The Great Soccer Forum Write Off (2009 1/4)

Dub13 · 2009-03-18 19:46:05

Ok folks the last one was a great success and we encouraged more 'substantial content' which is always good.We decided the last time to have one every 1/4 in 2009 with the 4 winners doing a article at the end of the year in a grand final,their should be a great standard in that going by the last one. How it works. Users…

How it works.
Users volunteer to wright a article on any soccer subject (750 words max),they then PM the articles to me and I put up a anonymously for the whole forum to vote on,the identities are only reviled once the vote is over.

I am not sure if we will go with groups or not this time it will depend on how many entry's we have but I think a open vote with no groups would be the best bet,thats if we don't have mad numbers entering.

Here is a link to the final thread last year,you should have a ready of them all if you have not they were all super.The Great Soccer Forum Write Off (The Final

Rules
No rules as such you just have to do a article with 750 words max and PM it to me,but you will need to be aware if you win you will be required to do another one sometime in December.

I got a few complaint's the last time about not giving enough time for people to wright so I am going to leave this open ontill March 31st.

Good luck all,post here if you are going to take part so I can get an idea of the numbers.

Well I, for one, have to drop out.

Been busy in work, I didn't even get a chance to do a write up for the Shels fanzine this month

I'll try to throw something together though.

What time is the deadline?

I'm actually working on a piece now, work doesn't seem too busy today after all.

Should have it done by the time I leave, but if we get an extension, then I wouldn't mind either.

Can't believe I missed this again!!! Dub13, the last time this was on I sent you one but it was too late. If you still have it, could I submit that one if it's not too late? I can't seem to find my copy as I emptied my mailbox...

Edit. Dub13, Ignore that, found it and have pm'd it to you.
