Note on times: All times are in US-EST, and the time applies for nearly everything here is 4am, EST. That's 3am CST, 2am MST, 1am PST, 8pm New Zealand, and 9am Britain. It's also 10pm on -the day prior- for Hawaii.
June 4 - June 9
Sixteen writers will write the entries for the first round. Topic will be given on June 4 at 4am EST (10PM Kiwitime) < PMs sent! and the deadline will close five days later, at 4am on June 9. Entries must be PM'd to Agro, -not posted-.
Notes on topics: Topics will be story introductions of 100 to 300 words, which cannot be altered and must be used as the beginning of an entry. These will be PM'd to the writers, not posted in a thread. Entries are to be no greater than 5,000 words (< yes? or should we change this rule?)
June 9 - June 12
From June 9 at (TIME), all of June 10 and June 11, and June 12 until 4am will be for reviewing. The reviewing period is three days, instead of the henceforth two, due to the amount of writers early on. To vote for stories, you will send a single (1) PM to Agro, containing all reviews and votes you are making for this round, any time you have finished reviewing (you don't have to review them all, if you don't want to) from June 9 at 4am to June 12 at 4am.
Note on reviews and votes: You must review a story to vote for it. You cannot vote for your own match. Votes are to be made in a 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down' manner. In other words: one person wins the match, the other loses -- that simple. Try to make the PM as readable and clear as possible, as Agro is going to have a lot on his hands with organizing this.
June 12
At 4am on June 12, voting will close. Sometime later that day the reviews will all be posted by Agro in their corresponding threads, along with a simple "[entry 1, or entry 2] wins". In the event of a tie, Agro will make a conclusive vote.
June 13 - June 18
Round two begins when topics are PM'd to all remaining writers at 4am on June 13. Writing will proceed through five days until June 18 at 4am. All entries must be PM'd to Agro, -not posted-.
June 18 - June 20
From 4am on June 18, all of June 19, and until 4am on June 20, reviews will be made. The same procedure follows: gather all reviews and votes, PM them to Agro.
June 20
At 4am on June 20, Agro will collect all votes and reviews. He will soon post in the threads the corresponding reviews, along with a simple: "[entry 1, or entry 2] wins".
June 21 - June 26
Round three begins on June 21 at 4am when Agro will send PM's containing topics to all remaining writers. Writing will go on through to June 26 at 4am. All entries, again, are to be PM'd to Agro.
June 26 - June 28
Reviewing for round three begins on June 26 at 4am and ends on June 28 at 4am. All reviews, again, are to be PM'd to Agro in a single PM, along with simple 'win and loss' votes.
June 28
After 4am on June 28, Agro will collect all reviews and will soon post them in their corresponding threads, along with a simple: "[entry one, or entry two wins]".
June 29 - July 4

July 4 - July 6
Reviews for the last round will take place from July 4 at 4am to July 6 at 4am. All reviews are to be PM'd to Agro with the same voting format.
July 6
After July 6 at 4am, Agro will gather the reviews and post them in the thread, along with the announcement of the winner of the tournament by name. From then on, you may (entirely optionally) go back to any entries you made and label them as your own.
