16 lines is way too limiting.

It's cool for a weekly challenge here or there, or for a tournament format, but for a league I think it is the wrong decision. Just let people write, let the piece conclude at a natural stopping point, doing this, imo, makes for better pieces all round.

Brevity, the soul of wit, The Art of saying less with more. No room for error. Compact. No allowance for any misplaced word or
