YR, the new
CARDSMITH
LEAGUE SERIES

This is one place you can drop a weekly card for the YouTube Shorts. Internally, we run a league leaderboard where we tally up each cards views after one week. Then we have a fun little playoff at the end of the season for special feature videos. Drop a card every week, or a schedule of cards for the coming weeks. Seasons are 3 months long, but you can join at any time.

🚫 Be very careful replying to YouTube comments πŸ’¬ Ignore the negative ones πŸ§Œ Be nice to others and don't feel the need to comment on your own cards πŸ«’ Let the world blab away πŸ«£ It's honestly more fun that way πŸ˜Œ Grab some popcorn and enjoy the show! πŸΏπŸΉ

    So, am I correct that we get one card per week, but we have to post them here?  There's no more just passively making cards and having them count?  This brings up a bunch of other questions:
    Can we just post the same card every week if we think it'll win?
    Can we post really old cards?
    Can we post cards from other sites?
    Do we just not get to participate (or at least don't stand a chance of winning) if we aren't engaged every week?

    Also, am I correct in that views is going to determine winners?  This sounds like it would be pretty easy to make this turn into a contest of who has the most friends rather than just relying on merit (not that I'm likely to win either way, but, as a teacher, I'm super wary of similar contest set ups, as they tend to just let the popular kids win everything).

    Finally, for my last question, and with apologies for being perhaps overly interrogative and even a little critical, are we starting this in October with the new season, or are you hoping to go ahead and start now and get something in for September?

    You can reuse the same card each week, but you'll see why that's a lame idea.

    You can post any card you've made, even from other sites.

    If you don't submit a card each week, that's fine. I'll pick something random in your collection. You can also drop a set of cards up front for me to pull from if you think you'll be away awhile. Or even schedule them out.

    The winning/losing the matches based on views is aside from the point. This aint about whose card is better designed or ready for print. The real purpose here is exposure. 

    Starting in October to give people a chance to rejoin. Meanwhile, you can jump into the beta league.

    Cybertechnomagic! xD

    Ok, first i use a paper and a pencil and draw a sketch. If it looks kinda ok, i scan it. Then i use MS Paint (and im not ashamed to admit it!) to color it and make some minor corrections. Then fine tuning starts and thats with photoshop. And sometimes i use AI.
