Welcome to the Mysteryfest League!
The Mysteryfest League is open to everyone at any time! To join, just participate in any of my contests called "Mysteryfest" on the forums or Discord. You're automatically in the league once you join a Mysteryfest.
Key Points:
- Flexible, easy to access, and fair.
- Each season lasts 12 weeks (3 months) and is made up of different Mysteryfests.
Special Features:
- Video Reviews & YouTube Exposure: Random entries will get a short video review (less than 1 minute) posted to YouTube Shorts.
- Earn Points: You get 1 point for participating in each Mysteryfest, plus bonus points based on the Likes your YouTube Shorts videos receive.
Community Voting:
- At the end of each Mysteryfest, you can nominate your favorite card (not your own). You'll earn points equal to the number of votes your card gets.
Season Championship:
- At the end of each season, a single-elimination Mysteryfest will take place. You'll compete within your skill tier. Champions win a full-length 5-card video review and a YouTube Shorts video of their favorite card. 2nd place gets a Shorts video of their favorite card.
Points & Tiers:
- Points reset every season, but your total points determine your tier for the next season.
- Tiers only affect who you compete against in the Championship, not your ability to win points.
A-Tier (Top 20% of Points)
B-Tier (20-40% of Points)
C-Tier (40-60% of Points)
D-Tier (60-80% of Points)
E-Tier (Bottom 20% of Points)

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.

how do you make all your artwork?
With the power of punctuation, I can turn "cybertechnomagic" into "cybertech- no magic."

Time to dive into November! Let's blend themes of change, decay, harvest, remembrance, and the chilling transition into winter. Post πβ or ask, "What do the winds blow?"
@LvB ;Create a curse that forces its victim to watch as their body decays before their eyes.
