April Madness 2018

I am interested in being a competitor.

Pairings are now up and I've re-vamped the style of the tournament to cover 24 people so everyone who has signed up so far this year is in and there is one open space. I'm going to use a spreadsheet this year to make the tracking a little easier:

Anyone joining after that will be put down as a replacement poet in case there are people who don't submit their first poems.

I'll send my next reminder when submissions for round one open so prepare yourselves for the craziest tournament of 2018!!

@Rydia @TheSilverFox @Wisteria @Lareine @Kays @Lumi @LadyLizz @Meshugenah @alliyah @soundofmind @TheBlueCat @ellasnotebook @PrincessInk @Aley @Lightsong @killeham @Nobunaga @Arcticus @Audy @Willard @Mea @PenguinAttack @Thisislegacy

So for the first round, there would be two winners out of four?

That's correct! Both the highest scoring poets will advance and will face the two highest scoring poets from the next group down so group one vs group two and group three vs group four etc. This means everyone will get at least two chances to stay in the competition.

This is beautiful

Uhh I guess I missed that this was up already. I'm guessing there's no spots left although the first post says there is... Sign me up for whatever you can :]

Totally late, but yosh! I also meant to sign up too :3 Whoops. Thanks all!

I think @Rydia mentioned there was 1 open space, no? So @Fortis, unless I'm mistaken, you're just in time!

@Audy, you're totes listed in there

And you pitted me against @PenguinAttack in the first round?! RUDE.

*looks at my competitors*

I can taste defeat I WILL TRY MY B-BEST

There is a very @fortis shaped space left so that's us all filled up now! But feel free to sign up for the replacement poets list as we often get one or two no-shows in the first round.

And @Audy I just tend to presume you want in so you're definitely in there :p

Sorry @Meshugenah that's just the way the random generator likes to throw them dice! (But better you than me...)

@soundofmind I'm routing for you!

*looks to find @Aley in round 1*

*takes a swig of SunnyD*

So this is how it all ends...

@soundofmind SAME and you're one of the reasons I'm already tasting defeat.

I could be a contestant. My work "Problems" was pretty successful.

@HalfbloodFangirl I've added you as a replacement poet as we're out of spaces right now, but there are sometimes people who don't manage to post in the first round. So please still aim to post a poem and then if we have anybody who isn't able to, you'll take their place in the competition.

Submissions are open in just 30 minutes for round one! They will remain open until 10:00pm GMT on the 3rd April so plenty of time to get those submissions in but don't leave it until the last minute!

Kinda last minute, but I'm up for being a judge!
