On Saturday, March 2nd, 2013, VeteranCraft will be hosting a Tree House Build-Off event. We are looking for a maximum ten individuals to compete to construct the most awe inspiring tree homes known to Minecraft!
Tree House Build-Off
Saturday, March 2nd, 2013
6:00 PM Eastern
Warp Sign in Vetropolis Plaza
To sign up for this event, simply fill out the quick form below and submit it before 11:59 PM, Friday, March 1st. The first ten applicants will be accepted, while those who apply after will be placed on a waiting list in the event that one of the initial ten contestants is not on-line before the event begins.
There are not many formal rules to this competition. Players must be on-line one half-hour before the start of the contest. Those who are not online by 5:30PM Eastern, even if they make it on-line before 6:00PM Eastern, will be unable to compete. Your creation must be original, NOT something you found on-line and re-created. You may not build outside of your zone, and you may not interfere with your fellow contestants' build zones.

Questions:
- Will the tree be provided, or will we be required to "grow" it ourselves? If it's provided, can we modify it if it doesn't suit our needs?
- What is the size of the build plots?
- How long will the Build Off last? The standard hour we've done before?
- Is this a single-player competition, or are teams allowed? Max number within a team?

I think this would be fun so:

One other thing- are we allowed to add on to the tree itself, it make it like a bigger tree to suit our needs?

For those wondering about the build off, or have concerns, per our past buildoff competitions:
the plot size will usually be announced on the day of the event, to hinder the "pre-planning" idea.
Materials are generally gathered by the competitors unless otherwise stated in the event description.
The "tree" is not limited to a single sapling + growth. The tree may be of your size of choosing. perhaps you wish to make an 8W x 8L x 100T tree, and hollow it out. This is not quite reasonable to build in an hour's time though. Make an effort to be creative, though. The more creative, the better the overall results.
** any special rules like tree supplied, built for you, team effort, or things of that nature would be posted in the original competition sign up.
I did not read any specifics, but would assume the competition lasts for 1 hour, single player, gather your own materials, build your own tree, and most importantly, have fun!
I will not be competing, though I will be there to show off your skills, and builds to the public via youtube.

These specifics weren't mentioned in the post or sign-up, so I will use these as true until told otherwise, thanks!

Light is correct - You use materials that you gather before.

I neglected to be as clear as I should have in my original post. It has been updated to better explain this competition.

Sorry to say this, but I'm afraid I may not be able to attend on Saturday. It's about a 50/50 chance I'll be there, so I would prefer to withdraw rather than leave you in the dark. Sorry!

Registration is closed, all names and permissions have been handed over. Contestants are free to ferry over materials early, setting up extra chests if needed. Building, outside of expanding your workstation, is strictly prohibited.
See you all at five thirty!
