Two entries to a thread would work better, but it would take a longer time to add the parameters while also checking the scripts meet them themselves. I do agree though that each of the two competing scripts should be paired in the same thread. Even that though would take extra time in sorting out.

Yup, can't always get what we want and it helps if we can all work together to make this a success. This is all for free and I know there will be a bunch of produced scripts from this exercise.

I suspect Crisis In The Red Room and Fake News are up against each other.

Short / Horror 'Monster in the Whitehouse'.

If anyone notices a pair they should perhaps note it.

Well done, Kham.

We'll have a list in no time if everyone is on the ball.

Quoted from DustinBowcot


I'm leaving that up to the tournament organisers. If the script is in, it meets the criteria.


Maybe I’m wrong but they said you only get disqualified if you don’t submit. So who knows if the parameters are met. I’m sure they didn’t read every single entry.

If you want me to read your script, send me a link.

Looks like Sean sets the parameters but Don is the one who checks uploads into the system.

I’d like to know the prompt, not to ding people on points, but to find out that “a cartoon bunny that speaks only in expletives” was a requirement rather than the writer’s choice.

It should be easy to guess the parameters once the pairings are up.  If a serial killer script ends up alongside a rom com chances are something's amiss.

That was the original plan, but this is the first time doing this, so we're trying stuff out.

Don't sweat it, Don. I'm already working on them. They should be up in the next half hour or so. Sorry about the delay, everyone.

If you could give us a list of pairing - that would be as good, Sean, I think. And Don could take his time.

just saying)

Says that the voting will start in 24 hours or so...Any sense are how long the voting will be opened? Trying to plan time and get a sense of when my last read opportunity will be.

Probably until late on Thursday. Give you guys as much time as possible to review, but still allow me time to make the brackets for the subsequent round.
