HEAD 2 HEAD!!





- Two players enter shots anonymously. You send me your shot, and only you & I will know who's is who's.

- The shots are entered into a public poll. Shots will remain nameless until after the results are posted.

- The Winner moves on to the next round. The loser sits down and watches. Wink

- This process continues in a bracket style elimination until only one remains.

- NO HOLDS BARRED! Anything goes, so bring your best stuff. Composites, edits, freeware, payware, stuff you made up that isn't public yet, secret beta projects, if you think it will give you the edge, use it. There are no themes, just your best against your opponents best. Wink

5 days left, and we need 5 more people.

One person a day should get us there.  If need be, I'll jump in on this one.  Wink

At most, if you go all the way, you'll only have to produce 4 screen shots within a 2 month period, so I hope people aren't avoiding this because it sounds like a lot of invested time on their part.
Last time, some of the contestants had all four of their shots ready before we even started, and all they had to do was post it when it was time.

So come on, join up, you know you want to..  Grin  Wink
