Official Twilight Fest Rules

It's something round that bounces. Examples are: a tennis ball, a golf ball, a ping-pong ball, a nerf ball, a basketball, a four-square ball, a soccer ball. A jai-alai ball.
 
Matzo ball .... No

I stated it before in an earlier post but its several pages back so probably worth re-iterating. The definition of ball that we will be using as our rule of them when evaluating the entries is:

Ball Definition said:
round or roundish body, of various size and material, either hollow or solid, for use in games, as baseball, football, tennis, or golf, etc.

hey i'm just looking out for the guys who dont know better. because you might find someone throw in a ball of fire an consider it fair game.

so i'm assuming you have never played who can eat the gum ball the fastest and bobbing for matzo balls....
 
If folks would put as much energy into making creative films, as they do into trying to find creative ways around our rules, then I bet we'd have a lot of amazing entries! :thumbsup:

No matzo balls, mothballs, charity balls, no fireballs, no establishing shots of the city of Ball, Louisiana... go with the definition Larry said (although I still say a crystal ball would be acceptable, because fortunetelling could be considered a game and besides, a crystal ball might tie in nicely with someone's idea of a twilightfest film).

Well, if you read back through this thread those considerations have been discussed. If someone chooses to ignore the various posts we have placed on here then they do so at their peril.

I appreciate that everyone likes to have fun with the "required element" and try to push the envelope with creative expressions of it ... but you would be better advised to spend your creative energies on your story and just take the required element as it is.

Crystal ball should definitely be allowed... what's wrong with you, Larry??

I believe in Barry's original clarification post he made an exception for Crystal Balls ... that is the ONLY exception. All other balls must fit the criteria specified in my definition above.
 
If I can't see it, I will disqualify you ... if it is not a crystal ball or does not meet the definition specified in my earlier post, I will disqualify you

(and by "you" I don't mean the filmmaker, I mean you...karapetkov :evil: )
