The May, 2021 Mini Tournament has officially come to a close.
I want to thank each and every one of you (whether you entered 1 round, 2, or all 3 rounds) for your participation. You guys and gal made this challenge the success it was. You all got into the spirit of reading and reviewing and gave up you time to offer solid, constructive feedback which was also positive and polite. So, a big thank you!
P.S. If you're not in the top lot, don't fret. There were lots of great scripts in this tournament that would make equally great short films.
Without further ado, here are the Final Standings based on an (avg of three) :

Congrats, Michael, Matthew & Paul. Quite the barrage of kick ass scripts, well done! And of course a big thanks to Don, Libby for keeping us in the writing zone during these curious times.
Yaaaayyyyyy, middle of the table just like I predicted. Happy with that . Well done Michael on overall victory. Throughly deserved. Congratulations to everyone else putting in the effort and coming up with the goods.
If at first you don't succeed........bribe someone.
Congrats to Michael, Matthew, and Paul - nicely done and well deserved.
Big thanks to LC and Don for putting it all together. Been a much needed motivation for me to get back into writing (and reading) shorts again after a bit of a creative dry spell.
Good to see such a strong turnout too. I know it's not easy to juggle daily life with writing/reading in such a contained timeframe. The quality of the scripts - particularly in the final round - was very strong. Fingers crossed for potential future productions and/or expansion into a longer format.
