The first part of the round will be the "Challenge" portion, and the second part of the round will be the "Voting" portion. Each one of these will be defined below.

The "Challenge" portion of each round will include a writing challenge. The challenges will come from "Challenge Yourself"   by Sara♥Jean , and the item produced must be newly written for the competition. Every competitor must participate in this portion of the competition to continue on to the voting. The judge will be me, Sara♥Jean , or it may be a guest judge. The winner (each round, there will be only one winner) will win an Immunity Idol, which means that they cannot be voted off that week. An Immunity Idol is very valuable, and will be offered every round EXCEPT the very last one - the Championship Round.

The selected challenge for the week will be posted on Friday, and due by the end of Tuesday, WdC time.

The "voting" portion of each round will require the voters to read the entries. The entries will be ANONYMOUS - the contestants should not, under any circumstances, state which one is theirs. They should, however, encourage as many people as possible to come and vote for who they believe should go. When there are multiple entries, we will make the submissions short so the voters do not have to spend multiple hours reading in order to participate.

The vote will begin on Friday, and finish by the end of Tuesday, WdC time. (If you wonder about the lag time between the days of the week, those will give me the chance to read every entry carefully, and decide on an Immunity Idol winner, and prepare/create the voting pages.)

Each round will have a certain number of members voted off, except the first practice round. If we begin with the maximum of 32 competitors, the contestants will be reduced by one half each round - so sixteen would be voted off the first. Each round would continue to cut the contestants in half until there are only two left to compete in the final challenge round. If a competitor does not participate in the challenge for that round, they will automatically be voted off.

Yes, this does mean that it will be a long competition - and the time commitment should considered when entering. Do you think you're up for the challenge?

These numbers will be adjusted depending on the total number of participants. While there can be no more than 32, I do realize that because of the time required, it may actually end up being less. I do have high hopes, however!

For the Practice Round, the only thing a contestant needs to do to earn 1,000 GPs is to correctly follow the prompt and challenge. If the prize funds do not cover the 64,000 possible GPs needed, I will cover this on my own. If a contestant enters nothing at all for this round - they will be eliminated, and if there are others who wish to participate, spots will re-open so we can have 32 contestants for the first round.
