A new forum means new ideas. Or, perhaps, old ideas in new ways. To keep people interested and to encourage activity, TCK will be hosting 3 13-week events throughout the year. Battle of the Houses (BOTH) is our first event.
How It Works
Users are sorted into 1 of the 4 Hogwarts Houses (from Harry Potter) based on their responses to the 5 questions in the pinned thread of the Sorting Ceremony. Each user who wishes to participate in the event and any of the contests associated with the event must be sorted. Instructions can be found in the pinned thread.
The forum where users are sorted is a private forum. Only the threads that you create and any pinned threads within the forum can be seen by you.
Once placed in a house, you will get a username color based on the house group you are sorted into. You and your housemates will compete against other users from the different houses by participating in BOTH contests and events throughout the 13-week period. The house at the end of the event with the most points will win the event and each house member will receive a golden cup for winning the BOTH event.
Each week beginning December 31st, 2017, a BOTH Contest or Event will be posted. Certain weeks may contain multiple contests due to events such as New Years, Valentine's Day, St. Patty's Day, and other holidays. Each time an event or contest(s) is posted, an announcement will be made. You can keep track of BOTH news through the News & Announcements forum or the "News" link in the top navbar and left sidebar.
By the second day of the next week, house points will be totaled & the BOTH Leaderboard Thread will be updated to show current house point totals. An update will also be added to the right sidebar on the news page.
Prizes
Prizes will vary based on the contest or event. House points, $Cool Cash, and profile "items" are among the most prominent prizes. Other prizes may or may not include custom titles, custom user groups, custom forums, and the likes.
Contests & Events
Be sure to read the first post in any contest thread to ensure that you understand the task and the deadline. All contest end-times are in Eastern Standard Time. Be sure to look up EST to know when deadlines are coming up based on your personal time zone.
Event List
The event list starts in the second post. Each week during the 13-week BOTH event, a post will be added to this thread containing information about the week's contest(s) or event(s). Links will be provided to each individual event as they begin.
