[QUOTE="Burnside, post: 8311288, member: 6910340"] The 3-day limit, as opposed to giving a week or more, was no doubt a deliberate attempt to limit the sheer number of entries. Having the entries due on Father's Day may have been deliberate for that reason as well. The obligation to follow the Xanathar's format for me made it more challenging to stay under the word count - because that format requires some redundant copy. But the time limit, the word count, the lore thing, and the Xanathar's format (which is not one I've ever seen use in any WotC adventure - or indeed any adventure, ever) all form a "can you follow the directions" element of the test. Given the number of entries they'll get, it's necessary to blanket disqualify entries for not adhering to that stuff. I submitted mine on Friday because I was leery of the implied "if we get too many entries we'll stop reading them" bit in the rules. [/QUOTE]
