GOALS
- An event that everyone can participate in, but
- Maintain a level of competitiveness which drives activity
- Improve forum activity without draining everyone for the next 3 months XD
TIMELINE
4 weeks of events. Different challenges may last for more than 1 week.
To occur in July
TEAMS
- Individuals sign up for PXFIRE and state which sections they are likely to participate in.
- At the end of sign ups, members are distributed semi-randomly into teams with an effort made to spread skill among the different sections.
- Where possible, each team will have the same number of members.
- Each team will have a leader and possibly coleader. Those interested in leading a team can indicate this on their sign up form. Team leaders will be chosen by the PXFIRE leaders.
- Once members are assigned to a team, the team works together to develop a name and theme. The leaders will be in charge of pulling it together and making sure their team is ready by the start date.
- Members who join after PXFIRE begins will be assigned randomly to a team, keeping the numbers as even as possible.
SECTIONS
- Challenges from the following sections will be included: drawing, graphic art, spriting, roleplaying, creative writing, comics, showdown battling, humour.
- Additional, random pop-up challenges offering only participation prizes may also be offered, such as puzzles or games.
- Some sections may run multiple challenges throughout the 3-4 week period and some may have only one challenge, etc.
JUDGING
- Judges should provide feedback to all participants after each challenge and must have a clear grading rubric.
- Judges will be assigned 100 points to distribute among the entries, with the best entry receiving the biggest share of points, etc. Each entry must receive at least 1 point, but it is otherwise up to the judge to distribute.
- Judging could potentially include other awards such as "people's choice", "most improved", etc.that do not give out any points, but that members can vote on as an extra thing so more people can get recognition.
- Judges cannot participate in their section, but will receive points for submitting their judging each week in a timely manner.
- Judges should submit their 4 week plan for their section (number of challenges, what each challenge is) before PXFIRE begins.
