ON3P WORST TOPSHEET CONTEST 2011

Thats right, ITS BACK! After such an atrocious winner last year, we had to do it again.

https://newschoolers.com/ns/cult/contest/id/2788/cid/8/

Please do read carefully through the rules if you want your entry to have a serious shot. We had some great ones last year that had to be disqualified because of our one lone rule, so please help us out! The contest is open to general submission till APRIL 15th! After that, we here at ON3P will go through and decide the top 64 to seed the brackets, and then its over to you guys to decide who's topsheet is the ugliest thing that would ever be put on a pair of skis. And, as last year, if you win, you get ANY 2011/2012 ski*, with your creation gracing the topsheet! And no, you cant trade it for a stock ski, you get what you make.

*Applies to all 2011/2012 skis, excludes any special edition or customs.


To get you guys amped, I figured we should set the bar rather high and show you what can be done with 2 hours of goofing around. And no, we cant make this, read the contest rule.

Lets turn this contest up to 11!

A lot of the skis you guys picked are actually cool looking graphics and people would actually buy them or look like they took about five minutes in MS paint. If I had known that was going to be the case I would have spent a lot less time on mine!

The voting tree is still being put back together - there was a big problem with the system and it automatically loaded it up (wrong) so Rowen and Scott are working with NS to get it right. I don't remember specifically if you made the cut but there's still a lot of spots to fill in the tree!

Voting schedule is as follows, all polls close at 12pm EST, 9 Pacific. You have a single day to make any changes to your entry after a round of voting if you are a contestant, so if you think yours sucks, you can make it suck more.


Polls Close:

Round 1 - April 23th

Round 2 - April 26th

Round 3 - April 29th

Yeah, I lose, again. I'm sorry, but apparently the schedule I set for this contest is not working. I've got the admins working on it, but I think its automatically going to voting tonight at midnight EST.

Sorry this whole thing has been kind of a shitshow, but this is the worst contest of the year. NS is doing their best, just give it some time.

These are the final dates for any changes contestants want to make and the voting periods that will determine the final champion, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE.



Round 3
Upload Period - Just Wrapped up
Voting Period - NOW till April 27

Round 4
Upload Period - April 28- April 29
Voting Period - April 30-May 1

Round 5
Upload Period - May 2 - May 3
Voting Period - May 4 (Just one day!)

Round 6
Upload Period - May 6 - May 7
Voting Period - May 7 - May 10

Round 7 - FINALS
Upload Period - May 11 - May 13
Voting Period - May 14 - May 15


This stuff is going to go REALLY fast from now on, and getting friends and family to vote is encouraged (but if you spam the forums for contest sway, game over). May I remind people that the winner gets whatever ski they wish from our lineup next year, (excluding the Pillowfight, since thats already going to have a killer graphic) with your amazing work of art gracing the topsheet. One of a kind ski to impress the ladies down by the hot tub after you stomp that Lui Kang. GET RAD.

This is what I am hoping for as well. I would definitely pay for the Fish Sticks topsheet, but the overall 'worst topsheet' is a toss up between Iowa and Big Girls for sure.

Keep your chins up guys, the employee favorite will also get a set of skis with their topsheet. If you got into the top 64, theres a chance you could still get some ugly skis.
