Plot Wars III - Winter Edition 2020

Hey Builders!

The season is changing, temperatures are dropping and ice is forming outside. We're beginning to enter the winter season, and as this dreadful year comes to a close, we thought we would end it with the best way we builders know how. A BUILD COMPETITION! :O

Without further ado, we would like to announce the 2020 Winter Plot Wars!



Plot Wars - Winter Edition!

This time around, instead of doing a multiple week tournament, we've decided to condense it all down to a 1 day competition. For those who do not know how this works, let me explain... It is a plot based build competition where builders compete on their own 30x30 chunk of land for the best and most unique design out of the bunch. Each participant will be assigned their own specific plot upon arriving, from there they will have approximately 1 hour to build anything they choose as long as it fits within the theme. After the hour of building passes, the competition will undergo a judging session where players from our staff team decide who has done the best. Each builder will be kept anonymous until the end in order to keep things fair. At the end, the players with the most votes wins!

• 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 judge 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 winners.

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