*NOT YET STARTED - DATE OF FIRST CHALLENGE: TO BE DECIDED, ENTERING DEADLINE: 18TH MAY, 2012 (ELECTED DATE)*
*I AM CURRENTLY CREATING AN OFFICIAL WEBSITE FOR THIS EVENT - HERE IT IS: GoldRock Productions (the official website) - Announcements, Scratch Olympics etc.*
I am hosting the Scratch Olympics 2012, which shall celebrate the London 2012 Olympics currently being organised.
I will host challenges that test the abilities of [Programming, Graphics, and Project Design] over a period of time.
I will give out challenges each week that test each ability. There will be at least four teams with five members each. The best project wins and are scored by these five categories
Graphics: -/100
Programming:-/100
Creativeness: -/100
Sounds:-/100
Overall:-/100
If you win a challenge overall, you will gain a 'platinum' medal worth 10 'ranks' (there are no 'ranks' for coming second overall!). You may not win the challenge overall, but you can gain medals in different categories, for example:
Leader Board
Graphics:93 (highest score - gold)
Programming:73 (bronze)
Sounds:32 (no medal gained)
Creativeness:84 (silver)
Overall:73 (second - no medal gained)
Ranks gained: 3 + 1 + 2 = 6
Gold is worth 3 ranks, silver 2, and bronze 1. Notice that you can't achieve a platinum in any of the subcategories - winning overall in a challenge is the most important factor, although winning in subcategories can also boost your rank. There will be a gallery into which you will submit your entries for each challenge. The results for each challenge will be given in 'awards ceremony' style projects, the link to which will be posted after each challenge is complete. The team with the highest rank at the end of the Scratch Olympics is declared champion for 2012!

The challenges shall remain a secret until the date the Scratch Olympics officially begins
You may not win the challenges overall but you can win in so many other criterias. So you have more than one chance to win! You can join the following teams, and rename them according to a country:

Nice! This could work and we'll get people on it in no time due to your projects!
Yeah, I'm quite excited about this! Now, could you try to advertise this as well? I've already got FreshStudios making an official signature! And also, we'll need somewhere secure to discuss the challenges
