**Movie Scenes WC - GROUP VOTING OPEN TILL SAT**

Post by Dixon »

So who's up for it?
Was planned for the Summer but if there's enough interest I can start early.

There will be (subject to change)

16 categories
Horror - Animation - Sci Fi - Drama - Thriller - Martial Arts - Comedy - Foreign Language
Romance - Fantasy - Action/Adventure - Childrens/Family - Gangster - War - Other - Bonus

The Other category will feature categories not covered ie. Chick Flicks, Road Movies etc + Films that are hard to specifically categorise to one genre.
The Bonus category will feature one nomination per FISOer that they could not fit in anywhere else.

Nominations
Each FISOer will be allowed 2 nominations per genre maximum. No repeating of previous nominations.
Maximum of 50 nominations per genre (to allow voting - 2 x 25).
Each nomination must be accompanied by a youtube video with a maximum duration of 10 minutes.
If unaware of how to post Youtube videos - click on the 'youtube' tab at the top of the FISO reply page and cut and paste the youtube code from your selected video and place inside the youtube tab link ie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;3VKK2mskvtg.
This must be adhered to, to be a 'legal' nomination. Non coperation will result in nomination not being included.

Once all nominations are in I will invite all to pm me their list of eight scenes they think will go the furthest (film and scene description), I will do the same beforehand, to another FISOer.
If you select the following you will receive the relevant points.
Winner = 25 points
Runner Up = 16 points
Semi Finalist = 10 points
Quarter Finalist = 4 points

Everyone will have one week to pm choices.
I will then list eveyones choices after the deadline.
The winner will be the person that accumulates the most points based on where their selections finish.
In the result of a tie then a decision will be made on the earliest pm sent, if I tie then the other person will win.
The overall champion will win a trophy.

After the lists have been published I will then gathered all nominations per genre and allow voting, number of votes yet to be decided per genre. Although top 2 per genre will qualify thus giving us a last 32.

From the 32 we will have 8 groups of 4 with the top 2 qualifying. Then knockouts for the last 16.

Who's game? This can start virtually asap if there is enough interest.

You'll need to ask Admin to do that but it's unlikely to be a private forum. It will be a subforum like the last Movie world cup so will still be on latest topics.

I'm apparently not allowed to run superleagues EVER again, as this is similar with a prize, albeit from my own pocket, again, he still may have reservations.

admin - if you come by this thread then please let me know one way or another.

I wonder if splitting it by scene genre rather than by film genre....

fight scene
funny clip
epic speech
techinally brill

etc etc

you could pick one of each from Goodfella's alone!

nutter for offering to run it? I did the womans world cup and had fun doing so, wasn't too much work.

Think your 'splitting by scene' idea is a good shout Baz. Suggested splits? Say 8 max. 4 go through to last 32.

Thing is there will be 100s of potential nominations for something like 'funny scene' and far less for other categories yet 4 of each get through.

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

With 16 categories only 2 will progress per category.
Each FISOer can only nominate 1, yes 1 scene per category.
There will be a max of 25 scenes per category so the first 25 FISOers choices, youtube clips of a maximum 10 minute duration rule.
Each FISOer can vote for 3 scenes max, the ones that have nominated will no doubt vote for their own nomination but their other 2 votes should mix it up a bit with non nominators also voting should see a widely varied vote.

It's first come first serve. I'm not dealing with 100's of nominations per category. I'm sure each category will have a fair share of nominations. And if each FISOer can only nominate 1 per category it will increase the chance that they'll nominate in the lesser categories thus upping their numbers.
