Default Re: Sikk's first GOF: Pic intensive!

Thank all of youfor your comments. You're all welcome to the format but just so you all know the scoring actualy breaks down further in my notes. Ex each third gets 1-10 points for appearence 1-10 points for construction 1-10 points for burn quality and 1-20 points for taste, then I add those and multiply by two to give the final total of 1-100 points
