Due to some last minute events coming on, judging will begin on Conference I on Friday afternoon.
I expect it to commence by Sunday evening, and then threads for choosing the match-ups of the next round will begin the day after, with match-ups beginning on Friday the 2nd.

Just out of curiosity...
how are matches such as mine handled in a tournament?
Most likely you will win by default but not get a judging or EXP/GP.
"The problem with escapism is that when you read or write a book, society is in the chair with you. You can't escape your history or your culture. So the idea that because fantasy books aren't about the real world, they therefore 'escape,' is ridiculous. Even the most surreal and bizarre fantasy can't help but reverberate around the reader's awareness of their own reality." -- China Miéville

If someone doesn't reply to your post, it's almost assuredly going to be your win. Usually, the last person who posts in a timely manner will win a battle that's under 5 posts (you wouldn't win if you waited to first reply until the last day, obviously) - battles between 5 and 9 posts won't get as many comments and half EXP/GP, while battles with 10+ will get full treatment.

Would it change anything if a battle did not have 10 posts+, but did have over 10 000 words?

Sounds fair, Santhy. I was wondering about that in my Izvilvin-Hushypoo battle.
Cold, jade eyes that liquify
eyes that are merciless,
staring in mute mockery
and in mockery of the muteness
See, in battles, the number of posts relates to the amount of inter-character action and responses. Too few entail a lack thereof.

No - unless it was clearly finished (as opposed to a quest, for example, that's less then 10 posts but more then 10,000 words and is closed).Originally Posted by Ataraxis

A double-post, but an update - looks like the judgings will be finalized late Monday evening...so just push all the dates in the first post forward a day.
