A topic for it seems to be needed as some people (dunno who) aren't reading it from the main page.

Please read and understand all of the following. If you have any questions or need clarification on something, make sure to ask it
in the questions topic. These rules apply to each and every round, with no exceptions.

1- This is a LEGO Technic/Bionicle/Hero Factory contest. LEGO System parts (that's bricks) should be kept to a minimum. No glued, painted or modified pieces of any kind are allowed. The games will open with a "free for all" qualification. The winners will be inserted in the rosters for the actual tournament.

2- Each of the starting rounds will last a week. As the game (and the difficulty) progresses, longer times will be granted.

3- A valid entry can have any title, but you must indicate in the description box that it's for the 2012 Bio Cup, also adding to which round it belongs and which category of that round it belongs. It must be added to the group and you have to put a link to your entry in the appropriate "Entry thread”. The entry thread is only meant for your entry, and not for anything else, if you have anything to say be sure to do it in the General Conversation Topic, or if you have a doubt, in the round topic.

4- Your entry must fit the assigned theme.

5- The pictures must be clear, focused and with decent lighting to allow the judges to see it clearly. A clean background will be appreciated.

6- Each round will be a MOC-off against your assigned opponent. The winner moves up, the loser falls down. When you're the only one left, you’ve won.

7- Each MOC will be judged on a scale of one to ten by five judges. A zero will be assigned by a judge only if he thinks the entry is out of theme and/or breaks a rule, but with no grounds for DQ.

8- All builds must be new ones. You are not allowed to use anything that you have already posted before the round begins.

9- Your entry must be posted by 11:59 PM MOCpages time on the due date. No late entries will be accepted. You may start building your entry as soon as the round is announced and posted.

11- Doubts about the current round shall be posted in the round's topic. Doubts about the contest in general shall be posted in the "Questions!" topic.

12- Specific rules to a round will be in the round's topic.

13- Only your contest entries may be added to the group's creations.

14- Standard MOCpages rules apply.

I believe you mean that they AREN'T just for show... :P

Don't forget to also post your entries url in the entry thread posts.

Yeah, I almost forgot to do that. :P

There's nothing to say here that if I'm unsatisfied with my own entry I can't upload a new one to take it's place before the end date of said round. This is ok isn't it?

No, it's not Ok. It would be ok if you posted it before your opponent did, that way you wouldn't know what takes to beat him. But you posted yours afterwards and got to see his entry so that would be rather unfair if you could simply just build another entry. What if you top him? Then what? We let him build another entry aswell? If we let you do so, why wouldn't we let him? You understand my point right?

In all honesty you should've taken your time in this topic, specially knowing that vehicles are not what you're best at as you yourself mentioned. If you needed an extension I would with no problem grant it as afterall that will have to be done anyway. All you can do now is hope that most of the judges prefer you entry.

Well, after seeing your first entry I will allow it to be done this one time since it had too many system pieces and even a minifig for a rider wich would ultimetely invalidate it.
