Quoted from khamanna I thought that Customer Support was either Mark Renshaw or John Staats.

Nope.  I think Dave wrote Customer Support  and Zack for Mayhem

Thanks, PK.

Carry on...

The vote tallies are going to take a bit longer. Don's been pulled away from it, as soon as he can he'll get the tally to me.

I'll be shooting the rest of today, so expect the results tomorrow morning, assuming I have them by then. Apologies for the delay.

Frickin' Graveyard!

Very poor turnout in terms of feedback...yet again, and the complete lack once voting was complete is sad..  This may be the worst yet.

Sorry to Stevie for his Niners getting their arses handed to them in the 4th quarter.  There's always next year, but next year is my rams year to be back on top.

I hope so. But it's going to be a tough  division!

Still stunned that we blew that   Just bewildering

The low read/comment turnout is disappointing. It took me quite a bit of my free time to read all of the scripts and write comments for them. Actually, it even put me a little behind on my work, meaning I lose even more free time that will now be spent catching up. Not entirely the fault of the OWC though. I had a flu virus that put me down for several days.

I don't actually really care about the comments... only insomuch as they prove the script has been read, which means it will also be voted on fairly. A part of the problem may be the short amount of time we get to read. If the average person can read three scripts per day, then 33 scripts would take 11 days to read. I did feel a little bit of pressure to finish. For some, the idea of reading 33 scripts in 7 days could be so off-putting that they don't read any at all.

The only reason I was able to read all entries is that I can read them at work (Time I should have actually been working and studying) - If I wasn't able to do that, no way I could have read them all.

For such a short time to read/review, I would personally like a smaller page count limit - 5 pages seem manageable like we had in the writer's tournament.

Putting in any kind of measure or incentive to encourage entrants to participate more would seem to only increase the level of admin required - although I'm sure there would be some who wouldn't mind helping in some kind of volunteer role

You wish, Dude! Joe Burrow is gonna take my Bengals to the top.

I have off Tues and Wednesday and will finish reading and comment. Why not come up with an acceptable percentage a person needs to comment on in order for their entry to qualify to be voted on? Not too hard to figure out by just checking past posts. Release the results but put DQ next to the entries where writer didn't comment. Just a thought. And maybe put that writer on probation and ineligible for next OWC...so they can't just think they can enter to get comments.

And I don't mean Don doing any more work, but the person running that particular OWC would have to count the comments.

Yep - brain fart. Run on first, run on second, run on third with ten point lead

Makes sense to me.

It's just getting to be so normal that no one cares about reading and providing feedback.  Everyone is too busy, too new, too whatever.

Without peeps' time, SS wouldn't be what it is, and so many writers here wouldn't be anywhere near the writers they are now.

Gotta give a little!!!

The results have been posted!

I agree that there should be more time given to read. Maybe if it goes over 20 or 25 we add on a week? Just a suggestion for the future.

The low comment counts are disappointing too, but that's an ongoing debate.

This is a great idea.

The non calls by the refs were actually the main problem   I didn’t realise just how bad they were until later    The play calling just added to it    Still furious about this
