Okay, if you are reading this, hopefully you are a judge for the TUAC 2016 competition, and not a comment stalker XD
Judges include: @Aquasplash, @Csoup, @Forever-, and @Bubblebomb
If you are a judge, please follow this forum so you can be notified when someone posts something.

First order of business.
'The Golden Button.' Based off of Britain's Got Talent, we have a new feature in TUAC 2016 where judges can give a ‘Golden Button’ to contestants for rising above a task. These can be given out as much as you want, but try to limit the amount of people.
Second order of business.
What should the first challenge be? I was thinking a Fathers Day themed drawing, but what do you guys think? Should we kick it off with something more general like a freedraw?

Oh, and here's the original schedule I planned, just for reference. https://justpaste.it/t7z4 (THIS IS NOT A FINAL SCHEDULE, ONLY A DRAFT)

So.. yeah! What do you think?

OH and last order of business, how should we make the teams? Randomly?

Thanks for reading! Scratch on! ^^

The schedule looks great! And I love the celebratory week! I just can't shake off the feeling that I can't win this time. Also, I think I've earned a poly-art request still from last contest.

ALSO:
As for the teams, I think we need to find a number of people divisible by 4, then do “pick random” blocks for each person, 1-4. Once we get the right amount of people on a team, we take them out of the picking. Or we could find a different online number generator.

Here's a step by step if you don't get it.

1. Find a number of qualifying people that can be divided equally to each judge.
2. Go through the list one at a time (of each person), and use a random number generator for them (1 through 4). This decides what team they're on.
3. If the limit of team members is reached, take a number out of the generator, and reassign if necessary.
4. Repeat until all qualifying members have a judge. Make sure the teams are equal.

Sidenote:
We should make sure to (on each challenge) emphasize that the entry only counts if it's a remix. But should we also count if if they direct a link of it to us?

1. Thanks! Well, technically, your team could win, making you a winner xD
2. Great idea! But I just don't feel like that would make all the teams completely fair though.. Like better artists might be on one team, when another team is made up of only beginner artists.
3. Hmm, well, personally, I think it should only count if it's a remix, because if you're truly dedicated to the contest, you'd remix.
Thanks for all the suggestions!

I totally get it! I just don't understand how you've been picking everyone for all the teams now. But is everyone chosen now, or do you need help? And are the team leaders also going to be managers for the studios, or is TUACOfficial only going to? I'm fine with WHATEVER, you are the boss. And I'm confused about the new last minute info project. I need more details. Sorry!

Oh, random idea. Should we hold contests for our specific teams for a studio thumbnail, or…

Actually, that's too complicated. That'd mess things up. We should design our own studio team logos.

Ooooh

Alright. Yeah, Life is really crazy RIGHT before the summer, but HOPEFULLY we can immerse ourselves…. *falters* Oh. I think I'll be gone for a week. But only one. 0.0'

But yeah. I am SO sorry for bothering you and polluting this forum with me, but could I get run-trough. I wish there was some… training camp or something for being a judge. So… I get the golden buttons. The team leader awards… kind of make sense to me. And so… each team leader gives points to their contestants for each project? Does it have to be below the amount for making it in 1st-5th place? Or do those just give extra points?

I feel like I just need the whole puzzle put together.

Yeah it's fine lol okay so I never expected to get this many entries, so calculating all the individual points will be hard. I think I'll take care of the 1st-5th places (but we will all decide on them together) but if they don't place, they each get 5 points.

Okay so I've realized this WAY too late but you other judges don't really do much.. SO i've decided that for Art Fart Week we'll all decide on the winners x3

Yeah xD I'm a failure.

Okay. So. How much many points would be reasonable for an award, and what awards should there be? x3

Okay. So… Team awards.

(Also, I haven't noticed any activity from other judges. They haven't been on this forum, it seems. But you'd probably know best what's going on.)

Oh, umm I think Squiggles is keeping up with it but just not saying anything directly xD and Csoup is at camp so.. x3

There should be a “Team Spirit” award. I know who I'm giving that to. *sneaky, sneaky* There could be a… “Most Entries” award. I only typed that because I no longer have ideas and it's a possibility. But that might go to the same person on my team.

Oooh yeah! I think both are great!
So.. List of awards:
1. Team Spirit
2. Most Entries

And as for the points.. Maybe 70 points per entry?

Per entry or per award? Also… I think an award for… uh……… Hm…………… creativity? I DON'T KNOW. 3 is the magic number.
