Explanation: Spelling errors: If you are going to enter this contest, you must at least make an effort to spell correctly with correct punctuations and capitals. Use the spell checker on your computer and then read what you have written a couple of times. Many of you may not use English as your first language. So you WILL NOT be marked down for wrong use of grammar. We will correct that for you. Word Count: Stay within the limits set by the contest and you score one point mark, if not you loose one point. Content: The content subsections will be marked on a scale of 0 2 by each judge. Obviously these will be subjective but these judges are implacable members of the Deathwing and the Inner Circle and will judge you as impartially as it is possible. Battle Cry: This is self explanatory. The battle cry reflects the soul of the chapter, henceforth the special score set aside to it. Total Score: Each judge will total the score for each contestant and send in the points total out of 25. The values from each judge will be totaled and averaged to provide the final score. IMPORTANT The three overall winners must score a minimum of 50 points to be eligible to win the prizes. The subsections should score a minimum of 15 points to be eligible to win the prizes. |
