Special thanks to SmittyW for providing the amazing aura

The Contest
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This contest follows a standard tournament style double-elimination.
Each round we will randomly pair you against a different team, and you will both build a world with the same theme. Only the winner gets to advance.
If you lose once, however, it’s not over. You will keep getting placed against different teams until you lose twice. If you lose twice throughout the contest, you are then eliminated.
If you want more information, there will be a chart later in the thread that shows how this will work, but the only information you need to know each round is the theme, the world size, your competitors, and whether or not you have been eliminated.

Contest Details
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There will be multiple rounds, each one will have a specific theme and world size to follow.
Your team must follow the world size that is specified each round
Themes will not be revealed until the beginning of each round.
The tournament brackets can be seen at https://challonge.com/oeet

- No more than 3 people per team.
- Anyone in more than one team simultaneously will be disqualified
- No alts allowed on separate teams.
- Your level must follow the theme of that given round
- Difficulty does not matter, though keep in mind that brutal difficulty will naturally detract from gameplay score.
- Levels MUST match the world size specified at the start of each round
- Bosses and bot assisted levels are not allowed. Cooperation levels aren’t allowed unless specified otherwise.

Tips
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- We understand that it may be confusing to keep track of things, but remember that you ONLY have to worry about the round that you are currently participating in. Simply check which bracket you are in, and you will be able to view the deadlines, theme, and world size.
- Don't procrastinate! When the building period is over, you will not be allowed to edit anymore, and there is now a feature to enforce this.
- Again, difficulty technically doesn't matter, but brutal levels have the tendency to get annoying.
- Try to stock up on the worlds that you'll need ahead of time so you're ready for each round.
- Have fun!

▼Round 1

~ Signups have ended, Round 1 will now commence! ~

The Theme
-------------------------------------
And the first theme is... Opposites!
According to google, an opposite is "a person or thing that is totally different from or the reverse of someone or something else". Your interpretation of this is up to you.

This world MUST be created in a Medium world. Any other world sizes will be disqualified.

.

Submitting the level
-------------------------------------
To submit your world, PM me (Kirby) on the forums, with the following format:
Team Name:
Team Members:
World ID:
Your world MUST be submitted to us BEFORE the deadline, or we will not judge it.
After your world is submitted to us, you will no longer be allowed to edit it until the judging period is over.

.

Judging
-------------------------------------
As this contest is filled with many 1 on 1 situations, the judges will try their best to decide which world is better as objectively as possible.
What goes into a good world?
First things first, it must fit the theme. Even if it fits loosely, you must clearly incorporate it as the central theme in your level.
From there, it's up to you. There are 3 main aspects that go into making a good world - Gameplay, Art, and Concept. When building your level, it is fine to focus on one, but you should try your hardest to not make it come at the expense of the others.
Overall, you want to make your level as enjoyable as possible. A level that's more easy on the eyes is more enjoyable than one that isn't. A level with a fascinating, unique concept (if executed well), is likely more enjoyable than standard minigames. Most importantly though, fun gameplay is far more enjoyable than tedious gameplay.
As I mentioned in the rules post, difficulty does not matter in your world, but if the difficulty is too difficult, it's hard to make it not inherently tedious. Keep this in mind.

.

Good luck! We're excited to see what you all come up with! If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the discussion topic. To see who your opponent is, check challonge.com/OEET

What goes into a good world?
First things first, it must fit the theme. Even if it fits loosely, you must clearly incorporate it as the central theme in your level.
From there, it's up to you. There are 3 main aspects that go into making a good world - Gameplay, Art, and Concept. When building your level, it is fine to focus on one, but you should try your hardest to not make it come at the expense of the others.
Overall, you want to make your level as enjoyable as possible. A level that's more easy on the eyes is more enjoyable than one that isn't. A level with a fascinating, unique concept (if executed well), is likely more enjoyable than standard minigames. Most importantly though, fun gameplay is far more enjoyable than tedious gameplay.
As I mentioned in the rules post, difficulty does not matter in your world, but if the difficulty is too difficult, it's hard to make it not inherently tedious. Keep this in mind.

The losers bracket is going to get faster and faster, so make sure to keep up!

The Theme
_________________________________________________

And the theme for this round is... Sequel!
Pick any EE world that you and your team members were NOT involved in the creation of, and create a sequel to the world. You will only be judged on the new sequel world, but you cannot use the original world as an excuse for poor gameplay/other aspects, so choose your original wisely. Please place a world portal to the original world at the start for reference.

This world MUST be created in a LARGE WORLD. Any other world sizes will be disqualified.

~ THE FINALS~

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

64 teams have entered this tournament, but now only two remain: Team MusicMan, who dominated the winners bracket, and Team End Quote, who fought their way through the losers bracket.

One of the defining aspects of this tournament was the Double Elimination system. Every team had 2 chances before they were eliminated. Except for one. Since MusicMan is the winner of the winners bracket, he does not get to have a second chance after this round.

Because of this, MusicMan has decided the theme for the finals. Open the spoiler below to see it!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

note - as LR10 judging ran late, the deadline has been adjusted accordingly.
