Project Two: The Golf War
Mini golf is always a good entry level Armchair Imagineering project that by its nature makes it easy to divide up bite-sized parts of the overall assignment to different team members. That's exactly why it's what you'll be working with for the first project in the season's official teams. For this project, teams will be assigned 30 acres to design an 18 hole miniature golf course. The catch is, all three of the courses the teams design must reside within the same miniature golf complex. This essentially acts as the game's first ever CROSSOVER PROJECT! This is NOT a big group project, and there will not be a centralized hub for collaborating the ideas. Instead, teams must rely on checking in on what the other teams are doing to make sure their concepts sync up to form the one unified whole of "DISNEY'S GOLFLAND".
This should be a really interesting experiment in the brainstorming of each individual team impacting the other two on some level.
Here's where things get interesting. Teams must assign a project leader within the first 24 hours of a project. It is the project leader's responsibility to guide the brainstorming, but they don't necessarily have to post the finished product if scheduling is an issue. Most importantly, each round the project leader will nominate two people for elimination and one person for PoMVP. If the team looses, the judges will deliberate between which of the two nominees to eliminate from the game based on performance within the project. If the team wins, the PoMVP nominee will be safe from being nominated for elimination the following round. Once you've been project leader once, you're not allowed to do it again until everyone on your team has done so.
It's worth noting that were all well aware that real life stuff is going to come up and are willing to be flexible during this time. If you're going to be inactive for a round, all we ask is that you notify your team. Don't get me wrong, I don't want anyone using this as a free pass and am trusting an honor system by putting this into place. I'm willing to be flexible, but this is still a game with 18 in the cast and only three people ultimately making the finals,, so eliminations WILL happen most every round barring really outstanding outside the game circumstances, including multiple DOUBLE ELIMINATION rounds we have strategically planned out throughout the next ten rounds. The game is a'foot!
Good luck teams. This project is due Friday, June 5th at 11:59PM Eastern/8:59PM Pacific.
