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)

I`ll be looking forward! 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? 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.

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?

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]

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. V

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
