged me to build the terrain piece in the first place, and the encouragement from the LAF community kept me motivated to finish it.  So now I have the terrain to use in a game, just in time for pandemic restrictions to be lifted!
 Whether I'm placed in a pool of 5 or 6 is hardly the point.

However, I will repeat the question I put on the 'Announcing..." thread:
"I stopped updating my build thread after I started painting.  However, I did a fair amount of building after the painting started.  After Hammers posts the photos of the contest entries, can I update my build thread to describe and show photos of aspects of the build that I did after painting started?"

@hammers - this being my first BSC and not wanting to overstep but i just spent over an hour with my kid trying all kinds of alternative brackets and think that 3 groups of 7 in the first round could work.  The key to this scheme is that the final round would be 3 participants in a kind of “medal” round for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place finish (like olympics).  Think racing heats not knock-out brackets.  Heat 1 = 3 groups of 7 with the top 4 from each group advancing. Heat 2 = would be 3 groups of 4 with the top 1 advancing to the “medal” heat for 1st,2nd,3rd finish.  It’s still 3 rounds of voting with 12 making it past the first stage.
Just something to consider.  This was fun exercise.  I will gladly accept whatever your decision may be.

I too am just happy to be in the competition. Thanks to Hammers
who calmed my 'Am I in or am I not in?' jitters.
I thought pistolpete's idea was a good one, but
I don't mind whatever is decided.
Just soooooooo happy.  :D :D :D

Post by: Daeothar on June 24, 2021, 05:52:43 AM
I'm ok with either suggestion. Hammers'  option is the more traditional, while pistolpete's is more in line with the current European Football Championships, and I find there's something to say for both options, though I'm slightly leaning towards pistolpete's idea.

But others might have stronger opinions, of course  ;)

This has some nice symmetry to it.

I think that if we're doing just 3 rounds, it narrows too fast if we're going for a 2 competitor final or especially 4 competitor semifinals. Very few entries will be show twice, which is a bit of a shame. We can handle (and want to see) more than that per round.

A few possible configurations starting from three initial groups of 7 entries each:


But anything goes. I just want to see the entries. I've already had to replace the refresh button on my keyboard once. lol
