| Mix & Match Competition (Parkwood Camera Club Rules for 2 Teams) General Each team table will be manned by no more than 4 members. There will also be an agreed person who will be the timekeeper and scorekeeper. Each team will have a laptop containing their team’s images, projector and contact sheets of the team’s images. Each team will bring a total of 40 images, 30 of which will be shown (i.e. each team will have an extra 10 spare images to help achieve a match in the final few rounds. No image may be projected more than once. Images may be projected in any orientation in an attempt to match a shape or pattern, i.e. rotated, flipped horizontally or vertically, etc. A coin toss will decide the team who starts Round 1 with the first lead image projection. For each Round The first team projects a lead image of their choice. The other team has 40 seconds to select and project a response image which they claim is a “match” to the lead projected image . The “match” may be content, colour, shape, pattern, etc, and the team may state the grounds on which a “match” is claimed. The judge will then decide whether the response image is a “match” to the lead image. The decision of the judge will be final. The teams then take it in turn to project the lead image with the other team projecting their response image. Marking 1 point will be awarded on the basis of whether there is a “match” or not as follows:- If the judge declares there is no “match”, then the point is awarded to the team projecting the lead image. If the judge declares that there is a “match”, then the point is awarded to the team projecting the response image. Failure to project an image, matching or otherwise, within the allotted 40 seconds will result in 1 penalty point being awarded to the offending team which will be deducted from their total score. At the end of each round, where there has been a “match” the judge will award an extra point to the team with the best image in that round. The best image point will not be awarded in rounds where there has not been a “match”. The winning team will be that with the highest total score at the end of all of the rounds. Remember – this is a fun event and should not be taken too seriously. Members of the audience are invited to laugh, cheer, bribe judges and boo as they see fit !! |
