A week for each script would turn this challenge into a marathon. I don't have a problem writing scripts in 48 hours, it's the reading afterwards that is the biggest time commitment. Then there's the collection and collation of votes. |

Perhaps, just in case it wasn't clear, I should clarify. The length of the contest would remain unchanged. Week 1 would be writing a script. Week 2 would be writing week 2's script and reviewing week 1's scripts. 3, 4 and 5 follow the same pattern as week 2. As I had stated, it would be the equivalent of 5 concurrent OWCs, not 5 consecutive OWCs. Just making sure the information is clear. |

72 hours would be ideal, as it wold include both weekend and weekday.
Weekdays are MUCH easier for me to write on. |

Sean, I see that for many its easier to write on weekdays. Maybe you could ask that as well? |

72 hours is seeming like by far the best fit. I'm ok either way, but 72 lets those with busy weekends finish things on Mon. I have a 48 hr prose thing coming up, if it ran into the same weekend it would be nice to have Mon. |

72 hours would level the playing field a bit for all the different time zones too. |

I'd be for 72 hours as well. And with the inclusion of a weekday. Even two. |

Low page count. Low time frame. *check* |

The timezones are the problem.
72hours seems fine. |

I concur that 72 hours fixes most of the fairness issues while keeping the pace quick.
Still going to be tough for me in week 1, but still going to try. I missed the last couple OWCs and want to get back into building up a stable of short scripts. |

I think 72 hours would definitely be a good compromise, it sorts out the time zone issues but is still short enough to be a challenge. I think a week for 5 pages is too much. |

72 hours would mean I could join in I could get the idea in my head over the weekend and actually write it on the Monday |

So, am I to assume that people want 72 hours (Saturday, Sunday, Monday) to write? Any objections to that, at this point? |

Seems to be the consensus. |
