Not overly, but can be discussed. If they stay it always gives you 2 votes in similar categories, thoughts?

Nomination threads will go live around 2pm tomorrow, keep your eyes peeled to be one of the first 25.

The first 15 category nomination threads will open from 2pm today and will run for 7 days days with 1 nomination per FISOer, and a maximum of 25 nominations in total. If less than 10 nominations have been made by 2pm Sunday an extra 1 nomination will be avaliable per FISOer from 2pm Sunday till 2pm Tuesday. If less than 25 nominations have been made by 2pm Tuesday FISOers may then make a further third nomination for the last 24 hours until 2pm Wednesday.

It's like giving as many spots to Australasia in the Footy World Cup as you give to Europe....
I actually agree.

Instead of 2 going through from each category I will base progression on number of nominations.
However at least one will progress from each category.
I will add up the total number of nominations over all categories and base qualifiers on the percentage of nominations per category to the overall number of nominations. it will be clearer once nominations have ended.

Some comments if you would.

My plan is to have everyone pm me 8 picks, those 8 that they think will go the furthest. And selecting one as their 'JOKER' which will score double points (the one they believe will win the whole thing of course).

The trouble is what scenes people think will do well may sometimes not be their actual favourite scenes. and therefore influence their voting, ie. they will vote for the selections they have predicted will do well instead of the ones they actually like and it will result in the winner/last 2/last 4/last 8 being the ones they think will be the most popular and not the actual 'best' scenes. If you get what I mean.

Any suggestions how I can avoid tactical voting?

I believe barry means great cinematograpy(spelling?), wow factor, lighting, effects, timing, uniqueness, chorigrophy(spelling? thick day), how hard it must have been to do/create.
baz could elaborate?

I am quite open to scenes put into this category as it is all a matter of opinion.

sorry, just seen this, I was thinking about the one-take shot from Goodfellas - it's not about what said, or shown it's how it's done

Re: **Movie Scenes WC ANNOUNCEMENT - LAST DAY FOR NOMS

Post by Dixon »

You have until 2pm today to get your movie scene nominations in (see the 'glaring omissions' thread - 8 spots left as of now).

Once all nominations are in and our lists are complete (267-275 scenes in total) this afternoon I will open the Predictions Game thread where you'll simply pm me your choice of 8 nominations that you think will go the furthest and there's a prize for the winner..... Stay tuned.

Re: **Movie Scenes WC - Discussion thread

So here's how the WC will shape up.

Voting has commenced on the first 4 categories and these 4 will run for 5 days.
Then the next 4 for 5 days and so on.
Voting should take 20 days give or take.
If there are any ties in the voting ie. a category has 3 qualifiers but 3rd 4th and 5th are equal on votes then a seperate poll will open.

Once we have our final 32 we will see 8 groups of 4 scenes with 2 progressing to the last 16.
Each category winner will be seeded so we will have 2 category winners in each of the 8 groups.
The other 16 will be drawn randomly.
It will be a simple vote for your favourite of the 4 scenes. With 2 progressing. Any ties then head to head polls will run.

For the final 16 scenes from the same group cannot draw each other.
For the Quarters onwards anyone can draw anyone.

I will devise a draw system and ask some a/some volounteers to assist me at each stage.

Now the voting stages have started go vote!

Been there, done that. Cancelled competitions in the past due to severe lack of numbers.

However, it isn't about how many enter or how many vote, it's about doing things for the common good. I'll be running my snooker competition in about a month's time & I've got 5 days to set it up & get loads of entries in. Whether or not lots of FISO-ers enter doesn't really matter. The competition will still go ahead. (And yes, I only had 3 entries for my Fantasy American President game)

IMO the strength of FISO (besides those people that always win TFF or SDT) is the other things that happen round here, whether it's the jokes that make you spit coffee over you keyboard at work, or the more serious discussions that take place. If people choose not to enter competitions or not to vote, that's their loss.
