Re: [2cylinderhondas] On line car show.

Should the picture-sets of each car be the same? That is, a certain
standardized set of views (front, back, 3/4 angle, etc). In this way all
cars can be "judged" equally.

Hi Steven;
If you go to the ANZ group page and in the photo album under on line car
show, I have placed the only entrants from last year. Limiting it to 5
pictures of your choice lets you do your best to show your car. We all will
be doing the judging and see what the out come is. If you don't want to
take a picture of your cars right side, then you can't be judged for that
side. Same with the engine, you don't open the hood you can't be judged in
that area. Limiting the number of pictures makes the owner be more creative
in taking the pictures. And ascetics such as your better half sitting in
the drivers seat will not help one bit (as far as the judging goes) that is.
Back Ground and preparation will count. But you still only get 5 pictures.
There will be a total of 100 points for the judging areas.
Judged areas could be:
1- 5pts. Paint and panel fit, 1 point off for each panel not looking to
fit correctly, or ding in the paint.
2- 5pts. everything seems to be there, missing a bolt or gas door and 1
point off for each missing item.
3- 10pts. Interior, 5pts front 5pts rear, deduct for missing or unkept
items/seats, wrong items used instead of the correct items. Dealer option
Wood Steering wheels are ok as are wood dash inserts.
4- 10pts. Tires look new, deduct for warn or nasty looking tires, wrong
hubcaps but Mag rims are ok.
5- 10pts. Engine compartment, deduct for missing items such as emblems,
tags, clamps, Jack... or wrong things used.
6- 10pts. Engine, deduct for nasty looking engine, missing items such as
the shrouds, clamps, hoses...
7- 10pts. Owners manual, maintenance schedule, dealer flyers displayed.
8- 10pts. For presentation, back ground and over all appeal to the setting
the photos were taken at. A Yellow car could have yellow flowers in the
background or a Blue Coupe could be contrasting against a white building...
9- 20pts. You just liked the car, and you think it is better than the
rest. And if you think it is only worth 10pts then give it 10.
Maximum point total for any car is 100pts. Just because you count more
than 5 missing or wrong items does not mean you can deduct more points. If
5 is all the points there are assigned for that area then that is all you
can deduct.
Additional mention will be made for the best in progress, longest distance
(from San Diego). Peoples choice. Owners Choice. And Best Sedan, Best Coupe
and Best of the Show.
Does your car have to be completed? no, Does it have to run, I would hope
so, but how can we tell, unless the carb is missing and then we will kind of
figure that out.
Who gets to Judge, everyone that enters a car. Every one else can vote for
their favorites, but it won't be part of the judged event.
This is the Peoples Choice.
And so there will be enough room we can make a separate Yahoo Group page
just for the show.

Hi Bill y Steve,
Well, it�s a nice start what you made. In my opinion, no one
should be get miffed or desillutionated if his/her car doesn�t get
any prize or if he/she thinks that the car doesn�t look (in photos)
as good as it really is; why? Because i trust in a group where
everybody could show you something so if i post my photo i know that
my humble honda is not so perfect as when i was just purchased 30
years ago. If you let me post mines (as you may know, i have two one
being restored -just last steps- and the other in comma) i will take
any critic as a challengue or suggestion, even with a lot of humor
because i know my cars are not perfect but will try to do it as best
as possible, and i believe everyone should do the same. Hope not to
misinterpret your words and lets make a big member online album,
Cheers for everyone
Fernando

Hello again,
Bill what you writted seem to be the perfect way to choose (for
me). And for non DSL or Lan connections, they should download the
entire photo album group and wacht it offline.
See you soon

Hi Fernando;
Yea know letting everyone load up their own pictures may be the way to go.
I will set up the site, and each entrant will have a folder in one of the
two categories, Sedan or Coupe, and then each in their own folder with the
name of the owner as the folder name. In this way all of the (5) pictures
will be in a single folder, as the number of the folder can change when
another folder is added we will use the name on each folder as the folder
ID. If you have two Sedans, then one will be Owner#1 and the second
Owner#2. More pictures will be a disqualifying issue. A picture showing
more than one view will be numbered as two pictures and so on... There will
be a period for posting (to be determined at a later date), all postings
must be accomplished within that period and at the end of the period all
members will have the posting capability removed from the site. Then the
poling area of the site will be used for the Peoples Choice. In the
Document area of the Site there will be a list to be used for judging, with
instructions on how to copy and past it into your e-mail. All e-mail's will
be sent to me and cc to a second member incase my computer crashes under the
load. It will keep the discussion down when the totals are listed and keep
the names of who judged what and how out of the mix. Back to the pictures,
each will have a date marker clearly on the photo so we know that it was
taken this year.
I am trying to keep this simple and if anyone has any suggestions please
feel to voice them before we get started. I don't what to do this unless
everyone is in agreement on the specifics. And, if you load your pictures
up onto the site you have in effect said you agree to the terms of the
event.
Sincerely
Bill Colford
