Ladies and gentleman, it is with great pride that I bring to you a game from years gone by that was once started but never got finished, Luck Of The Draw!

In case you're not sure how this works, let me give you a brief description.

This game will work out in the usual format, four judges will get one category each (boys, girls, overs and groups), but the difference here is that you don't get to choose which UK acts you like to mentor.

Instead, once you get your assigned category, I will be randomizing the list of acts in the category and then, you must pick four numbers at random. So for example, if you have the girls, you have to pick four numbers between 1 and 32, I would then reveal which girls are behind those numbers.

If you want more details on this, you will have to wait until I can get a panel confirmed, so to anyone on here, if you believe you have what it takes to be a great mentor that can rely on not just your mentoring skills, but also have a bit of luck in picking numbers, then use this short application form below:

Name:
Nickname:
Why Do You Want To Join:
What Can You Bring To The Table:
(Optional) Previous Experiences (If Any):

I will be accepting all application forms until Friday 6th at Midnight, where I will hopefully have a panel ready by 7pm, so you have five days to send them in, if you want to take part. I fully encourage anyone to sign up, because we all know what happened last time with Battle Of The Seasons and I hope this doesn't happen again.

And if that's not enough, I have also written up a few twists which I think you're gonna love.

Good luck to anyone who's signing up and may fortune favor the brave.

There's still time for you to sign up, could do with a few more application forms.

Just a reminder that the deadline is tomorrow, but I haven't received enough forms.

So it looks like the launch of this game will be delayed at the moment.

Not too surprising considering everyone is busy with Team Factor.

There is a reason I was determined to have Mix finish before TF properly started, you know? Anyway, good luck with this game. It's nice to see an ancient format like this get revived.

Which proves that I need to work on game scheduling a lot more.

I guess I can push this to one side until TF finishes.

Is this off?

No, I actually forgot to say that this game is going to be postponed.

I plan to pick this back up after the first day of April and see what happens.

Of course, those who wanna sign up, you still can from now until then.

Just a reminder that I will be re-launching this thread with the confirmed panel in April, I just need one more to sign up, but you lot are more than welcome to join or watch.

I'd be privileged to join the panel Steve now I've read a bit about this.

Well folks, I have received a few more applications, so the deadline will be pushed forward to Saturday 21st March, and due to a change of plans outside DS, the date of the launch has been moved forward to Monday 23rd March.

I apologize if this causes any problems.

21-03-2015
Well folks I thank you for your forms, but the deadline has passed and I have my four judges so stay tuned until Monday night for the panel reveal along with everything else.

Alright ladies and gentleman, I welcome you all to the panel reveal and all the other info that is to follow and I have plenty to say as we progress with the launch. First off, it's time to reveal who's on the panel, so let's not waste any time and judges if you are here, do not post until I tell you.

Our first judge is a person who has become well credited for being a mentor and a host, he has won two games and once hosted the very successful Vs. Factor before its retirement. He has taken a break since then, but he is back to mentor once more and secure a third win, it is...

Our second judge is also no stranger to being a mentor, his love for youtube links and posting anything that counts as nostalgia is well received from others (including myself. ) Appearing on the panel and hoping to secure his first win, it can only be.

A mentor's career will begin officially for this fourth and final judge. There is not much that we know, but like everyone else, that's what these games are about, so we can find out more about a mentor's style. I give you...

Now that we have our panel, it's time to assign the categories, two of the judges have already been assigned theirs and I have thier assigned choices already.

First up is Jacka and he has got...

Spoiler
THE BOYS!

He hasn't had this category since The Chance Factor Series 2, he also had to pick four numbers between 1 and 33 and the four boys would be assigned to him at random.


Next up is Nathan and he has got...

Spoiler
THE OVERS!

This will be the first time he's had this category, so we can expect some great things I'm sure, he had to pick four numbers between 1 and 39 and his four Overs would be assigned to him at random.


This leaves us with the girls and the groups.

The Voice, you have got...

Spoiler
THE GROUPS!

You've had some experience back on Battle Of The Seasons, but this will be the first time you'll mentor a full category of groups.


Which means that Will, you are left with...

Spoiler
THE GIRLS!

What a category to start your mentoring career with, with some advice from the veterans as well as having a bit of luck, I hope you put it to good use.


So, I hope you're all happy with your categories, the explanation and the reveal of the top 16 will be posted shortly.

Okay Nathan, take it easy.

Now for the next step, with your categories assigned, I will ask you to pick four numbers at random (Jacka and Nathan have already done this so I'll post them here.) and the four acts behind those numbers will be assigned to you at random.

First is Jacka's boys and he picked numbers 5, 11, 19 and 23.

And these are his four boys assigned to him.
