Basically, if you did'nt already know, I had the idea to set a list of plaza based challenges that the local teams- Autumn, Clone, Shire and Simple, needed to complete as many as possible, within the time limit. Each trick carried a 'points' value and the teams had to accrue points as they worked through the list.

The videos were posted here and then viewers of the videos were asked to vote, via e-mail, for their favourite one, taking on board the tricks done off the list, style, gnar, innovation and general editing etc. The voting started on Sunday 9th December 2007 and ended on Saturday 5th January 2008. The votes each counted as a point and the total was added to the 'points score'. This then gave us our winner!

I hope you lot enjoyed the comp!
