However, having judged through it, I am quite taken by the format.Let's say for example all our writers put their hand up, that gives us 12 writers with six first round match-ups, meaning six writers progressing through to the second round. We could have a situation where the the top two losers round out a top 8 and then progressing through from there naturally. In short, I would prefer this to triple match-ups (which are real tough on the competitors and even tougher on the judges).However, perhaps we're best sticking to the usual format. Start with the 8 writers and away we go. Thoughts?***Fellow judges, I have a few thoughts regarding picture selections. However, this is certainly not conversation that should be bandied about like naked bottoms out of an office window. What protocol would you all wish to follow in this regard?Best RegardsHerremann the WisePS: Competitors, as I have been spurned by Lady Death, you can bet that I'll be in a foul mood when I judge. Only your best efforts will suffice, otherwise expect a malleting from the foxy one... and maybe some harsh words from me. As for Rodrigo, he's the overly friendly guy so expect to be struck at worst by several marshmallows.PSS: Berandor, good to have you in the wings.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
