Design League Season 2, Contest #2

[mattyfromcanada]

Hello everyone, and welcome to another season of Design League!

This season will run a lot like last season. Depending on the contest you will get a month, to a month and a half to create a course, usually 4-8 holes. These are meant to be fun and casual, and you do not have to enter each contest. Each contest will have it's own set of requirements, and they are meant to help you grow as a designer, and to try new things!

Rules
- no file sharing with other designers/players
- no seeking out design specific advice (if you have questions, or need clarification on contest requirements that is fine)
- no extensions
- streaming/WIP posts are allowed and encouraged!
- no starting on the contest course until the contest has been announced
- anyone can enter
- zero tolerance for any abuse directed towards other contestants or judges, helpful criticism is completely fine, but anyone crossing the line will not be eligible for future contests
- once your course is completed, post in this thread, tag mattyfromcanada and you will be added that contests roster
- THIS IS MEANT TO BE FUN AND CASUAL

Judging

- Judging will be made by a judging committee, no rubrics. Just like the contest itself, we want this to be fun and on the lighter side.
- There will be a 2 week judging window in between contests. *If this window is longer it will be posted in the thread*
- Every completed entrant will receive points.
- THIS IS MEANT TO BE FUN AND CASUAL!

Scoring

1st place - 50 points
2nd place - 40 points
3rd place - 35 points
4th place - 30 points
5th place - 25 points
Top 10 - 20 points
Entrant - 15 points


Not sure if it's been mentioned yet but the main aim is this is to have a fun, casual, low stress, design/contest experience. We expect to have a wonderful mix of new designers as well as some folks who have been around a while. Let's have a great season!!!

Contest #2 Details (April 5th-May 5th)

Flat Plot Challenge

It is at this point that you will realize that coconut is a nonsense word, and has in fact no bearing on this contest whatsoever!

This contest will test your micro sculpting, creating interesting playing angles, framing, and planting.

Rules

- Entire plot cannot vary more that 10 feet. For example, if you lower the terrain by 3 feet, the most you will be allowed to raise the terrain is 7 feet. Use the measure tool to check and make sure you stay within these parameters.
- 6 holes, total course yardage must be a minimum 2,300 yards (2103 meters).
- Any theme/style is allowed.
- If you are using water, use the level that the water starts for your measurement point.

Does it count If we lower land to create water hazards?

[cd06]

I said it in mattyfromcanada's most recent stream, but due to me being so, so far behind on National Treasure (plot deletions) I'm going to let the rest of you guys have some fun with this. After all, it's #funandcasual!

Will definitely be watching you guys design with eyes wide open. Good luck everyone! Also, if for some reason you need any help with judging/feedback etc, I'm more than happy to help!

"Does it count If we lower land to create water hazards?"

Water hazards are fine. Use where the water starts as your measurement point.

I simply CANNOT believe that you missed the chance to set the due date to May the 4th so you could finish your post by saying "May the fourth be with you".

[trailducker]

Gonna be hard to make three to four waterfalls a hole when the plot is so flat. Challenge accepted.

[theboldb]

Does that mean no 11ft deep bunkers?

[Q]

Hmm sightlines are gonna be a b*$#! Also bunkers are going to be so shallow and invisible I might as well not use them. Sure you can't spare 5 more feet mattyfromcanada ?

[Firethorn15]

Oh wow, I actually predicted this contest (flat plot)! Definitely going to enter if I can find some time.

[b101]

Easy.

Not to mention 2,300 pretty stout! I sketched a rough routing and came in at 2325 😯

Killed the drivable 4 and the short 3! Reworked some of the others into a routing that was just over 2400 with a par 24 (I really want to try and keep it varied with 3s,4s,and 5s)...

Not Approved - Too Flat, sclupting issues through out. Work on your sight lines.

I would suggest Crazy Canucks 101 tutorials
