Information

Continuous events are shows and competitions that will be rolled every time there are at least 5 entries in the folder, or if two weeks have passed since the oldest entry was submitted, whichever comes first and however frequently the admins' schedule allows. These seasonal activities will remain open for 3 consecutive months of the year before turning over to a different event at the new quarter.

> The current season's prompts can be found on the latest CE journal. <


Rules & Requirements

General
  • Each "round" has a maximum of five participants. A round is a scored group that compete against each other.
  • You cannot submit the same tokota twice in one class, until it has been judged.
  • You may create 10 continuous event entries per month for all classes, total.
  • There are three differently scored types of events: Activity, Practice, and Standard. All types share effort/RNG/competition bonuses, but are weighted differently for each type. There are many variables that can increase your score.
  • To participate, you must create a new tracker journal or add a section to your current trackers, where admins can respond with official event results.
  • You may only win first place once per class, per tokota, per month.
  • Entries are limited to 1 tokota (or team) per entry, with the exception of collaborations for a maximum of 2 tokotas (or teams). This applies across all event types and classes.
  • You must link your Tokotna Bank on the form so the admins can deposit your prizes!
  • Standard Events will have a cap of 100 applicable bonuses. If your Tokota has more than 100 bonus points, only the first 100 listed will apply.
Art

Universal Art Requirements

  • Image must be at minimum 300x300 pixels to be valid. Pixel art may be scaled up to meet these requirements.

  • Tokota(s) must be depicted as full body (75% visible) in order for entry to be valid.
    • Where required, Handlers, Starters, or Lore Figures must be depicted as half body (50% visible).
    • When required, prey animals must have at least 25% visibility to be valid.

How to Enter
Submit your entry to the class's linked folder with the appropriate form filled out in the description. Each event type's form is listed in its own section.

Scoring

Judging for Activity Class Continuous Events
Your entry will be rolled as if it were a regular Activity entry. The winner is judged by the TT value* of the first item in the roll. If there is a tie, items will be compared down the line until there is a winner. RNG is a final tie-breaker.
You may redeem any resulting items in the bank's appropriate Activity Redeem Thread, just like any regular Activity entry. No other bonuses (effort, participation, background, etc.) are taken into account.

* Some items do not have a set TT value as they cannot be redeemed to the group for TT. The TCA has created a hypothetical price list for items that do not currently have a listed value. These items still cannot be sold back to the group, but should your tokota find any one of these in its Activity Events, they retain value towards the Event.

The results from successful activity rolls may count towards your tokota's Alpha Prerequisites!
Judging for Practice Class Continuous Events
Your entry will be judged numerically based on each prompt's eligible bonuses (companions, tack, etc), on top of a 40 point sliding scale each for Effort and RNG.
For these events, practice or persistence, is rewarded. You may use any of that tokota's previously failed Practice Event entries for +15 points each, until it wins: then its "practice bonus" resets to 0.
Practice entries carry from season to season, but only within their Classification (Working or Playing.) Practice bonuses do not apply to any other type of event, and do not apply to Alpha tokotas.
