Conservapedia:Team contest

Conservapedia's team contest will be friendly competition between two teams of our best editors.

NOTICE: EACH TEAM NOW HAS ITS OWN CONFIDENTIAL NAMESPACE, TEAM1 AND TEAM2.

Contestants in our team contest: go to your confidential namespace (Team1:Players or Team2:Players) and help identify who you would like to fill the remaining two spots on your teams.

Need to pick judges

We need to pick about 3 or 5 judges to award the points. Let's pick from Sysops who are not on a team. Both sides should agree on the judges.--Aschlafly 19:37, 8 July 2007 (EDT)

Geo.plrd says on his user page that he would like to judge. He would be an excellent choice. BenjaminS, CPWebmaster, and TerryH are all great candidates too. ~ Sharon^Talk 20:46, 8 July 2007 (EDT)

Great choices, all of them. As the captain of Team1, Joaquin's approval will be necessary. Joaquin, your view please?--Aschlafly 21:21, 8 July 2007 (EDT)

It is fine for us. --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 00:23, 9 July 2007 (EDT)

Good. Shall I invite them? ~ Sharon^Talk 06:29, 9 July 2007 (EDT)

Rules

Two captains will be chosen from among our top users, and they will take turns adding members to their team, until they have seven team members beside themselves. They will invite users to join their team, and if the user accepts, they become part of that team. Records of the team members will be kept at Conservapedia:Team contest/Team one and Conservapedia:Team contest/Team two.

When the teams have been chosen, they will compete for one week to gain the most points by doing the best work on the site.

Rules

1. Two Sysops shall be chosen (with their consent) to serve as captains.
2. The captains will then begin a "draft" of players for their teams. They will take turns asking users to join their team. If the user declines, the captain may choose another user. If he accepts, the user will become part of his team, and the other captain will have a turn to pick a user. This process will repeat until each team has seven members aside from the captain.
3. A panel of judges shall be chosen from among the Sysops who have not been chosen to compete.
4. The contest will begin, and the teams will compete for one week, striving to make the best contributions to the site. They will keep a record of their work on a page set aside for that purpose.
5. A team shall not work on any pages which the other team is working on.
6. When the contest is closed, the judge will decide the winner using the scoring system below. The team with the most points will win.
