ShinyHubCaps Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Of course by Frenchie's reasoning, the jerseys would be like 5 bucks to cover travel costs .I guess that's the reason I never considered it to be like a beer league. Those are mostly concentrated in a single state. We have teams flying in from Hawaii and the Bahamas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampee Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'm actually reading a book called "Live From Cape Canaveral" and just read about Wally's textbook flight in Sigma 7.That flight was almost perfect. The spaceship landed 4.5 miles from the Navy ship picking it up, which was quite a feat. The only thing that went wrong was when Wally blew the hatch while on the deck of the ship, he injured his hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyHubCaps Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Round 1 voting is now complete.Let us take a look at the set-up for the finals:Triple Play Division: Plantation AnolesGrand Slam Division: Lansing IgniteHigh Heat Division: Amarillo Black GoldWild Card 1: Manchester IndustryWild Card 2: Scottsdale SalamandersWild Card 3: Honu of Hanauma BaySo everyone is clear, the wild cards were chosen by filtering the following criteria:-) most points overall-) most votes overall-) most first-place votes overall--> tiebreaker: most first- and second-place votes overallIn this particular instance, Scottsdale and Hanauma Bay were tied for most votes overall (39); as such, both teams make the wild card round and use the final filter only for seeding purposes (Scottsdale had more first-place votes 12 to 9).I know that there are differentials due to division strength, but I find that the filters often remove any such discrepancies. And no, this is not something that I am making up as I go along, but rather, it is a measure I had planned from the beginning of the contest but never announced until now.If you want to sport finalist signatures, then for the time-being, please use these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliott Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 In response to you previously saying that you didn't want another concept round for the finals, SHC, because you thought it would get too dragged out...I don't think that it's dragging it out at all. Obviously you planned differently, so I don't expect you to alter the process, but I think one more concept would provide some fresh material for the voters to go on, and crown 1 winner from the 6. I think of it like the NFL playoffs, the 6 seed could just squeek in after a shaky end to the season, but still come out in the playoffs with some awesome stuff and win it. I guess thats just my pov as one of the lower seeds, and fishheatcats or davidson might see it differently, but all 6 of us are talented designers and Im sure my peers wouldn't mind too much creating something else. So hopefully you at least take in mind what I said, it's just my two cents. Dribbble ... Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieRose Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Even though I didn't make the finals (by a bit of a long-shot), I just wanted to thank everyone who voted for me, and congratulate to other designers who made the finals. I wish you all the best of luck and I'll be looking forward to see who wins this. Hopefully we can all meet again in the Sports Identity Showdown II in the future!

So hopefully you at least take in mind what I said, it's just my two cents.I had certainly considered that, because it seems like people are just voting for the same thing again, but the voting will still take different shape because other concepts are out of the way. Of the 176 first-place votes, 58 of them (nearly 1/3) were not for any of the finalists. Assuming the same people vote, those votes will be dispersed among a lower concentration of contestants. So of course, the voting can still work out differently than the first round.Having said that, I would certainly consider that format for the next competition should there be one. It's obviously a lot to change the gameplan now, and a bit of a time investment (I would have to make sure everyone was in for two separate projects), but I do like the format. Maybe not when it is four rounds, but two rounds with two separate challenges is a nice touch, and I will consider it for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiB or someone else?I PMed WiB before starting, so I would say that is the route to go. It also helps that the mods stickied this topic, which I guess you can request once started.I have some other ideas for contests (SIS II, anyone?), but it probably won't be for a few months. Does it seem like people enjoy the built-from-scratch fantasy concepts more than rebranding pro teams? I hope that my future contests will be similar.Congrats to all the finalists(including me ). This contest was great. And I'll take 4th place out of , what was is 30, any day. Good job everyone!Close... there were 41 concepts altogether. By the way, I would really want to play for the Plantation Anoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
