Round 2 Elimination Challenge Results – RED Group

Posted by flyin' on Sunday, August 15, 2010 in Judging, News, Round 2

kawaii-chicken (76 points) vs. StormFangs (68 points)
yuukine (64 points) vs. channelqueen17 (60 points)
afwells (WILDCARD) (62 points) vs. Deto15 (85 points)
alenas (IC2 Winner) (70 points) vs. octofly (69 points)
ze (76 points) vs. chibimisao (77 points)

The Red Group had several amazingly tight races, with just one point separating the winners from the losers! As the Immunity Challenge + People’s Choice winner, alenas automatically advanced to the final round and also received +4 points on her final score. Congrats to Deto15 for tying with dalarty for the highest-scoring wall this round, and special thanks to afwells for filling in as super last minute wildcard for us!

(Because of rounding, total scores may be a point off from the sum of the technical/creative/meets theme/overall points.)

HUGE thanks to our awesome judges, who have once again kept up the high standard of scoring and critiquing for this round. Be sure to thank them properly!
All entries were judged by all 10 of our judges (Jay included). Each judge was given a minimum # of comments, but were given the option of commenting more if they wished.

Also, be sure to check out the BLUE group’s results! 8)
These groups were just our way of breaking all 19 contestants into manageable posts – no other meaning is associated with these groups :)

Post links to your AP-submitted walls here once you’re done uploading so we can pimp them properly! Thanks <3

Round 2 Elimination Challenge Results – BLUE Group

Posted by flyin' on Sunday, August 15, 2010 in Judging, News, Round 2

dalarty (85 points) vs. shigemitsubaki (84 points)

Horseradish (WILDCARD) (60 points) vs. Albel-Ryuuji
Red-Eclipse (81 points) vs. AssasinXXX (WILDCARD) (71 points)

The Blue Group had several casualties this round, and also some amazing wildcards who agreed to fill in last minute for us. Red-Eclipse and shigemitsubaki as the Immunity Challenge People’s Choice winners had additional +5 points and +3 points respectively added to their final scores, but we were destined to have an insanely close showdown between dalarty and tsu! Congrats to dalarty for tying with Deto15 for the highest-scoring wall this round, and special thanks to highknees, Horseradish, and AssasinXXX for filling in as super last minute wildcards for us!

Elimination Challenge 2 Officially Closed!

Posted by flyin' on Sunday, August 8, 2010 in News, Round 2

To everyone who got their submissions in on time – great job! Definitely lots of fun walls this round and I really look forward to passing your entries over to the uber judges. There are a few of you who we need some additional things from – check your emails – so if you can get that to apclash2010@gmail.com ASAP, that would be awesome :)

As of last count, we’re waiting on FOUR walls (and two walls from awesome wildcards who got reaally late invitations to the contest ^^;). If you haven’t already gotten in touch with us to let us know your status (late? Dropping out?), please do so ASAP.

A reminder to the late wallers – you’re not only racking up a -5 point deduction per day (and running the risk of getting fewer if any comments from our uber judges), but (per the rules) we will NOT accept late entries 3 days after the deadline, since we want to make sure the uber judges have enough time to judge and so we can announce the round results on time. So if you’ve got something in the works, definitely get it in ASAP!

P.S. The casualties for this round so far are storm-and-fire, Yina, and TheMajor. Much thanks to the awesome wildcards who agreed to fill in for them!

Update: One more casualty! moutonzare also had to pull out of the competition, so tons of thanks to the awesome wildcard who agreed to fill in <3 This will also be the last casualty announcement for this round until the results are announced!

Announcing Round 2 Uber Judges!

Posted by flyin' on Saturday, July 31, 2010 in Interviews, Judging, News, Round 2

For round 2, we welcome back some familiar faces and also some fresh judges. As the uberness of our judging panel surges to new heights, the pressure is ON for round 2 of AP Clash, and we can’t wait to see what you guys will deliver for this round!

As before, we want to make it clear that our uber-judges are NOT helpers, unless their usernames are listed on the helpers page. This means that we expect all our participants to be respectful; if we hear any complaints from our uber judges about rude behavior or participant harassment, we will dock points from your challenge entry.

With that out of the way – in addition to Jay, here are our uber judges for round 2!

Stay tuned to WordPress for more interviews with our uber judges! :D
