[QUOTE="Berandor, post: 1733716, member: 225"] Yeah, I'd like to judge. I deliberately tried to comment on every story this time to show I've got the stamina :) even though I wouldn't be as soft when judging :o As for the tournament, I don't know if we really want to exclude people based on past showings and become elitist. (harshly formulated, I know, so here's a smile to take off the sting :)) ETA: D'oh, I just realized that by "open entry", you mean to have a round with the same pics, and the eight best advance, right? Color me stupid then, I misunderstood :confused: I like the idea of a three-pic first round, 4 in round two, 5 in round three, and 6 in the finals. I'd probably set up the competition with 4 reserved seats for newbies (max. 1 Ceramic DM entry) and 5 reserved seats for previous finalists (or at least semi-finalists if we can't get 5 finalists). In all, I'd make it 14 contestants, with a bracket like this: Match 1: Newbie1 vs. Newbie2 Match 2: Newbie3 vs. Newbie4 Match 3: Finalist1 vs. Random Match 4: Finalist2 vs. Random Match 5: Finalist3 vs. Random Match 6: Finalist4 vs. Random Match 7: Finalist5 vs. Random We'd have seven winners + 1 "Lucky Loser" (Jury decides on best losing story) for the next round, which would be randomized (?). This would be my idea of the next tournament. Now, just for discussion's sake: What do people think of "themed rounds", for example, having to write a pirate story or something like that. I think we had a "modern" contest once, but how was it received? ETA: I think we could make the write-in more flexible by one or more of the following ideas: 1. Post the sign-up time and date up to three days early and mention it in the header of the thread. 2. Have several sign-ups (3 people+ 2 noobs + 2 finalists at 2 pm, 2 people + 2 noobs + 3 finalists at 8 opm, for example). 3. Keep 2-4 seats open until after the first story is posted, so that people who notice the story can get in. x [/QUOTE]
