Next year SJ will more than likley reach or pass 10k attendees and they need more time on the shedule. I would love to keep the AMV prelems, but for it to take up 3hrs really causes pain for the events coordinator. I'll talk with him and see if we can move the prelems to a smaller room and it could also help keep things in control as well.
Do they not realize most cons' AMV contests last that long? 3 hours is pretty standard.
True, but that's usually for the premiere Saturday showing. I'm talking about Fridays amv prelems.
I don't want to argue for or against audience voting, or about how you run the contest, but I figured I comment so it's not just a argument between two forum members about the audience voting issue. Honestly, you are running it in a very inconvenient way and that is causing the problems. There is a reason why most contests operate the way they do.
Also, I would like to say I don't think your system any "more accurate" than any other contest. I personally can't give a "honest rating" to a video after one viewing. I also find some not well done videos to be charming and deserving of a win, but the production quality keeps it from being anywhere close to a 10.
With all that said, I do appreciate the hard work you put into running the contest in a unique way. It is always refreshing to see contests run in a way that isn't the same cookie cutter formula
