So how are the competitions being scored, anyway? I have realized I should probably know that.

So, our current plan is this: once we’ve got all the submissions / entries in (and we know who’s getting sabotaged), we’ll organise the entrants by Category. We’ll then send those to you, and ask if Amelia would declare any of those the Winner of that Category.

(She won’t actually have to pick a winner out of the PC characters - especially if there’s only one entrant, or all of the entrants only manage ‘decent’ rather than ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ entries. There’s NPC entries as well, so one of them could win instead).

She’ll also need to rank the Champions, from 1-3.

But yeah, we’re not going to do anything like a scoring system, since that’ll be needlessly complicated. OOCly, you pick the Winner based off how how Amelia would judge (which should factor in how good the work is, how good any associated magical effects are, and the meaning/interpretation the student puts into the work. Sabotage can also negatively affect their chances). ICly, all three judges will get together and decide who wins amoungst themselves, but Amelia’s opinion carries the most weight.
