Journal Tournament V

Many people have asked for a description of coming events.  That would probably be a good idea...I take it for granted that people know what I'm talking about.  Here's a bit of history.

The Journal Tournament was an idea that was inspired by an online version of the Triwizard Tournament from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by dissendium.com back in November of 2005.  Since then, we have had four Tournaments, and one "tester" to try out some new ideas.  In The Journal Tournament, people from J-Land participate in a three task tournament.  For each task, participants are asked what has traditionally become ten questions for five points each.  They submit their answers by a certain date and time.  Rankings are posted after each task, so you can see how you stack up to everyone else.  Questions are a wide variety of random topics, usually whatever happens to be popping up in my life at that given time.  Every tournament, the race is always a close race to the finish, and for the last tournament, we had to have a bonus round for three people to determine a winner.  There are a list of winners from past tournaments in the sidebar. 

If you have any more questions, I'd be happy to answer them.  Just leave me a comment. 

A link will be provided September 3rd to a registration form that you will be asked to fill out if you wish to participate.  I usually ask for your first name, your screen name, your journal address, an E-Mail address, and some goofy question so I can get to know you a bit.  After all, that is part of what the Tournament is about.  Links will be provided for all participants to their journals in the "Other Journals" section, and you are encouraged to go explore the journals of your fellow participants. 

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR REGISTRATION SOMETIME AFTER SEPTEMBER 3rd!

  Okay, just one question -- I see that the registration period is from now until September 16th.  When do you anticipate the dates of the actual tournament to be?  If I know I'll be out of town, obviously I'll just sit back and watch retroactively and not participate, for example.  Thanks:)  Sounds fun.
