CABGO III Contest

Ok well it is officially after 12am on May 1st, 2012 in some parts of the world. DarthPineapple and I have been hammering out the details for a few days and we’re still hoping on a few more prizes but here it is!

SO READ THIS COMPLETELY, THEN READ IT AGAIN!

Original Announcement Regarding Requests for Prizes:

Good morning, afternoon, evening, & night:

Many of you know that I’m an ADMIN over on theCABG.net . Every time that there’s an Olympics the CABG holds their own MOC Olympics or CABGO. This is our third time running this and we’re looking for prize sponsors. We’re not looking for much. The idea is several people/businesses throw in several small things that in the end we can compile some great prizes packs. We have 3 categories of competition. If you choose to donate prizes you can specify which prize pool category you wish to donate to.

We have Guild Members vs. New Members (Non-Guild Members) and they have to build 2 MOCs to enter. This competition category will be referred to as Biathlon Category (2 MOCs).

We have Guild Members vs. Moderators and they have to build 3 MOCs to enter. This competition category will be referred to as Triathlon Category (3 MOCs = first 2 MOCs, plus another).

We have Guild Members vs. Moderators vs. ADMIN and they have to build 5 MOCs to enter. This competition category will be referred to as Pentathlon Category (5 MOCs = first 3 MOCs, plus 2 more).

I personally am donating prizes (full PaB Cups) to the Biathlon & Triathlon levels because I will not be competing in those categories. I’d like the largest prize pool to go towards the Biathlon Category, then the Triathlon Category, and finally the least amount of prizes in the Pentathlon Category since this will have the fewest amount of competitors in it probably because contestants will have to build 5 MOCs in the 3 month time period.

If you wish you can send a lump package to me and I can forward it to the winners. Or if you prefer I can have the winners contact you directly (or I could contact you with their mailing info). Note the voting won’t be until the end of the summer since the contest runs from June 1 to August 31. However the official announcement is coming May 1st. If you interested/able to donate prizes please reply by then and include a list, link, and/or image (image preferred) regarding the prizes you are donating.

Thanks again for everything that you do in the Community, ADMIN ROOK

Haven't ven started... Didn't think we were allowed to start yet...... >.>

Oh, right. I should probably get started then. ;D

I've also only got 1/(maybe)5 finished and photographed.

Entry Threads are unlocked!

Yay! Now I can post my horrible MOCs... I hope 1 of them turns out ok :/

Take your time you've got 3 whole months still!

Well we’ve about 45 days since CABGO III was announced and several of us have completed some or all of our MOCs. You have about 75 days which means there is still plenty time to start!

I have three almost done.

I'm done, but I am just upgrading MOC 1, 2, and 5.

Question, For the Biathlon Vignette, the 2 Minifigs have to be from the same Lego Theme. Does this Theme have to be an official one from TLC or can it be another theme such as USDF?

When in doubt read and reread.

Lego Theme

Minifigures: Use all parts as depicted on BrickSet Figure Image. All other accessories are optional. http://www.brickset.com/minifigs/browse/

The "R" with the circle around it means registered trademark. Therefore if Lego didn't make the theme, it wouldn't appear on BrickSet. Also Brickset is noted as the reference site by which all minifigures will be judged. So if you can't find it on BrickSet then don't use it for that MOC.

Updated prize list!

3 Days Left!

Dang... I a out of ideas but I want to be able to enter all the categories.... Question. It says on some categories REQUIRED, does that mean if I don't do it I can't win?

Must have completed MOCs 1 & 2 to enter first group.

Must have completed MOCs 1,2, & 3 to enter second group.

Must have completed MOCs 1-5 to enter final group.

---------------------------------------------------

At this point I'd just post a valid entry. Don't worry about how good it is. There's so few contestants you just need to enter to win almost.

Go ahead... Call me a clock stalker... I just can't wait till voting!


Yes that is Honolulu time and that is the latest part of the world

For me it's closed .

Ah holiday weekend! Hope everyone is having a good one. I'll get the polls up today and they'll run for one week.
