Ok, maybe I'm just an OLD TIMER, but - I noticed there's the CHOPPERDOME contests that folks seem to like. We always had a "head to head" contest page that was working on the site.

Here is the link:
http://photoshopcontest.com/headtohead.php/

1.) there seems to be an interest in impromptu H2Hs
2.) the code is already there.
3.) there are A LOT of images in the QUE.
4.) there is no 4 yet, but I'm sure someone will mention something that can go here.

So...
Should we (errr...procyon) revive the "head to head" competitions?

...also, to avoid no-shows, we could ban people from entering again for a time if they don't post in their own h2h and the same for parings that get no votes. Usually the best h2hs are the ones that are settling a score. (much better than a dance-off ;p)

All I see in that link are a list of numbers that link to blank pages. So I'm not sure what you are talking about.

But Blue is doing such a good job with the Chopperdome, why would we want to have something fully automated with no extra work to run? I'm sure Blue loves updating ChopperDome stats, threads, polls, images; in between fixing fences, cleaning pools, and avoiding a massive wildfire from taking out his property.

I don't think the annual H2H tournament is what Jasper is talking about, is it?

Jasper's definitely not talking about the annual (or semi-annual?) H2H tournament. He's talking about a system that allowed for people to directly challenge (a'la the Chopper Dome). The code would allow for anonymous postings and voting so that it didn't have to be a poll in the forums.

No. Not the annual h2h.

So...let's take a wayback trip to 2004...

ok, I like this. I like the fact that you can eventually see who the voters were. In the Chopper Dome thread/poll system, you don't know who is voting and whether or not the votes are from members who miraculously joined in groves within 2 two days (bogus aliases). Not that anybody would cheat, but for peace of mind to the person that loses, it's nice to be able to verify the results.
