Contest Rules - Comments Welcome

Re: Contest Rules - Comments Welcome

Barbie,

I sent out an email same day as the TC that answers all your questions. I just sent it again. Let me know if you can't get it. I didn't want to post all the detail about the contest on the forums. It's a little like finding out how sausage is made....

We have 7 contestants confirmed, but I cut it off there. I have had several requests in the last 2 days for people to be on the waiting list.

The contest is 30 hours starting at 12 noon on Friday and ending at 6PM Saturday.

Anyone interested in being on the waiting list please email buzzwordsurvivor@gmail.com.

Re: Contest Rules - Comments Welcome

I would LOVE to know more about what's going on with this contest.... before FRIDAY would be nice!

I was on a plane for the con-call.... so I know very little still.

Questions:

1. Food/Beverage etc.... what's allowed, what's not
2. 30 Hours or 36???
3. How many contestants now?
4. Who are the speakers?
5. After the 24 hours are we still getting the DVD's?

Re: Contest Rules - Comments Welcome

Can contestants be delivered beverages and food?

My apologies if I ignored the obvious.

Re: Contest Rules - Comments Welcome

Any new info on this?

What about Food????? Bring your own? I can't imaging being able to run to the bathroom, grab food, and be back in 10 minutes.

What about the chairs?

Rules for standing, stretching, etc....? Also, what about acceptable things to be brought with?

yes more details on this would be great at this point. i just this doesn't turn into a last minute rush.

Re: Contest Rules - Comments Welcome

well i'm not sure on the number of people that signed up so far. when i inquired about this by e-mail with numbertwo, as of july 15 there area at least 7 people that have said they would do it. a couple days later i received another e-mail wanting to confirm.

so tonight i replyed to the e-mail a second time to make sure he got my info. apparently numbertwo is out traveling so i got an auto reply.

but at least on the up side. there will be people there to play and have fun. lets just hope that we don't loose anyone before the 24 hour mark.

Re: Contest Rules - Comments Welcome

Not a problem. We will be in the center of the contest area. If it's OK with Russ. it's OK with us.

Thanks :D. It will definitely be a much harder game now ;).

Caffeine isn't enough?!?

And thanks for the answers numbertwo. Need to consider it for a bit before I throw my hat in.

Still only 1 contestant at this point?

Still only 1 contestant. That's a lot of money for staying awake for 36 hours. Join the fun!

Hello, DC949 of the Open CTF contest here. We will be bringing plenty of sound gear, as is our tradition. We were wondering if it was a good thing for you or a bad thing for you if we play music at extremely loud levels... I assume this increases the difficulty but we understand if it is difficult enough.

Not a problem. We will be in the center of the contest area. If it's OK with Russ. it's OK with us.

Re: Contest Rules - Comments Welcome

speaking of testing... will you be drug testing anyone? i can't imagine people staying awake through 36 hours of shit as dull as vendor talks without tweaking or bumping up in the bathrooms during bladder breaks.

We won't have the lab on-site however, I think I will tweak the rules to say that anyone suspected of doping will get the same treatment Olympic athletes get. That's why I have the "all rulings by the judge are final and I can do anything I want" rule to cover stuff like this that we may not think of till the middle of the contest.
