INTERNATIONAL DJ-ING COMPETITION 2008 - OFFICIAL DISCUSSIONS, page 6

that is a great idea (the qualifications)

agreed. there should be 1 team per country anyway. what's all this megalomania out of the sudden?
     

we need to see more talntes thats why we are aiming to get more than 1 team but I think if it's done as the football championships 32 get to 16 then 8 then 4 at the end 2 and 1 Winner

so I think we can get more than 4 teams in 1 country but there will be only 1 team will get the chance to go to the finals or maybe we can qualify djs them selves if we have 4 teams in Egypt as an example  so this means 20 DJ and 5 Djs will be winners in every kind of genre and those 5 whom are going to represent Egypt  in the finals so that it's fair for every person

maybe qualifications between teams is easier but it's little bit not fair coz maybe there is a super star dj in between 4 losers  

also the aim of the event is to have a good reputation with good and talented up coming djs this is all for TM reputation and the djs who are parpicpating who knows if this year goes as planned the old fashion way maybe will have super star djs partipating next year    yes why not ? old is the best way to ago 2 teams are also acceptable but no more than that  

so...what can i say guys....stop tolking about unduly ideas.... we have 20 days to finish the teams,sets and etc...  

you're wrong.. there's about 25 days to make teams, and there'll be 2 more weeks there to submit music. so we've got time..

Definitely maximum 2, but rather 1 team per country, if U ask me :)
No need to make it like a championship, coz it's not football, it's music, don't forget that.
Somehow last year it wasn't a problem, everybody agreed on the 1 team / country basis...

Well Put My Friend !  

how about this one...

every website community member can become a part of IDC 2008, and temporary (up until a few weeks after the final results are published in 2008) upgrade their status to one of the following: Judge, Contestant, Listener, Supporter (an "upgrade" will result into several possible idc functions, as described below, and special signs of honor - little pictures - added to nickname everywhere throughout the website's pages).

an Honorary IDC 2008 Judge will have to commit to the IDC in full power, as Judges will be required to listen to up to 4-5 hours of IDC music per day (when the judgment time period comes), and submit their grades on the 2 different aspects - DJ work (mixing, scratching, technical side) and Track-List (Selection of tracks, their arrangement, etc) - on the scale of 1 to 5, commenting on at least 1-2 sets per team. Judges will have to stay rather country-insensitive, show cold judgment and no priorities or favorites. Judges will be disqualified if noticed to intentionally rate their home-country-djs higher than other djs. it will only be Judges' votes that will have affect on the final IDC 2008 standings. as was mentioned before, if newly promoted Judge has community member class less than V.I.P., it will be upgraded to V.I.P. for the time of the competition.

an IDC Contestant will be any DJ participating in the IDC 2008. Contestants will have to be a part of a "team" by the time Competition kicks off, or their upgraded status will be downgraded, as it will be on anyone falsely registering as IDC Contestant, and a warning of up to 1 month long will be issued..

an Official IDC 2008 Listener will be required to download at least 55% of all IDC torrents by the time the Judgment Period starts, or 75% of them by the Judgment DAY time-spot. listeners will be allowed to vote alongside with Judges, at the same time, their votes won't have to be on all the sets, but only on those they've snatched, and listeners' ratings and votes will be going to the Unofficial IDC 2008 standings, as that "Best DJ in competition", "best house dj", "best trance dj", "best tracklist" etc. it is expected that Official Listeners will have the main role in finding out "best in..." titles assignments.

an official IDC 2008 Supporter will be something similar to the Official Listener, only Supporters will only have to download at least 25% of the sets by the Judgment DAY time-spot, they will be allowed to cast their votes and ratings at the last week of the Competition.

people that will decide not to "upgrade" their status for the time of the IDC 2008, will still be allowed to cast their votes, again affecting only the unofficial IDC 2008 ratings and standings, and the time to do it will be the week before the judgment DAY.

and Possible but not complete, an IDC 2008 timetable...

[Yet to Open, and till the end of December 2007] team submissions, status upgrades, etc
[January 1st, 2008 to January 15th, 2008] submission of the IDC music from Contestants, final time-table rearrangements allowed still, due to yet unknown number of Teams and amount of music, it must be final by that time.
[Let's say, 1 week to download and stuff]
[January 22nd, 2008 to maybe February 5th, 2008] or so, we'll see - the Judgment Period, when judges are to download all the music and to judge it, as well as official listeners to snatch at least 55% of the torrents. only Judges and Official Listeners can submit their grades at this time.
[February 5th - February 12th = Judgment DAY time-spot] when all the scores from Judges will be finalized and finished, and submitted, and all the ratings from Listeners also finished, as well as Supporters will also be allowed to vote and their ratings summarized, all IDC 2008 results should be available by the end of that time - on 12th of Feb or so - The Judgment DAY itself...  

ps.. as i was mentioning before - this is still to be discussed and rediscussed.

as a matter of fact, you guys don't know, and blah-blah-blah, but it was a VERY BIG thing, when some people weren't allowed to join their national teams, so they went and made their teams on "country of residence" thing... and this year we've already received several notes like "i hope this-that person won't be making our national team again, cause i know more djs and can make our national team way better than last year".

yes, i know, thats why i wanted in the 1st place everybody have the chance to join

Great to have the IDC competition back.
Just wondering who is interested from Canada.
I play Tribal/prog house and would love to be part of the team.
Do hit me up

Cheers

whatever...I'm in :)

like I mentioned before: 'a' hungarian team is ready :) whether or not there will be others.
as soon as I see where can I enter the contest, I'll do so :)
cheers
