Jury and Finalist Rules:
1) Finalists now have 24 hours to write up their Opening Speeches and post them in their confessionals, at the end of this time we will post all Opening Speeches in this forum (in BOTH the Speeches and Finalist threads) for the Jury to see. The Speeches must be 2000 words or less total. Once the Opening Speeches are posted, Spectators will lose access to Juror Confessionals. Access to the Jury Subforum and Finalist Confessionals will remain.
2) Each Finalist will have their own thread. They will also be able to READ AND POST in the other Finalist's threads.
4) The Jury/Finalists will have 48 hours (2 days) to ask and answer questions. During this period, they will still be able to post and talk in the Jury subforum. At the end of the 48 hours, we will remove the Jurors' access to the Jury Subforum.
5) Jury members may only make up to 2 posts in each Finalists' thread during each DAY of questioning.
6) After 48 hours of questions, Finalists will have a further 24 hours to write up Closing Speeches (also a 2000 word limit) and respond to outstanding questions. The Closing Speeches will be posted in the opposite order from the opening speeches.
7) After Closing Speeches have been posted, Jurors will have a final 24 hours (or until 10 minutes before live reveal, whichever happens first) to cast their vote. Feel free to add any reasoning you wish, it will be revealed along with your vote.
8) We also ask that all Finalists cast a vote during this voting period, this will only be used in certain tie-breaker situations.
