Plot Wars I: Summer Edition!

Hey builders!

The spring wind exhales a final breath. The cool gentle breeze rolls over the hills, washing over blades of grass as the sun slowly crept up from the horizon. The temperature begins to rise and the clouds start to clear. School begins to shut its doors, and unless you are one of the few people living in the southern hemisphere, summer is here!

Following the conclusion of the Theme Parks build competition, we have decided to do something a little different. Welcome to the first plot world based competition in 2 years!

Plot Wars - Summer Edition!



The way this works is simple. The style is similar to that of a tournament, and there will be 4 total plot world build competitions (once a week). One of the four themes would be chosen at random, and build the selected theme in a 30x30 plot for 45 minutes + 15 minute flexibility. There will be a leaderboard, and whoever accumulates the most points over the tournament wins!



To commend you for your hard work, talent, and participation, prizes will be awarded to the overall winner and round winners!

Round Winners: 2 extra maps and $5 to spend in the Brawl store!

Overall Winner: $15 to spend in the Brawl store along with the special build contest winner medal!





To join, connect to MinecraftBuild.com and type in /map 411768 to join the competition. You will then be permed as HELPER. You may work in teams of 2 if preferred, but no more than that. Don’t worry if you cannot make it to all the competitions, your scores will still be counted.


Dates & times to the competitions:

• June 9: 4 pm UTC
  
• June 16: 6 pm UTC
  
• June 23: 8 pm UTC
  
• June 30: 10 pm UTC

On the day of the competition, a theme from the following will be chosen at random.

• Oasis
• Treehouse
• Tropical
• Summer Cottage

• Plagiarism is not allowed; including copying other players’ builds from other worlds/plots with WorldEdit.
  
• Do not build anything that would be considered inappropriate or vulgar.
  
• You may not use old creations that you built previously, and may not paste in any builds.
  
• You may not leave the map/server at any time (unless you provide a good explanation).
  
• Build specific rules and general rules still apply.
  
• You may not use schematic importing. Your contest entry must be made by you (and/or your team) on the map.
• Build in your plot and only your plot.
  
• Do not grief other people’s builds.

Failure to comply with these rules will result in disqualification or further punishment.



Here are the criteria in which the build submission will be judged:

Originality - How creative and individual the submission is.
Detail - The attention to detail, how well the build is executed, how much effort is put in, etc. (please do not over-detail, ie: spamming stairs and slabs - this is not what we mean by detail)
Look - The overall look of the submission; everything flows well and builds complement each other.

Each criterion is marked from a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the least, and 10 being the best. Each build team member will rate each criterion, and the average ratings for each criterion will be shown. The sum of average marks of each criterion will be added up to determine the rankings/winners (the more overall points, the higher the ranking).

Tiebreaker: If two (or more) builds have the same overall points, the build team members would then vote on who they believe should be first/second, etc. If a tie arises again, further discussion will take place.



The website for the leaderboards can be found here.

Spoiler: Current Rankings

How to score points:
Over the competitions, you will be awarded points that will eventually be tallied up to calculate your final score and the final rankings.

First place: 10 pts
Second place: 9 pts
Third place: 8 pts
Participation: 5 pts

 

Of course! For clarification (sure you know this already), you will receive ratings but it will not count towards anything.
