If Kwan will handle organizing it, I'll write.
If Kwan would rather not/would be willing to write, I'll organize it.
I'd like for Zovo to write.

Okay, Zovo's now properly on the list. Kaez is provisionally up there. Someone grabs Kwan's attention.
And when shall we start, team?

Yes, I'll have the time for it. Right. So Kaez is writing. And for a quick summary for you as the new organiser, you'll have to: - Do the draw/pull names out of a hat/whatever. - Collect beginnings and pick the best ones to use. - PM each writer their beginning. - At the deadline, you then post the beginning and the entries together. - Then you collect the reviews and the votes. - Then you post the reviews. But not the votes. You don't say who wins, you just PM them the new beginning for the next round. OKAY HAVE FUN!? |

At a minimum we should go for 12. That will allow us four games of 1 v 1 v 1 and reduce the chance of a defaulting match.
If we can get to 16 and beyond even better.

The nine that we have now would be a bit problematic. By the way, are there any objections to using a bracket with random seeding, or does everybody want every match to have random draws? |

If we get 16 who's going to vote? We're starting to bounce back but our regular membership is still down. Are we going to have enough people who aren't competing, but who are still committed enough to read, vote for, and feed back on, all the entries?

Are we going to have enough people who aren't competing, but who are still committed enough to read, vote for, and feed back on, all the entries? No, no. Writers can vote and review. They just can't vote in their own match. So if you're writing in Match A, you can review all the matches and vote in Match B, C and D. That's how we did it last year anyway. |

I mean, technically, you should be the only one who'll actually know. The writers won't know who's who or even who is winning and who's gone out. I just did a random draw for every round just to make sure there was no pattern at all. |
