The ISD Speed Build has been done. And Done. And DONE!
We in the Great NorthWest are going to present a new challenge. An open
competition speed build - each contestant alone. No teamwork, no committee, no
sharing of the glory - or the prizes!
Here is how the Speed Build works: Any Registered Attendee who wants to compete,
brings one unopened copy of the Deep Sea Predators set, set #4506, 352 pieces,
~$20. The Contest Coordinator (me) will tell everyone which model to build and
say "Go!". All contestants will then open their sealed boxes and begin building.
The first person to complete the model wins! Sound simple? It is.
No-one will know ahead of time which model will be selected. It will definitely
be one of the models that has full instructions inside the instruction book. (No
ad-hoc building here). There will be judging to validate that the model is
complete and correct before prizes can be awarded. When it is all over, everyone
still owns their set (1).
The only requirement for being a part of this contest is to be registered and
have an unopened copy of the set. There is a Target store right next to the
Event in case you decide to join the competition after arriving at the Con.
Now for the Master Build Contest.
This contest will be held after the Speed Build Contest because, you guessed it,
we'll be using the same set of pieces (Deep Sea Predators set #4506) as the part
basis for this contest. To compete, you must be a Registered Atendee and have
access to the set.
This is a competition where the contestant will have to build something based on
the Theme that will be announced at the beginning of the build. (Again, no-one
will know ahead of time the theme). The build time will be 45 minutes. At the
end of that time all builders will stop and the judging will begin. There will
be prizes! When it is all over, everyone still owns their set (2).
These two contests are open to everyone (with the exception of the judging
staff)! They are totally independent - you do not have to compete in both
contests if you only wish to compete in one. If you have a friend who is faster
than you, but you are more creative (ha!), then you might think about sharing a
set.
The only requirements for these Competitions are being a Registered Attendee and
having access to one copy of the official set (unopened for the Speed Build).
This is another event that will be a lot of fun to watch if you don't wish to
compete!
