Rules
of
the
Competition....
To
join
Bards
of
Fortune
-
All
you
have
to
do
is
fill
out
the
join
form,
giving
us
two
preferences
as
to
your
team,
as
sometimes
one
Team
is
to
full
Please
note
-
we
will
not
accept
any
sites
that
encourage
hate
or
discrimination
of
any
kind.
We
will
also
not
accept
any
pornographic
sites.
In
a
lot
of
other
areas,
we
are
fairly
lenient.
If
you
are
unsure
as
to
whether
your
site
is
allowed
or
not,
please
email
the
competition
with
your
URL,
and
we
will
look
at
your
site
and
get
back
to
you
ASAP
with
our
decision.
Scoring
-
Scoring
is
counted
on
an
out
of
10
scale.
The
most
votes
for
the
day
receives
a
10,
the
next
most
9,
and
so
on.
In
the
event
of
a
draw,
both
sites
receive
the
higher
score.
A
site
with
no
votes
will
receive
no
score.
An
example
of
this
is....
four
sites
receive
the
following
votes....
35,
18,
8
and
0.
The
scores
for
these
sites
would
be....
10,
9,
8
and
0.
So
if
you
get
a
0...it
will
make
it
very
hard
to
catch
up
with
the
other
team
members...so
even
1
vote
might
be
enough
to
get
you
through
to
the
next
level...NB
2
weeks
of
continual
no
votes,
you
will
receive
an
email
from
the
Founder,
requesting
you
to
at
least
vote
for
yourself...and
if
no
votes
for
the
following
week,
you
will
be
taken
from
the
Team.
If
you
have
any
questions
regarding
scoring
at
the
Bards
of
Fortune's
Competition,
please
email
the
founder
here!
Other
guidelines
-
I
know
everyone
always
says...no
vote
exchanging....we
all
know
it
goes
on,
and
there
is
nothing
we
can
do
about
it.
It
is
up
to
each
person
to
get
their
own
votes
for
the
competition,
and
we
cannot
monitor
how
everyone
does
that.
I
am
not
going
to
say
'no
vote
exchanging',
because
it
is
just
something
that
is
impossible
to
police.
We
do
request
that
you
don't
'blind
vote'
though.
What
is
blind
voting?
Blind
voting
is
when
someone
asks
you
to
vote
for
their
site,
and
you
do
so
without
even
going
there
and
looking.
You
could
be
voting
for
a
site
that
you
have
a
totally
opposite
opinion
about,
and
yet
by
voting
for
them,
you
are
supporting
them.
So
please,
before
you
vote
for
someone,
visit
their
site
first.
Also,
here
at
Bards
of
Fortune,
we
have
no
graphic
requirements.
You
are
not
required
to
display
a
Vote
graphic
on
your
site.
If
you
do
wish
to
have
one
displayed
on
your
site,
then
there
are
images
that
you
are
welcome
to
take
and
display
upon
acceptance.
You
also
do
not
have
to
display
a
graphic
as
your
vote
link
to
Bards
of
Fortune.
But
a
graphic
link
is
more
easily
seen
and
generally
encourages
more
votes.
If
you
wish
to
use
a
team
graphic
for
your
vote
link,
then
there
are
several
available
from
the
individual
teams.
Once
you
are
a
team
member,
you
are
also
free
to
submit
some
of
your
own
to
your
Team
Leader
to
be
put
up
on
the
graphic
link
team
page.
Also,
please
note
that
there
is
no
program
to
gain
you
extra
votes.
There
are
no
bonus
votes
awarded
for
cheers
or
spirit
pages,
although
we
would
still
love
to
see
them
if
you
do
create
them.
I
feel
that
any
bonus
vote
system
like
this
is
unfair,
as
someone
could
get
perfect
10's
all
week
and
still
lose.
eGroups
VE

Chat

We
do
have
a

you
can

to

post
your
daily
vote
reminders
through...or
just
have
a
General
Chat.
