  • Scoring system encourages members to enter as many competitions as they can

Q&A

  1. Can I try out the competition at any stage?  You can enter the competition at any stage during 2010.  As a guest, you can enter one competition , but then must sign-up as a premium member to participate in the remaining competition rounds
  2. As a contestant, do I have to enter all the competition rounds?  No.  But note that the more you enter, the better chance you have of winning!
  3. How challenging will the competition be?  The competitions aim to be fun and test our member's skills and experience. 
  4. Can you provide more details about the competitions? For most of them, you just need to read the competition script and post your written response to the judges online.  Some contests (speech openings, speech endings), you need to view/listen to a video presentation to provide your written responses. 
  5. At what date will the competitions start and finish at each month? The competitions will start at the beginning of the month and closing date for contestant enteries will be the last day of the month.  So this gives the contestants time (at least 29 days) to provide their responses.
  6. When will the competition results be published?  Normally in the first week of the following month.
  7. How does the scoring system work? The scoring system is to encourage maximum particiapation from our members so they learn from this experience.  So the Scoring system will be as follows: 

 

Points awarded Details
2 Each contestant that enters the competition
4 10th
6 9th
8 8th
10 7th
12 6th
14 5th
16 4th
18 3rd
20 2nd
30 1st

 

One important note: 

  • the points awarded for 10th-1st place will be multipled by the number of competitions that contestant has entered. 
  • Example will help explain this: in April the contestant who comes first will get 30pts. 
  • In december's contest, the first place contestant who happens to have entered all competitions (that is 9 contests April-Dec) will be rewarded 270pts (30pts x 9 contests)

 

Good luck everyone!!!

  1. Why is this competition open to premium members only? We need to finance this competition to pay for the prizes and running costs.  It only costs $10 to be a premium member...more details
