Case Modding Showdown II – 2010

http://showdown.newmodcity.com

We are proudly sponsored by Lamptron and Frozen-Q PC Mods

The Case Modding Showdown is back, better and improved!!

What is New?

• New Scoring System: It means more points, and voting will be obsolete after this Showdown.
• More Bonus Points: More bonus points than the previous Showdown; read the “Rules & General Information” link below to find out how to get them.
• Hidden Bonus Points: These points will be hidden in the community and you will have to find them to get them. You will have to level up to get the hint for the hidden points. There are 5 levels in total, so now you have the chance to get even more points in the competition.

We reduced the 11 Categories from last year to 8 Categories and added an additional Category for Modding Forums (Forum vs Forum) where your forum will be able to battle for Modding Supremacy on the Cyberworld.

Registration: May 21, 2010 – August 31, 2010
