Right, but you have to understand where the voters are coming from. We're probably never going to hear that song.
The way I look at these leagues is, we're writing for the voters. Otherwise we would just be posting in Open Mic. We're accepting challenges every week and putting our verses into contests in order to win battles. Yes, it's important for me to maintain pride and enjoyment in my writing. I wouldn't do it otherwise. But the goal of what I write for this league is to win my battles in this league. I'm doing that at a 50 percent clip right now, but I'm trying to improve.

See that's where we difer
Usually I try to win and write for the vote But I made a conscious decision to completely experiment in this one league. I enjoy the feed and the votes, I have zero hate towards them I come from the era where a "topical" was not a story. But I'm not here to champ the league, I'm here to master a new flow then come playoff time write for the vote. Not here to get wins until it counts. I honestly love writing, and thinking of different concepts although I've been lazy at all of the above as of late, I have instead tried very hard to master a specific rhyme scheme although haphazardly and lazily, but I will. Anyways, good talk bro. I'm not venting or anything, just conversing. I've enjoyed all votes, and one day will write good enough where a story doesn't matter. But I will write a story this week, this is my task I've given myself.

I don't think there's a playoff.

The weekly info mag thing states something along the lines of, "There are 8 weeks with a special ninth week for tie-breakers"
why would we need a tie breaker if there is no playoff??? there will be a playoff, this I'm sure of edit* Swag and Jay Cutler don't mesh well

In case people are tied with points.
There's no playoff.

Yes, PancakeBrah is correct Adonis. There was a break in communication when making the forum description. The 9nth week is only in case there is a tie of points at week 8 to decide the champion. Partly I hope it goes to a 9nth week tiebreaker because the task I have ready for that is just great.

I can see why Adonis is confused: The word "tournament" is used repeatedly in the description. When I hear "tournament," I think of an elimination event.

Yes I see the error in the connotation for the word Tournament, it is ambiguous sorry that is my mistake not understanding that nuance. It has been known since the beginning, every weekly memo first question of the FAQ is
How many weeks will the Tournament go for? There will be 8 weeks of standard competition, and a special 9nth week tiebreaker week only in the event of tied rankings. |

It's clearly called Writing Challenge League... I'm glad there's no playoff because I'm on vacation for most of September and will have to sign out... the question is... what happens when the 8 weeks are over... who is going to force me to write on a weekly basis!??!

I do think this board's discussion forum is funnier than any of the others I've been on, and the feedback in Open Mic is better than most.

So, basically, there's no champion matches or titles to win, no verses of the week or mag and unless you're in it from the start, it's pretty much a waste of time other than the pure writing of it. that's stingy and cheap so we're basically working for free. lmao
