For Eg: If we provide Themes as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H then say your team member (1 writes for B in Round 1, he/she cannot write in Round 2. 2 – C, 3 – F, 4 – A, G – 8, D – 7, E – 6, H – 5) then new set of members have to participate in Round 2, say I…. Hope you are clear.
The schedule and theme will be out shortly (i.e., by third week of June). We have employed silent JUDGES who will moderate your blog posts and your interaction within other participating Team Members.
We also have FAIR PLAY AWARD – the team that encourages other fellow participants, their language and they way they deal with their readers counts.
AT THE END OF ROUND TWO, POINTS TABLE WILL BE UPDATED BASED ON CREATIVITY, ORIGINALITY, AND LANGUAGE (quality). THE FIRST FOUR TEAMS WILL MOVE TO NEXT ROUND.
