[QUOTE="Zhaneel, post: 1734193, member: 15829"] My thoughts: Is there a rule that says we have to have the same 3 judges for all stories in the competition? I think what would be best would be to do the 3-day sign-up period. Then figure out the number of matches. If it is 8 or less, I think we've got the pattern down now. If it is more than 8, split the group in half and have two rounds going at the same time with two sets of judges at first. Recombine the groups at some point. Heck, mix up the contestants who advance within the groups for all I care. As such Round 1A: Joe v Larry, Karen v Marissa, Eric v Ben, Harry v Sally, Mike v. Ralph, Bert v. Ernie Judges for Round 1A: Russia, US, Korea Round 1B: Michelle v Crystal, Moe v Curly, Rei v. Serena, Han v. Chewie, Luke v Leia, Zerkold v. Garion Judges for Round 1B: Canada, China, Mexico Round 2A: Joe v Crystal, Moe v. Marissa, Ben v. Serena Judges for Round 2A: Russia, China, Mexico Round 2B: Sally v. Chewie, Luke v. Ralph, Ernie v. Garion Judges for Round 2B: Canada, US, Korea Round 3: Crystal v Moe, Ben v. Sally, Luke v. Garion Judges for Round 3: China, Mexico, Korea Round 4: 3-way competition between Moe, Sally & Garion. Winner is Final. Judges for Round 4: US, Russia, Canada Or whatever. This way it takes some of the pressure off the judges to be dealing with so many stories. It also allows for faster response time on the contestants as there can be multiple competitions going. And more stories for readers. Yay!!!! The problems I foresee is the following: The idea of different judges meaning that the whole competition will not on the same level of fairness - I disagree with this. I think more judges would make it more fair as writers will have to appeal to more than just 3 people. You can write to the judges if you know them and I feel that is not necessarily a good thing. Confusion as to who is doing what with which pictures. - Valid complaint Determination of the "final" judges - As in when do the separate pools stop and who judges the last story? There are a number of variations on when/how to recombine. I personally like the idea of 3 pictures 3500 words. Those extra 500 go a long way to creating good stories while still keeping it short. Then add 1000 words per picture. I would be willing to judge, but I will probably not write again [fear of losing rights to stories] and I won't organize. Zhaneel [/QUOTE]
