From the front page again: JUDGE ANOTHER SET OF 40 ROOMS
Even More Judging the Judges - Second Annual Sandcastle Competition 2011
There have been a lot of suggestions that the judging be expanded to include more rooms!
There have also been a lot of suggestions to include some additional categories in the judging becuase of the enormous amount of creativity shown in the design of the rooms!
Building Sandcastles are all about the expression of creativity and the development of themes, settings and ambience, so categories have been added to the judging to especially include these elements of design!
So, what could be better than to combine these two great ideas and expand the Sandcastle Competition Judging!
For those who would like to have the chance to judge more of these amazing rooms, and also have more categories to choose from in their judging, just select the Judge option under the Menu and there will be 40 more rooms to judge!
As before, for each 10 rooms that are judged, there will be an award for judging! This will make it possible to receive 2 of each of the special judging awards!
Anyone else have a real problem with this??? (Probably not).
I judged on myself and on a clone (yes, I entered; after having my arm twisted by Astro, hehe). My daughter judged (yes, she begged me to let her enter her room) -- these were all done using the old form. This morning I log on Hero to do his judging: and of course I see a totally different rating form.
Sorry, but this just STINKS!!! There is NO justification in my mind for changing the judging categories/ratings system with 24 hours left to go. I am sure MOST people did their judging already, using the 2-category system. NOW they are gonna change the form and allow more judging? NOW that are gonna add a category for "use of color and fantasy"
? Ummm...there is no color in sand castles, sand is BROWN. These judging criteria should have been released BEFORE PEOPLE MADE THEIR CASTLES!!!!! <--- so they could consider "use of color and fantasy" whilst building?
And, OK, the can change the rating form mid-stream, but they can't add a button that says "this is blinkin' storage room and should have NEVER been allowed to be entered in this SAND CASTLE competition" -- come on!
Yet another HUGE let-down from VFK; this is just really, really awful in my opinion! But of course, I am sure I will be in the minority; reasonable-ness seems to be in the minority, which is why VFK continues to mess things up!
SIGH.
