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.
Well seriously .It, why miss out on a shirt and pin that isn't tradeable right? Enter people!
I do!
Agreed! It is NOT fair for VFK to change the judging criteria in the middle of a competition for petes sake!
I feel very sorry for those players that put their heart and soul into this competition. And built based on the ORIGINAL THEME AND RULES! I hate to say it, but I am glad my heart wasn't into it this year... and I am glad I didn't bust my rear for hours on end for this. I am perfectly content with just... entering. That is just a terrible update. They should have just considered it for next year!!
I haven't been around, so I haven't even had a chance to look at the new judging form. I was done, and well ... thought it was done! I guess I didn't even realize that VFK had changed it! I just assumed they were just allowing more rooms to be judged was all, I just scanned the new post. Not a change in form and criteria. wow, just wow VFK.
