Default Writing challenge tournament proposal and discussion.

Proposal for new tournament: following on from the AOWL with some differences.
A 8 wk competition – winner is the highest score after 8 wks if equal first place records it will enter a special tiebreaker contest. Subject matter is similar to so called ‘topicals’ but the weekly stimulus will be in the form of variety challenges. Each wk will have special general conditions, each writing contest must fulfill these general conditions/theme, and they will be released in a ‘Weekly Memo’ format/weekly predictions webpage area of the site. Contests will be divided into regular 1v1 contests, with each contest receiving its own specific writing challenge conditions for the week tied in with the general weekly theme. There will be a mix between each contest stimulus and they will be different for each contest. The writing conditions will be specific and designed to be challenging without hopefully being restrictive or one-dimensional. If there is interest I would enjoy to organize this tournament, although not participate and also make the short ‘magazines’ for each wk. Demographics interested for this tournament I think will be those who competed during AOWL tournament, but I also have idea for some weeks to have a general theme of 'battle rap' or similar etc. This Challenge tournament will be most similar in style to AOWL/NWL though, also due to lack of enthusiasm after the recent tournaments ending, the time-frame for starting this I plan to be sometime later, perhaps 1 month or 2 months, this is just an initial proposal, if you are interested or seek some clarification or want to make a discussion please make the comment.
