check-in number two NOW WITH fancy judging criteria

aeron


the rules of the game...
it's about time we laid down some ground rules, much like the fabulous "iron chef" we will be rating the beards on a points system. Iron Chef chooses 20 points - 10 for taste, 5 for plating and 5 for originality; here on Iron Face we are raising that to 50 points. Here's the breakdown:
Length: 10 pts
Depth: 10 pts
Coverage/Patchiness: 10 pts
Symmetry: 5 pts
Growth over time: 5pts (how the beard grew in)
Bushiness: 5 pts
Lushness: 5 pts
A panel of experts will be brought in for the judging- profiles & resumes to follow.

To reward our loyal readers, and those of you who have grown to love the beards as much as the beards love you, we are also having a special people's choice award. This honor is to be bestowed upon the bewhiskered man whose overall look has been enhanced the most by the facial hair.

The stakes:
So what are we playing for?
Well, honor of course. (see title)
Also, the winner will be treated by the loser to a first class shave at the barber of his choice. Also, the judges and moderator will take the winner out for night of 'Celebrating the Beard'.
