Bingo 03.25 - Team Challenge

[prisca]

Here you can find general information for the team challenge. As always, the team challenge is optional, but it offers the opportunity to earn additional individual points.

There will be two teams: Team Alpha & Team Omega. Sign up if you want to get assigned to a team.

Rules
To participate, post at least one work for the weekly regular challenge.
Participants can post one work every week to earn points for their assigned teams, plus some individual points.
Squares can be used multiple times by different participants.

Every fill comes with a minimum:
100 words
1 haiku
2 icons (100x100)
1 graphic work bigger than an icon

Let's play
Each team will get its own bingo card with 25 squares.
As a team, try to complete horizontal/vertical bingo lines, and ideally, the card.
When both teams have finished their card, there will be a new one (maximum three).

Points
Team
One point for every posted piece of work.
When finishing a bingo line within two weeks, the team earns four points.
When finishing a bingo line within three+ weeks, the team earns two points.
A Blackout brings ten points for the first team finishing the card and five points for the second team.

Individual
After finishing a bingo line (as a team) within two week, everyone who submitted a fill for the given line will receive two points for each work.
After finishing a bingo line (as a team) within three+ weeks, everyone who submitted a fill for the given line will receive one point for each work.
After completing the card as a team, each fill will be rewarded with one point.

Posting
Always make a separate post for a team fill.
Leave the name of your team and the used prompt in the subject line.

Sign up
Sign-up for a team will stay open until September 10.
To sign up for the team challenge, leave a comment on this post.
You can request to be assigned to a team (Alpha or Omega), but I cannot guarantee anything, as I will strive to keep the teams as evenly balanced as possible.

IMPORTANT: When signing up, please leave five prompts (one-word prompts or short quotes are fine) that will make it into the random team prompt list for the opposing team.
Please don't suggest prompts from the regular prompt list!

Example for signing up:
I want to play.
Team preference: none
Prompts: summer - love - red - tired - It's okay!

This challenge is accompanied by a team challenge to offer even more fun. Participation is optional. Go here for the basic information and sign up.

Sign-up
Sign up for the challenge here until September 10, at midnight in your timezone.

Let's play
After getting your bingo card, you are ready to play.
You may create fandom works, original works, and real-person works.
You may complete one to five single squares every week.
Every square requires one complete work; single chapters are allowed as long as they can be read as stand-alone works.
Don't mix up two or more squares in one work.
Bingos can overlap, but if you re-use a prompt for a second bingo, you will have to create a new work for the square.

Once you have completed at least three bingos on your card, you may ask for a new one (four cards maximum).

Fills Minimum
Every square comes with a minimum of:
100 words
1 haiku
2 icons (100x100)
1 graphic work bigger than an icon
Important: Don't use screenshots or stock photos without any editing.
Animated icons and graphics are allowed.

Points
You will receive 2 points for every filled square, regardless of its length and size.

You will get points for every completed Bingo.
3 points for every free bingo
5 points for every general bingo
10 points for a blackout (previously completed bingos count)

You can earn even more points by following some requirements.
Complete a general/free Bingo (= 5 squares) with
- the same fandom
- five different fandoms
- the same work type (example: icons only)
- five different works (example: one wallpaper, one moodboard, one drabble, one ficlet, one poem)
and you will earn plus 3 points.
If you combine two of the requirements (example: 5 squares with the same fandom plus the same work type) you can earn plus 5 points.

Complete a card (Blackout = 25 squares) with 25 different fandoms and you will earn plus 10 points.

Wildcards
At the beginning of the challenge, you will get five wildcards. You can use them in three different ways:
1. If you have missed a week, you can play a wildcard and you are allowed to complete five extra squares in the following week(s).
2. Swap two prompts from your card (example: prompt N5 goes to I2)
3. Delete a prompt from your card and use one of your choice from the prompt list.

How do I post?
All works should be posted at fandom_empire_workplace. Please notice: If you are not a member of this community yet, I will send you an invitation asap.

Use a header and a cut, or a header and a link, if you prefer to post elsewhere, such as AO3.

You can combine multiple works in a single post. Always make a note of the prompt(s) and/or the used bingo square(s) in the header. Thank you!
