[Game] The Judges Factor [Possible Idea/ Launch]

Hello All :)

I've been thinking of an idea for a game which necessarily hasn't been done before; I wanted to keep it fairly traditional, however be slightly different. So I came up with 'The Judges Factor'

The Game requires 4 judges to be taking part.

The Judges Factor doesn't have ordinary categories, however each judge on the panel will be given a specific judge from the TV Show; either a UK, US or OZ judge as identified below. Once the panel have been allocated their judge, they will pick their acts from any of those contestants that the said judge has mentored.

The 'Judges' are as below:
Simon Cowell [11 series]
Louis Walsh [11 series]
Sharon Osborne [5 series]
Dannii Minogue [6 Series]
Cheryl Cole [4 Series]
Gary Barlow [3 Series]
Tulisa Contastavlos [2 Series]
Kelly Rowland [2 Series]
Nicole Scherzinger [3 Series]
Mel B [3 Series]
L.A. Reid [2 Series]
Demi Lavato [2 Series]
Ronan Keating [5 Series]
Guy Sebastian [3 Series]
Natalie Bassingthwaite [4 Series]
Redfoo [2 Series]
Wildcard* (Kate Ceberano, Mark Holden, John Reid, Natalie Imbruglia, Kyle Sanidlands, Paula Abdul, Britney Spears, Paulina Rubio) [1 Series]

*I wasn't originally going to include the 1 Series judges, however then thought lob them together as a sort of 'wildcard' group so someone could potentially get them. Obviously some of the acts cross countries; Dannii and Nicole for instance and off course Mel B.

Therefore if one judge is allocated Gary Barlow, they have any of Gary's finalists from Series 8,9 and 10 to choose to mentor. If you are allocated Nicole Scherzinger you will have any act from series 9, 10 and US Series 1. Judges will be asked to select 4 acts - they can all be from the same series, completely different series be groups, overs, unders or overs.

In order for this to happen, the judges will be given a randomly generated number and each of the panel will be asked to pick a number between 1 and 17. One given, they will be told which Judge they can select acts from.

However before any of that, It's always good to gage some form of interest and to see if people want to be a judge. I've never run a game before - apart from the mahoosive ranking games; however I like to complain when I'm a judge on other people's games :D so thought I'd give it a go... then people can complain at me.

Anyway if people are interested then drop us a PM, expressing an interest and if you have any other experience on the games. You've got until next Saturday to send me a PM, obviously if there is interest then that may be shorter, if it dies on it's arse then again could be shorter :D

If something like the above has been done before then just say, however just thought it would be a bit different than just sticking to one series or one particular category :)

As I said looking for four judges ideally, then the fun can begin :)

    I remember a game long ago called Battle Of The Judges which was hosted by Stephen. The format was different though so I think yours is actually quite unique. :)

    I'm not sure if I'll sign up, because my mentoring career will be coming to an end soon...

    Either way, I will most definitely be watching and I hope this takes off. :cool:

    The Judges have now been selected and confirmed and I think it's a strong diverse panel of judges :D

    Anyway join us this evening when the judges will be revealed, also the categories for the chosen judges.... AND the acts which the judges are going to mentor throughout the series.

    All will be revealed from 6PM this evening :)

    Hello and welcome to everyone and I guess seeing as I'm a kind of vocal forum member that's been around for a decade on here, it is possibly odd that I've never actually hosted a game before. I've been an irritating/ picky judge and won the odd series, however this is my first time hosting - so if it all goes tits up then my sincerest apologies to all involved :D.

    First of all thanks to all those that applied to be a judge as part of the first panel for The Judges Factor!

    The Series is set to run for 10 shows and will feature 16 acts (so as you can tell there are some double eliminations planned for a couple of the shows).

    I'm going to start off introducing the panel and then go about the whole categories/ which acts are through to the shows. We have managed to get together a fairly good panel (IMO off course) to steer the first series and without further ado, I will begin by introducing the fabulous panel....
