Carrington388's CaC Contest--"The Apprentice" Style

[Carrington388]

I will need 10-18 players, experience level does not matter at all, to enter this contest that will play a lot like the TV show "The Apprentice". You will sign up to be on one of two teams, your pick. Each round will have a different theme. After each round, I'll judge each group, and the group with the worse cards overall will go to the boardroom, where one member of the losing team will be eliminated. If, at any time, one team would have two members more than another, the team with the extra members will have to send someone to the other team to even up the numbers. Each round will have the same basic rubric, with some variations in each round.

Here's the basic rubric. It dates all the way back to Wizards, back to dkates's contests.

Name--3 points.
Picture--3 points.
Type(s)--5 points.
HP--5 points.
Weakness/Resistance--5 points.
Retreat Cost--5 points.
Pokemon Power/Attacks--30 points. No more than three per card.
Rarity--3 points.
Explanations--8 points. May sound harsh, but it helps to explain not only how the card works, but why mechanics are what they are.
Strategy--8 points.
Basic Rubric Total--75 points.

[dragonspy900]

Count me in.Put me in Team Fire

 

[Sunflorazumarill]

Okay. I'm here to join the Grass Team.

 

[Metal Master]

So is there more than one judge?

I guess I'll be on Grass. Wish there was water.

 

[Carrington388]

No, I'll be judging both teams.

 

[shiny squirtle]

sign me up for team grass

do we work as a team on the card?
can we make up pokemon or just make already existing ones

 

[pichaque]

Put me under Team Fire! BTW, can the cards be pictures too? I don't expect any bonus points, just find it easier.

 

[Carrington388]

No, each person makes their own card. The average of the scores for the team will decide who goes to the boardroom.

Image fakes are allowed pending I can load it easily. If I can't load it easily, I'll PM you and ask for either text or a different web location.

 

[Emerald Dragon Rayquaza]

ill join [g]

 

[Cardzmaster2004]

I'll join up on Team Fire.

 

[Scribble]

and the group with the worse cards overall will go to the boardroom, where one member of the losing team will be eliminated.

Erm, I don't understand. Do you mean "go to the boardroom" as make a seperate topic in the RTC and vote one person off?

Oh, and sign me under Team Grass.

 

[Ancient Pokemon Trainer]

I'll be under Team Grass...

 

[BEX]

[lunatone_solrock]

Grass, please.
I want to be as close to Scribble as possible.

 

[Ancient Pokemon Trainer]

Grass, please.
I want to be as close to Scribble as possible.

lol that is the same exact reason I signed up for Team Grass. Plus Sunflorazumaril is a good CaCer to.

 

[DragonairMaster8]

I'll take team grass. (I might be a n00b, but I can be pretty good at these.)

 

[Metal Master]

Now as long as BT, Penguin Master, Lorak, etc. don't join Team Fire, Team Grass should have an advantage.

 

[ZoraJolteon]

[DragonSol]

Cool
