I missed the thread this week and just got Don's email. Put me down for a"Hell yeah!" I'm in. My biggest issue is that I'm traveling and only have my phone until Saturday night! I guess I know what I'm doing Sunday morning.
Sign me up. Can we tweak old scripts or does it have to be fresh and new??
New scripts. Defeats the purpose of the challenge, being that you need to write a new script in 48hrs for each round.
But no one is going to know if you manage to cram the parameters of the challenge into an already finished script. It's not advised though and wouldn’t be in the spirit of the challenge.
So how long will we have to read the first round of ALL the scripts? It will get easier as times goes... because there will be less if I am reading everything correctly.
Heck, if you have room, put me down as 'in'. Even though I'll probably be 'out' after the first run!
Hey, Sent a p.m. to Mr. Blonde earlier today about joining this tournament but saw that he was dealing with internet/snow storm related issues. It's probably just my awful o/c/d kicking in right now but I want to make sure I have a backup plan to get in this thing 'cause it sounds like a damn good time. Looking forward to a fun competition, Nate

Not quite tracking down orphans. I do have my phone to keep track of everyone who wanted to enter so I've been keeping up to date on current events. Everyone who posted in here or messaged me is going to be added to the list.
Some questions that popped up that I can answer:
Nobody's going to force you to read and review all the scripts, especially once you get eliminated. However, I would ask that you do your best and if you read a script in a match-up, read both so you can vote on that match.
No, I'm not using a random logline generator. Rather, I'm inclined to make you guys suffer. You will be dealt a character (you can add others, as well, but you must use the one you're given), a location, a genre, a theme and a wildcard (which is any available item. For example: if you're dealt comedy as a genre and the wildcard ends up being sci-fi, you now have to write a sci-fi comedy) and you'll have to abide by those rules.
