If you know me, Sunflorazumarill, then you know that I contributed a lot of cards to a number of sets, but have rarely done any contests. I've recently gotten the urge to start one of my own. For this contest, I decided to make things a bit interesting and make it based around three villainous teams thought up by myself and Carrington388, Team Flora, Team Plasma, and Team Draco. For more information on them, check out these four particular sets. Now for this contest, there will be six rounds, each focusing on different aspects of Pokémon cards. The first round will have 20 contestants and at the end, the four that scored the lowest will be eliminated. If the contest reaches 20 contestants and I haven't checked, PM me to let me know. Since I don't have much experience as a judge, I'm going to ask people such as charmander-rox, meditite_rox, vandrake, and others to help me with the judging. Anyway, here's the rubric, which I copied from Shiny Noctowl's latest contest:

Picture (10 points)
5 - Description (Is the description of the card's picture satisfactory to visualize the illustration?)
5 - Relevance (Is the picture of a situation that the Pokémon could reasonably be expected to be in?)

Stats (25 points)
5 - HP (Is the HP an amount that is reasonable for the Pokémon's evolutionary stage and general strength?)
10 - Weakness/Resistance (Are the Weakness/Resistance to types that the Pokémon should be weak to/resist? Is damage increased/decreased by a reasonable amount?)
5 - Retreat Cost (Is the Retreat Cost reasonable for the Pokémon's size/weight and Speed stat?)

Poké-Power/Poké-Body (15 points) <optional>
5 - Relevance (Is the Poké-Power/Poké-Body an ability that the Pokémon could reasonably be expected to have?)
10 - Fairness (Is the Poké-Power/Poké-Body good enough, without being so good as to break the game?)
Note: This is extra credit, so a Poké-Power/Poké-Body doesn't have to actually be done.

Attacks
10 - Relevance (Could it be reasonably expected that the Pokémon would use the attacks on the card?)
20 - Fairness (Are the attacks good enough, without being so good as to break the game?

Total Points: 60

To join, simply post a card for this first set of guidelines.

Round 1: Flora, Plasma, Draco
It must be a full line.
It can't be LV.X.

ANOTHER contest? Cool, the CaC fourm sure is getting a workout with all this stuff here. :thumb:
