Quoted from MarkItZero
Wait, we have to give feedback on every script too? Can't we just pick a couple and do thorough notes on those?

In the later rounds, it'll end up being plenty of feedback.


This tournament relies on people reading the scripts and picking which of the two they think were better. Although, depending on the lengths of the scripts, I doubt the feedback will have to be extensive.

But wait, Sean, if I see two scripts, and know who the authors are - I'll know which belongs to who cause it's easy to tell if there's only two scripts. How's that anonymous?

How will you know who the authors are? Are you talking, in the case of your match-up?

If there's Script 1 and Script 2. And I know the authors are let's say Alex and Dave I'll be able to put the names to the scripts.

Or do I misunderstand the whole thing?

How will you know the writers if it is posted anonymously? Unless you mean at the very end of the bracket?

I might be misunderstanding the whole process. If I know two scripts and the writers for every two are announced - I'd be able to tell for the most part. I mean out of those whose work I read before.

But that doesn't matter actually. I don't have problems with anyone. And I'll be fair)

The ideal solution would be to refer to scripts by title only with no author information whatsoever. Readers just know it's "The Unpleasantness in Pleasantville" vs. "Boy Meets Girl Meets Zombie Meets Chainsaw".

If that's a logistical problem, go ahead and assign each author a random letter.


Feature-length scripts:
Who Wants to Be a Princess? (Family)
Glass House (Horror anthology)

TV pilots:
"Kord" (Fantasy)
"Mal Suerte" (Superhero)

Additional scripts are listed here.

Although anonymity shmamomymity.

Tentative
I'm in the process of revising older unfinished stuff of mine. But I might be able to squeeze something in. It all depends on what's in the wheelhouse.

I’m interested to know how the voting will work, as in, by signing up are you making some sort of commitment to read and vote on all the scripts till the end of the challenge? What happens if you get knocked out in round one?

I have no issues seeing it through even if I get knocked out early but I can definitely see people losing interest.
