The Ultimate Renovation

The Ultimate Renovation is a game created and held by MinecraftYoshi26 where contestants must renovate a visually pleasing and/or unfinished build, while incorporating random blocks chosen by a generator. It was created on June 28, 2015. Sometimes, a special guest judge critiques the build. The highest score wins the prize at the end of the game.

Format

Contestants are only allowed to build inside the designated area and may dig below, but not over five blocks, keep the general shape of the original structure, and use all the blocks that you are required.

The winner is determined by the judges scoring using this current system:

Category	Points available
Exterior
House Exterior	25
Landscaping	15
Interior
Furnishing	20
Layout	20
Other
Use of provided blocks	10
Rules (keeping shape, using all provided blocks)	10
Total Possible Points	100

If it comes out to a tie, the judge will award one bonus point to the overall better house between the tied houses.
