Huge Thank You! to Sean for running this.  This was not easy.  All the good stuff happened because of Sean.  

Another Huge Thank You! to everyone who participated and were patient with the numerous technical issues and delays. More on that later.

A lot of good scripts came out of this.  I encourage everyone who participated to revise his/her work and get them resubmitted.  

I encourage anyone who has read a script that must get made take a crack at writing a review to feature on the blog.

- Don

Many thanks to Don and Sean on a great tourney! Had a blast. Learned a bunch. Pushed myself to try new stuff. Positives all around.

About David... what a guy. I couldn't be more impressed with how he handled himself during the championship writing week. He was supportive and kind... even shared his outline for competitive reasons BEFORE the writing was done. On top of that, he offered (and followed-up) to help make my script the best it could be. Unbelievable.

For all the other writers, thank you for your support and comments. You made this new guy feel like one of the group. I appreciate that very much.

Sorry to Warren and TheUsualSuspects. I didn't quite have enough to slay the elDave beast. He's a force. I'll have to grow stronger, in case I ever face him again!

Best,
Paul
Goodest Runner Up

Congratulations to David!  And well done Paul!

It's been a few years since I've taken part, and I enjoyed every moment.

Just hearing what you had to say about David, top man, mightily impressive to hear.  Definitely a pillar of the simplyscripts community.

Thank you Don & Sean too, great job.

Thanks first to Sean and Don for all their hard work running this challenge. Super efforts.

Thanks to all who took the time to read and comment on all the scripts through all the rounds. You guys are real troopers.

Paul wrote a great script – this was a real nail-biter till the end and it could have easily gone the other way -so, many kudos to him.  Paul - look forward to your future work. There is a whole bunch of talent there! And...

Quoted Text Best, Paul Goodest Runner Up

Gave me a great laugh for the morning.

Congrats to both for getting tot he final and to Dave for taking it down! Some great writing on display in this challenge!

Congratulations, Dave,

What a great success to take this deadly tournament home.

Also congrats to Cardinal. Two worthy finalists.

Congrats Dave. Throughout the competition it always ended up your scripts were among my most favorite. No offense to myself or anybody else in the brackets, but I don't think this competition was even close. Your work was top notch throughout. Nice accomplishment.

And big thanks to Sean, Don and everybody else who participated by writing or voting to make this happen. This was a great experience with some really strict script restrictions to work with. Like a screenwriting reality show. Next year I'll be looking for it again.

Thanks mate

It's over! I'm going to miss it. It was a lot of fun - wow, wow, wow, Sean!!! What big crazy ideas you have. Many great scripts came out of it.

And big thanks to Don for doing so much work for the five rounds!

Dave, yey, congrats! I'd bet on you to win this thing from the very first round though.

Paul, congrats to you for finishing the finals with the score, that's very close to Dave's - your work is very impressive. Quite a few of your scripts struck me as exceptional.

Congratulations to Dave and a hardy slap on the back to Paul! Two very solid pieces of work for the final judgement. Voting was close, too.

Sean - Had a blast participating and being judge/jury. Thankfully it wasn't a tie and you didn't have to be the executioner!
