2009 Snarry Mixed Games are about to begin!

2009 Snarry Mixed Art and Fic Games are about to begin!


The 2009 Snarry Mixed Art and Fic Games will officially begin posting tomorrow morning, on August 1, 2009.


We will post TWICE a DAY, one entry per team - CAULDRON & SNITCH, until all the entries are in: 100 in total!

At the end of it all, we will allow approximately one week for the judges to have time to catch up on their voting for the Games entries. After that, we take the polls down, and the mods will begin the count. During the voting Hiatus, there will be more entertainment, stay tuned.

**There will be NO DAILY POSTS at our Livejournal community.

However, we have a Livejournal RSS FEED over there that people can watch for real time updates. We will be cross posting weekly RECAPS at Livejournal as well.

SPECTATOR/JUDGES POLL/Rules & Regulations


WHO CAN VOTE: Everyone who is a spectator and has an insanejournal or OpenID.

You can only vote once per entry, but you can go in and change your original vote right up until the polls are locked for the final tally (just click on the poll, then click again on "Fill Out Poll", which will give you your previous numbers). Only you can see your votes while logged in.


Please vote responsibly. The mods work very hard counting all the polls when the time comes, and we do not appreciate the extra time it takes to delete Null votes. Thank you.


WHO CANNOT VOTE:

CURRENT Team Cauldron and Snitch Members and Alternates, Snarry Games Mods, and spectators who do NOT have a Insanejournal account or OPenID (IJ does not support anonymous voting). However, anyone can review and comment! And pimp. Pimp your favourites and your teammates' entries far and wide!



**IMPORTANT NOTE** The first two questions or 'technical' and should be judged impartially. You can find an entry not to your personal tastes, but still appreciate that it was well representing of its genre(s) and/or prompt(s). Be fair when you consider these criteria, and judge accordingly. The last question is subjective; How much did *YOU* like this entry overall?. This is a style category, and where your personal tastes and preferences become part of the judging process.
You can also choose NOT to vote on every question - please see below.

Frequently Asked Questions

---

1. HOW DOES THE POLL WORK?

Each entry will have its own poll, and it will look like this:

Poll #3982 Team/Artist or Author - Prompt(s); Genre(s)
Open to: All, results viewable to: None

On a scale of 1 to 9 (9 being the highest), how well did this entry represent its PROMPT(s)?

On a scale of 1 to 9 (9 being the highest), how well did this entry represent its GENRE(s)?

On a scale of 1 to 9 (9 being the highest), how much did YOU like this entry overall?

The polls will remain open for up to one week after the last entry is posted. The polls will then be CLOSED FOR COUNTING.

Each entry will have its own average (Average is: a value that is computed by dividing the sum of a set of terms by the number of terms) i.e.:

#1 Team Snarry Entry

Prompts: Average vote = 7/9
Genres: Average vote = 6/9
Overall: Average vote = 9/9

Each average will then be CONVERTED to POINTS:

Grand Total = 22 points out of a possible 27.

#2 Team Snarry Entry

Prompt: Average vote = 5/9
Genres: Average vote = 5/9
Overall: Average vote = 7/9

Grand Total = 17/27 points

Total Points (cumulative) for Team Snarry, TWO ENTRIES = 39/54. And so on...

Grand Total possible points for either Team is 1350.

Whichever team has the highest point total WINS THE GOLD MEDAL of SNARRY!


*IMPORTANT NOTE* Because we use this system, it is possible and allowable for you to skip a question, if you wish to or do not feel confident judging specific criteria.


2. Do you warn for character death or extreme content?

The Snarry Games warns for character death, under 18 and extreme content. This year, due to our new Genres, we will also warn for HET and NON-SNARRY explicit pairings. We simply use a format where the warning is invisible, like this:

Warnings: Drag mouse over space if you wish to know: * Major character death. Torture. Extreme violence, explicit Harry/Ginny. *

This way the viewer is not spoiled for contents. Please HEED these warnings, and do not force yourself to look and vote on an entry you would normally not want to see.

We wish both Teams the best of luck in their battle to win GOLD.
