Title: The 2012 Elite Summer Contest [Send your Top Ten Eliters!]
Post by: Ngamer on May 24, 2012, 05:29:28 am
The proudest annual Elite tradition is back!  Grit your lungs for the

2012 Elite Summer Contest

Since the format of the past few years was such a hit, we're going to be sticking with it... which means this season's Contest bracket will once again be decided by YOU.  Your nominations will determine both who makes the final cut and what seeding/position they earn within the bracket, so choose wisely.

How To Nom
* pick out the 10 Eliters you would most like to see make the field this year
* all of our former Champs already have a place reserved, so do NOT use a nom on them  (as a reminder, that's Snap, Ngamer, Clark, Shade, Boss, Wouter, Infil, QB, and Illu)
* you may not nominate yourself

Any method of submitting your choices will be just fine.

+ Post your 10 names right here in this topic (if you don't mind them being public)
+ Nom through the Boards - Hover the icons below my avatar, look for "Personal Message" and click that to send a private message to Ngamer64
+ Nom through E-mail - Send your choices to ngamer@gmail.com
+ Nom through AIM - IM your 10 Eliters over to ImNgamer
+ Nom through facebook - Submit your picks in a private message to Jon Bearder

Nominations will remain open until May 30th, so you have 5ish days to make your decision.

Need a little help coming up with a full list?  As a refresher, here are the bios of everyone who has made a Contest since 2005:

OR, here's every bracket since the first one way back in 2003, if you'd like an even better perspective:

http://speedrunwiki.com/Elite_Summer_Contest (http://speedrunwiki.com/Elite_Summer_Contest)

But keep in mind that you're also free to nominate a different Eliter who is either new or just hasn't ever made a Contest before- it's entirely up to you!
---

Because it's like my mother always said... the tenth time's the charm.  Happy nomming, and here's looking forward to another fun Summer!

Just edit it out for him.  Jon has given everybody administrative capabilities.
