Zinc Saucier XXXVII: Blast From The Past

[mattie_p]

Good luck with the competition, AvatatVecna! I feel like we have a slight inflation of competitions, but hopefully everything'll balance out and we get enough judges and entrants for everything.

So all the competitions are: Iron Chef, IC E6, Junkyard Wars, Villainous Competition, Zinc Saucier, and possibly Monster Mash (if it continues). That's 6 that pull from the same limited pool of competitors and judges, each of whom has whatever time constraints. That's just the formal contests, doesn't include whatever spontaneous challenges arise such as the mundane melee monster build.

I might respectfully suggest that the chairs collaborate on timing, such that only one contest out of the group enters a new phase each week. For example, both ZS and JW have entry deadlines at about the same time, and presumably start judging about the same time. If they ended a week apart, both might have more entries because they aren't drawing from the same pool. And then each could have a week in the sun, as it were, all to themselves. This might draw out the length of time for each, but deadlines are pretty casual anyway, and by the nature of the forums tend to stretch anyway.

This is just a thought from a participant and past chair, nothing more.
