The RU Review Race

[Kurai]

Review Race!

Reviews for a normal-length, single episode you earn you 1 RU Point.
Reviews for double-length, extended episodes will earn you 2 RU Points.
Reviews for feature-length movies will earn you 3 RU Points.

If your review is for a script that is released during RU-Con you will gain an additional 0.5 points for that review.


A leaderboard will be maintained throughout the duration of RU-Con. Reviews up to and including 3am GMT on Monday 17th October (10pm EST on Sunday 16th October) will be counted, with the winner being announced on Monday 17th October.

The winner of the RU-Con Review Race will win an Amazon Gift Card worth at least £50/$50 for the winner to spend on whatever they want!*

Terms and conditions apply (lol)

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

In the case of a draw between two or more participants, the winner will be decided based on the quality and amount of effort put into each review. The reviewers' consistency will also be taken into account. In such a scenario the winner will be chosen at the competition host's discretion based on these factors.

Gift card will be delivered via email.

Gift card value is set at a minimum prize of £50 (or $50, or E50, or equivalent). Prize fund may increase based on success of competition and rate of entry. (Prize fund is currently set to increase at a rate of +1 for every five reviews posted after the initial five contenders have posted a review each).

Competition and its prize will only be valid if - and only if - there are at least five participants in the Review Race. Points will be accumulated for all reviews during RU-Con, however, these points will be void and moot if there are not enough participants. In short, there will be no prize if there are no contenders.

Whilst the prize of "Amazon Gift Card" will not change, the above terms and conditions, as well as competition rules, may change at any point between now and the start of RU-Con. Any changes will be announced.

*"whatever you want" must be available for purchase on the Amazon website.

Back off, kids. This gift-card is mine.

But seriousy, this is very cool and it should be a great week if everyone contributes which with you in charge, they could.

You're everything that Dom was supposed to be **cries with happiness**

Challenge accepted.

Sounds like fun! ;D

Should finales get a step up in points too (maybe 1.5 to tie with premieres/pilots)?

I was thinking that but I dunno, the slightly higher points for premiers is to encourage people to read and review new shows they haven't looked at before.

If people are reviewing a finale it's safe to assume they've been consistently reviewing the rest of that series already and therefore the higher points might not be necessary.

Then again pilots and finales tend to be double part scripts soooo... I'll think about it.

Whilst true you may be the biggest reviewer here, I hope you'll be faced with some serious competition in the RU Race! After all... IT'S A FREAKIN' GIFT CARD!

So - does this count all reviews in our career as semi-professional reviewers? Or is there a start date?

[Necktie]

Nevermind. I actually spent the time reading. *is lazy*
