Greetings,
After last years grand success we are back again with yet another challenge to find the one and only, the true incarnation, the real freediving god of this year.
The art of bubble-ringing has lately received a huge influx of new and promising athletes. We all look forward to an even tighter competition with even closer results. The plot thickens, indeed!
Also, to avoid conspiracies and manipulations in the eventual voting process, we have reviewed and refined the judging procedure. A separate thread will describe the details of it. Still, what will remain is that every deeperblue member will have the opportunity to judge.
But first, here are the rules for participation:
1. Bubble rings must be done while freediving and logically you may only submit your own work. Please, try very hard to make the best bubble ring you can and don't submit it until you are sure it is perfect. We want to see your BEST work.
2. Only two bubble ring submissions (photos) per athlete are allowed. You can post one immediately, and another one before the deadline, if you think the competition is too fierce and you need more practise ;-)
3. Any submitted photo must, obviously, contain at least one bubble ring. The size of submitted photos should be 600x800.
4. Deadline for all submissions is the 10th October 2006. Any bubble ring posted on a later date will not be considered.
5. After the deadline a poll will be opened (on a separate thread) with the names of all freedivers who submitted a valid bubble ring. The voting deadline will be the 30th of November 2006.
6. Only deeperblue members may act as judges.
7. The winner will be Bubble Ring World Champion 2006
The heat is on.
For honour and glory,
Roland
