Maybe he doesn't expect more than 10 scripts, so he threw in the caveat of reading and critiquing up to 10...

Yeah me too... I think you can call it a draft, or a turd, either will do.
Actually ended up writing my first idea as well (the one before I understood it was all heard and no visuals), will post it after the OWC.

I initially read it as you had to read all or at least up to 10 scripts. Looking at it again, I'm not sure what he meant.

If only the script I have to submit was as good as the one I don't, this is going to be a bloodbath, the OWC comments section that is.
I'm thinking we all need to be pretty understanding with this batch of scripts.

That is correct. The moment I say, "Read
all scripts," there will be 100 entries. I wanted to make sure that all the scripts get read, but not impose an undue burden on the writers.

Just so I understand correctly, can there be a static background, i.e. we keep the same view through the entire thing? If so I can do that.

Just think Radio Play/audio only, Mark.
Dialogue heavy + sound effects.
All sound, no visuals.
What do mean by static view?
First I though you meant hearing static.
PK gave an example of the Apple TV audio series,
Calls . Check it out, below.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calls_ (TV_series)
Hope that helps.
Edit: Saw this days later. Don't know why it didn't link correctly. Anyway, everyone gets it now. Thanks, Don.

I meant that we establish a scene and then stay with that same view there for the rest of the script.
Also, it has to be over black? This really is a challenge...

Mark, do you mean view or view-point?
The view point could change if the call is transferred for example, or if call-waiting is picked up. Or even if the first caller hangs up, maybe?
As long as it's a conversation between two people only at any given time it's good. Least that was my interpretation.
Of course I could be wrong.
I'll let others weigh in if that doesn't answer your question sufficiently.
From Don:
A conversation between two (or more ) people - There can be multiple conversations, but each conversation has to be between two people at a time... P.S. You could use OVER BLACK, and then perhaps write a sound we hear.
Don's not worried about formatting for this. Do the best you can.
Here's one template I found. There are lots.
http://www.thewritersguide.co.uk/radio.html Actually that one's not perfect as this challenge is all about the Call.
Just wing it. No-one should pull you up on formatting for this. The dialogue is key imho.
