When does this start?


Any ideas about this? I`m up for trying my first beginner challenge as well! [:)]




at_leo_87 -> RE: time for another challenge? (Sep. 10 2010 23:05:36)

the beginner's challenge will officially start this sunday and end monday october 4.
how does that sound?

a 5 entry fee is a good idea. it'll help pay for prizes and keep non-serious people out. but it might discourage a lot of folks from entering. what does everyone else think?

no prizes has its benefits and drawbacks. i'd really like to get rid of my printer though. [:D]

advanced challenge:
deniz
xirdneH_imiJ

hey, i remember jason saying he'd do another cante challenge with yaelisa singing a solea.




Stu -> RE: time for another challenge? (Sep. 10 2010 23:16:17)

Sounds great! I`ll be looking forward!

I personally really do not care for prizes, my reason for trying to join a beginner challenge is to see for myself if I can learn a new piece within the required time and if I`m at the level enough to do so. Also to hopefully get some pointers and comments from all you experienced players.
I`m a beginner and all serious feedback will be more important to me.
However if there is a decision made to charge a entry fee for whatever purpose, that would not turn me off to the challenge.




xirdneH_imiJ -> RE: time for another challenge? (Sep. 10 2010 23:33:33)

i'm against anything money related in the challenges...they're there to inspire us to improve and to test ourselves against each other, i don't think anyone really cares about a prize...and i really really think such thing would discourage people from entering...i will enter the advanced challenge regardless...




fevictor -> RE: time for another challenge? (Sep. 10 2010 23:35:26)

I'm cool with the no prize idea also. I am just up for the challenge and whatever makes the competition easier is probably better anyway. Not to mention I know I wont be claiming any prize this time anyway![:D]




at_leo_87 -> RE: time for another challenge? (Sep. 11 2010 1:25:33)

stu, rich, you're added!

ok, so it seems like no prize/no entry fee is a good idea. i still think people who want to donate a service or product should be allowed to do so.




cathulu -> RE: time for another challenge? (Sep. 11 2010 1:33:09)

Anthony, I think you are finding out you can't please all the people all of the time. I think you should make a beginner challenge thread and set the rules etc and that is what we have to live with.

I only wish to add that I think we should get at least 6-8 weeks to work on the challenge, time flies quickly, especially with school and work starting for a lot of people.




at_leo_87 -> RE: time for another challenge? (Sep. 11 2010 1:37:23)

ok, good idea chris! phew, this is a lot of work!

if i do have the time to enter, the intermediate challenge, i think it'd be a good idea for someone else to take over. conflict of interest, you know?




at_leo_87 -> RE: time for another challenge? (Sep. 11 2010 1:58:18)

ok, homeboys, here it is...

I see it the same way. But when there is no prizes, we should be able to set up such a challenge super fast, and also more often than 1 or 2 times a year per level. Sort of quick informal challenge as somebody said. Shorten the falsetas so that contestants have no problem to learn it in 1 month or so. Make a challenge deadline every 2 months to be really sure everybody can do it and we will all have learned a huge bag of falsetas in one year! [:D]




jeronimo -> RE: time for another challenge? (Sep. 12 2010 9:26:51)

OK no problem. Maybe I have luck and could join the challenge. [;)]

I don't think there's ever been a problem with keeping 'non-serious' people out. Non issue. Anything that presents an obstacle to participation is a bad idea.

As for prizes, for me, that's a non-issue also. The process and the deadline and the feedback is what it's all about.

have a nice trip and see you in a week!

thank you [:D] actually I did
and now I'm ready for the Intr.Challenge[8D]




at_leo_87 -> RE: time for another challenge? (Sep. 16 2010 15:56:36)

ole!




Elie -> RE: time for another challenge? (Nov. 5 2010 21:36:10)

are we gonna launch the intermediate challenge soon ? [:D]
btw has the challenge piece been decided yet?




at_leo_87 -> RE: time for another challenge? (Nov. 5 2010 22:29:51)

nope, the challenge piece hasn't been decided yet. actually, nothing about the intermediate challenge has been done yet. [:D]

sorry, organizing a challenge can be more trouble and time consuming than it seems. i might take part in the challenge. i think it'd be weird if i organized the challenge AND participated.

any volunteers please? [:)]




Elie -> RE: time for another challenge? (Nov. 6 2010 17:12:11)

no problem bro [:)]
I know it takes long time to be prepared and most of the foro members are busy with work ,studies or both I believe .
anyway I just wanted to check if there is a thread I missed about the challenge [:D]apparently there is not [8D]
regards, Elie

Oh I think I might be persuaded!
[:D] As long as the deadline isn't when I'm in Spain - that was a real pain doing all that from internet cafes!
