|
|
This is the second contest of the 2009 Holiday Logitech and ScoreHero Promotions!
What: Logitech & ScoreHero Count The Notes Contest
When: 11/18/09 - 11/30/09
Where: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbNq0dCLmTo&fmt=18
Winners Announced: Tuesday, December 1, 2009 (full results)
Concept
In thinking about ideas we thought we'd make a ScoreHero version of the ol' fashioned "guess how many jelly beans in the jar" contest. Rather than that, we've got a "guess how many notes in the custom song" contest!
Sounds easy, right? Think again! The audio is an insane shredding session recorded and authored by none less than our own talented guitarist, HellAshes. For further challenge I've hacked the scroll speed down to 0.1x, which is ten times slower than the fretboard speed on the Easy difficulty.
The song video is played with autoplay, meaning all notes are automatically hit. Obviously the score indicator would be a giveaway, so throughout the song certain digits are blacked out. Use the scoring hints to your advantage, but keep in mind you'll likely have to focus on the notes to win!
Judging Rules
In showcase showdown style, the closest counts without going over will win. For clarification, the official note count is defined as the song's full-combo note streak, which means each chord counts as just a single note.
For a tiebreaker, you'll also have to give a second count for the number of chords in the song. This will only be considered in the event of breaking a tie, and again will reward the closest counts without going over.
If there's still a tie, then the oldest registered member(s) will win.
Entry Rules
Deadline: Monday, November 30, 2009 at 11:59PM EST
Since personal information must be supplied (name and shipping address), you must be 18 or older or have parental/guardian consent to enter.
Each ScoreHero member may only enter once. Registering multiple accounts to bypass this restriction will result in voiding all submissions.
To submit your entry, simply login to ScoreHero and submit the form at the following location: http://www.scorehero.com/contest.php?id=2
Up until the deadline you are free to revise your guess on that page, so don't hesitate to submit an early guess and then continue to refine it later.
Prizes
All prizes for this contest will be split by console based on your preference of Xbox 360, Playstation 3, or Nintendo Wii. There will be 3 winners for every console, which also means your competition is defined by whomever else selects the console that you pick. The prize structure for each console will be as follows:
1st place - Logitech Guitar AND Drums controllers
2nd place - Your choice of the Logitech Guitar OR Logitech Drums controller
3rd place - Logitech Guitar OR Logitech Drums (whichever one is NOT picked by the 2nd place winner)
Good luck counting! _________________

This contest is great. I especially like how they blacked out the score so you couldn't just calculate the notes. Very well done. I'll try to come up with something _________________

I like it. I'm going for the random large number guess method. |
