A prop is used to more easily explain and present your idea of an event to us. It mainly follows the same format each time, but differs to your liking. Bellow we will explain the separate parts of a prop and what you should have.
1. The Heading/Banner You are, normally, going to want to start with a banner or some piece of art relating to your event (Note: if you do not have this, we will help supply it as needed). Once you have your banner at the top, you are going to write a short (or long) story or joke etc. that leads into the event. This is nice to get the participants into the mood of the event.
Example
2. The Objective(s)/Challenge(s)
This is where you are really going to get into this event. This is where you explain what exactly the person has to do. Be specific! We can't stress that enough. To avoid confusion further on, be as specific as you possibly can. Also, same thing goes here as the Heading, if you don't have a banner or art to easily display where the objectives are, we can supply you. For this, plain text works as well.
Example
3. The Rules
This is where you can narrow down the limits of the objective, and also declare things that the participants can't do, so they don't get in trouble, and it makes the event run a little smoother. Many of the main rules you should have include: No plagiarism, no hacking replays, and no alts. These usually apply to everything. Also, keep in mind that "reserve" posts are being infracted, so you might as well remind people.
Example
4. Prizes
This is what everyone's in it for. This one is also pretty simple, yet quite harder to make. When picking your prizes, you have to make sure that they are pretty balanced. This means making them a certain amount of tc per item, or tc itself. Remember that we supply ST and custom 3D items (if needed), but it is your job to either get a tc prize or item prize.
Example
5. Deadline
Normal events usually run for around 2-3 weeks. Tournaments are different and can heavily vary in time with a lot of variables.
Example
Conclusion
If you have an idea for an event, but don't have the things, or just want to be sponsored, please follow the tutorial above on how to create your own Prop to help us decide on how and if we should sponsor your next hit.

Acrophobia-and-vertigo-supressing-medicine has been administered to you during your most recent medical check-up. Please remember that dying is a severe violation of your contract (ý19.63B) and should you expire, you can expect being issued a fine as well as losing your insurance discounts and free-of-charge dishes in the canteen. Proceed to the research site now and acquaint yourself with layout schematics and experiment information.
Load up attached mod (gm_downhill.tbm), it's uploaded so you can get it via mods tabs as well. After you load the mod, you can pick up one of the challenges:
1) Finish the obstacle course by reaching the finish lever as fast as possible
2) Finish the obstacle course by reaching finish lever as gracefully as possible
YOU MUST FOLLOW THE DESIGNATED PATH. SEE BELOW:
Failing to follow the designated path invalidates your entry and terminates your employment.
Finish lever has a win trigger which will end the replay when you touch it.
As fast as possible means the replay that takes least frames to finish.
As gracefully as possible means staff will vote for best looking replay.
You can participate in both tasks but may get the prize only once!!!
Mod is gm_downhill.tbm, you can only modify turn and matchframes.
If you sequence-break by not following intended path, you are disqualified.
No hacking replays.
No stealing replays.
No moving Uke.
One entry per task per person (you can update your entries though). You must specify whether your entry is for speed or style or it will be ignored.
A pair for best replay in each category!
You have 15 days! That means the deadline is 23:59 (GMT +2) on 2nd September!
Good tutorial wizard, this will probably (and hopefully) motivate some toribashers to design their own events. I also find this quite helpful. But kida like what eki was saying, what about a little area about what makes it special? There are definitely things that make other events better than others... (Pictures vs. no pictures, font vs. no font, etc).
Other than that tiny tidbit, amazing tutorial, nothing else to say anything about!
