They are PolyClay (39mm) from SunFly.
The H.O.R.S.E. plaques and dealer button have also been made by SunFly (PolyChrom).

And here's the Design Thread :

Yeah, i'll enter. Don't know about categori though, i'll leave that to the organizer, but either ceramic hybrid or other since the MSK stuff is a big part of the set.

Looks like a ceramic/hybrid set to me, with high denom plaques. I don't think anyone with a CDI set that had plaques would claim its not a Paulson set. This would qualify for the ceramic/hybrid category.

I changed my mind. Only because the high-denom MSK plaques are integral to this tournament set, I think this has to go into the Open Class. It wouldn't be fair for the other ceramic/hybrids to compete without having MSK plaques in their set.
 
I gladly nominate my Horseshoe Pesta 1895 set.
This is a relabelled set, so it definitely should go to that category (if you ask me, relabels shoudn't run at all for the main category, NOT being fully custom, but it seems the rules are different).

Edit: Labels re-designed, printed and applied (label-over) by @Gear
Original chips:
ND frac = AS snapper
$1 = ES $1
$5 = Casablanca $100
$20 = ES T25 secondary
$100= PCA $100 secondary

:)
 
Non-trolling question:
So in order to qualify for any specific category, such as Hotstamp, does the entire lineup have to qualify? As opposed to just one aspect?
Example: one Hotstamp chip in a lineup of inlaid chips only qualifies for the Open category?

Citing: ceramic with MSK plaques.

I think that's a ceramic hybrid set, but having those MSK plaques gives that set an unfair advantage against other c/h sets. So I put it inot the Open Class.

I'm not trying to create any hard and fast rules... just trying to be fair to all sets.

I see your point and agree with your above ruling.

I know this is all for fun, but am wondering about how some things get ruled.

Well I'm wondering about this inevitable situation: a cash set with hotstamp fracs and inlaid $1+ vs a fully hotstamp tournament set.

Also another question I had: if a set has one actual casino chip in the lineup, does it get disqualified as a relabel? I think no, but I can see the argument either way.
Citing: @WhiteMamba1646 's Flamingo solids set.
 
I sort of agree, as the plaques are a fundamental part of the set, that's why i let somebody else decide. I hope there are a few more entrants in the open category before this is over though. :)

One way would be to randomize the whole bracket, then repeat the following two steps until done:

1) Find a person with more sets on a side than there should be (e.g. a person with two sets total having two sets on one half, or 3-4 sets total having 3 on one side, etc)
2) Randomized a set on the other side of the bracket that you can swap with. If the selected person would end up with too many sets on that side if swapped, then he/she is not eligible to swap and you need to pick another.

If someone has 3 or more sets, the two on the same side should not be on the same quarter, and the steps above can be repeated but restricted to that side of the bracket. 5 or more sets and two should not be on the same eighth, etc...

There might be a smarter way, but this greedy algorithm should solve it without too much extra work. Especially since it's you who is doing the work ;)

If I enter a set I’d like to be able to influence which competitors are in my bracket as well please.

So again, case-by-case basis. If an inlaid set has a hotstamp frac, its probably still an inlaid set. If a relabel set uses a live chip without re-labeling, its probably still a relabel. Unless something about the different chip gives that set an unfair advantage in a class.

And FWIW, if @HMK or anyone else disagrees with these decisions on-the-fly, post 'em up... I'll listen, and if you make a compelling point, I'll move them. Its supposed to be fun, but I don't want to hamper anyone because of my arbitrary decisions...
 
I can’t handle stuff like this, because I have stupid strong, unchangeable opinions about chips. For example, I don’t believe relabels should be allowed to exist, let alone be celebrated.
Good luck, all.

I’ll enter my “Parris Luxury Resort & Casino” set. There’s no interesting story behind this other than a crappy pun on my surname. Anyway here’s some pics...

I searched for a pron thread for these chips but didn't find one... Did you put up a post when you received these? If so, link?

One way could be to allow the 4 hybrid denoms in the ceramic hybrid class, and the whole set with plaques and all in the open class. And in case nobody has nominated it, I'd like to nominate @HMK tournament set to whichever class it may be entered. :-)

Doesn't seem fair to put the same set in two classes. Plus, this:

In addition to the BOCY bracket, each chipset has the option of entering one additional "class" bracket.

Sorry, I mixed up the open class with the BOCY bracket. Yes, I completely agree, just one class per set!
 
If it's BOCCY (crucial word: Custom), I don't think relabels should run in the main category ('cause the thread is titled "2020 CUSTOM set of the year").
If it's just BOCY, relabels can run in the main category too.
