Well, now that the Jolly Roger Contest III has ended, it is time for the judges to judge, and the entry-ers(....) to wait.
As I did the first two JRCs, I did up a stat list, and here are my findings:
In the eight categories, there were a total of 62 entries, with the Custom Minifig in a Vignette category having the most with 13, and the Pirate Town category having 4 entries. The average per category is just a hair under 8, or 7.75. Twenty-three different people entered anywhere from 1 to 6 entries, with the average being about 2.7 entries per person.
Okay, now, first JRC I scored two Honorable Mentions (10 categories, 110 entries), and in the second one, I won one category, and got an Honorable Mention. (10 categories, 89 entries) So, I figure My chances of winning are about the same as the last couple years. I shall now go and break down how I feel I did/shall do in each of this year's 8 categories
Pirate Town: With only 4 entries, and one of them mine, I feel That I stand a fairly good chance of getting an HM, but I would almost put money on me not winning this one. Quality, not Quantity is very evident here.
1592 Remake: Didn't enter.
The Tower: 12 entries, and some very good ones, too. I definitely feel that mine probably won't get anything, but it was a bit rushed of an entry, and I didn't get to do as much with it as I wanted.
Custom Minifig in a Vignette: What a mouthful... Anyways, this may be the category with the most entries, but I feel I ought to get an HM, if for no other reason than I actually customized my fig. Only 3 or 4 actually had customization done to them, and I feel they all have an advantage over the others for that reason.
The Backwaters: Yeah, I don't think mine will do well, considering that min isn't really much of a wreck, unlike all the others. But hey, I had fun building it, and the fun is all that counts in the end.
Pirate Flag: I think I stand a chance of winning this one. Partly because I think mine really looks like a flag, with the pole and waving look to it.
Spanish Treasure: Didn't enter.
Merchant Attack. I won't win this one. Guaranteed. I hope for an honorable mention, but no way I am winning. Even with that little mess up on the Cove forum that cost me a custom rank (Not a good one), I feel that a certain entry shall win. It is that great.
And as for the Master Builder Catagory, I feel I stand a good a chance as some, and a better chance then many. 6 people are eligible for the Master Builder, and at least a couple of them won't get close.
Anyways, that is all for now, stay tuned for the Post-Judging comments!
