Speaking of that, I need to work up the actual threads that will be put into the forum, since all of that will be happening within the next ten(ish) days. If I can get the first round underway just prior to the start of February, I think the timing on it will be great. We can fit it in just between the start of most peoples' semesters and the time midterms come around, which means we shouldn't lose anyone to excessive schoolwork -- that's always been a bit of a problem with the non-summer tournaments.

I'm trying to decide if I should break up the information a little bit more this year, as Andromeda did with the Tournament of Heroes forum (which I also think some of you would be interested in). At the absolute least, there would be a character app thread, the optional RP environment thread, and then the information thread. The question is whether I should break down the information into different sections, or try to streamline it into a single thread as I've done in the past.

What do you think? I could use a second opinion on that.
