Agree. I thought they should have been posted earlier. I lost that argument because they were going to be posted before the vote. Totally lost here. Oh well - good luck Paul

Libby - this was the response when I asked about posting the parameters before the reads:
Quoted Text
No, the readers shouldn't know what the topic is before reading. If it wouldn't have been a nightmare beforehand, I would have stuck with this rule for the entire tournament. The idea is that I want people to read the script for content, first and foremost. Then, they can judge it on how it followed the rules. The most important thing should always be script quality.
So, I assumed "judge" meant vote - ergo peeps would know the parameters before voting. That is obviously not the case and, being in the thing, I'm not really in a position to post the criteria since I can only assume now that they wanted the readers to vote without knowing the parameters (I think). I certainly will post it once the voting closes if it isn't posted before hand.

Hmm, yep, that's what I thought too. Know the parameters before voting. And yes, we've been able to guess a lot but I would have liked to have seen them before casting my vote - which I'm yet to do. Not wanting to complain, just would have been interesting.
I'm gonna hold off for a bit. Thanks Dave.
P.S. I note Sean's comment on script quality being the most important criteria for voting. Okedoke.
