    What texture pack will the builds be judged on?

    Or could we add an option to notify the judges of what texture pack they want to be viewing our build on.

    Do we only need one app per team? Or do all team members apply separately?

    We have suggested to our panel of judges that they use default.

    Only 1 app.

    Just an idea, put the winners/Andrew's favorite inside the market area somewhere.

    Also, could we put a description of the place in a book or something... almost to set the theme? Get our judges in the right mind set.

    I read that we mustn't break the slab border. However, is it allowed to exchange the dirt below them by something else like sand?

    What size are the plots? Do they vary or are they one standard size?

    Found a solution for the border problem. :)
    I read you can ask non-judging mods to place water/lava? I have a question about that...can extcreat(+) users do the strikethrough formatting? If yes, are we allowed to ask somebody with that feature to place the sign? And if yes, which mods don't judge?

    Not sure about the strikethrough part.

    A list of staff members who are able to help with features/stuff will be made soon.

    Follow-up to 314's question about altering the underground border of the plot:

    If underground border blocks are actually blocks like air/lava/water etc., are we allowed to alter them to stone for a solid border? :eek:

    Is there a height/depth limit?

    Edit:
    Say we want to have locked things in the final presentation (to avoid random people from locking) can we have a staff member who has the lwc space/desire to lock/sign our stuff?
