Granted it was up 2-3 days before the deadline, and I could say that I have work and have been playing Halo: Reach nonstop, and that I edited my card and added a name an hour before the deadline, but hey.
I think what happened was I saw the first "challenge" and I thought "how can I do this? Well, I'll make a creature that triggers when X amount of creatures are put into a graveyard then the next spell has gravestorm" but I decided to go for the tap abilities instead and sacrifice 1 point. THAT'S what screwed me up. I saw Gravestorm and the first challenge and wanted to make a creature. That's what my heart was set on. I didn't even realize it HAD to have gravestorm.
I saw make a card with gravestorm, not realizing that a card that GRANTS gravestorm wouldn't count, or could be DQ'd. I still like my example of a 0/1 with dreadge 0 would have been a legal and better entry.
Also, a PM would be nice, and MP13 actually DID do this, but when the whole server moved I deleted my cookies and for some damn reason I have to log in every 5 minutes if I'm inactive, so I didn't even look at that area of the screen all week due to the constant relogging in.
Again, bah. Really wished there had been more on this in clarifications (which, I seem to notice for the first time, there were none, nor was there even a bracket which could have been edited)
I really hate the fact that I could have added "unearth 0" to the text and my card could have made it judge eligible. ANY of the cards that have dredge, unearth, or gravestorm, could function as cards without said keywords. Ours (the DQees) can't. Hell, I could have made something like
Name0
Artifact creature
Unearth 0
0/1
A card I made up as I typed and it would have been accepted but the "spirit of the round" DQ's my card. Man, I am upset. I think this is the first time I have been DQ'd. This situation thinned the field a tad more than 10% before judgings were even made.
I really wanted to start judging/participating in alternating months but now I might just stick to judging because at least then I can participate ALL the time and even have a hypothetical entry that would be judged.
Oh, one final note...I think it was last round of September. One of the participants' cards didn't even work (due to a technicality; its toughness was 0 and its P/T triggered AFTER it entered the battlefield) but the judges (mostly) only took off in polish.

Feign ignorance. Just let it go its just a contest anyway.
Normally I would but DG is a friend of mine on another site AND missed out last month for accidentally editing his entry after the deadline, so it'd be a shame if DG missed out this month when he actually SHOULD have moved on...

Umm, I noticed a grave error in Deusofcalamity's judging. Designer Genes' score was 18 but if you add up the numbers DG's score is actually 19.5, meaning DG would advance and Pseudofate wouldn't...:-/ What is normally done in this situation?

@ Emocakes: So, if someone had a creature that was something like
Spiffy Name3WW
Creature-Angel (R)
Flying, Vigilance, Lifelink, First Strike
3/3
So, you would give this card 0 polish points (-3) because each of the abilities past the first shouldn't be capitalized...that seems WAAAAAAAAAY too strict.

I like ced's post that mentioned me. I did think that I scored a little high but I looked at some of the other cards and I WOULD have scored them lower. I liked the 4 cards in my pod out of all of the entrants the most, so the scores probably would have stayed the same. I was, however, surprised with the consistency of the judgings that I shared with the other judges.
In my opinion, most of the judges usually grade the same, save how they do the polish. I think the polish should have a fixed unit. 1 whole point for a spelling error is REALLY harsh. I always do (-0.5) for ANY mistake, but on Jimmy Groove's card I only took off (-0.5) for BOTH mistakes because they were the same (he put black and blue creature token instead of BLUE and BLACK creature token.)
So, yeah, I think we should have a universal polish system. 0.5 points docked for any mistake; microtext, spelling errors, templating.

I would say so, Para. Thought its already been done. See Mirror Entity.Strike that, apparently it isn't. MCCHammer sayeth so in the clarifications section.
