      Once every 3 months sounds good.

      I definitely agree that lack of participation from some people was the biggest flaw of this competition. But I've learned from the Buddy Program that despite those participation surveys and multiple PMs as reminders, there's really no way to stop people from disappearing on you. Kind of the nature of any forum, really - some people can be super active one day and disappear completely the next.

      I know that in some of the older comps, Sensei made the final team score an average of the individual scores of the people that participated. But then what about the people who only submitted one or two days - their lower scores would still hurt the rest of their team. We could do an "average score per night reported", but then that would discourage people with low-scoring nights from submitting, because they wouldn't want to hurt their team's average. Do you kinda see my predicament? About half-way through this competition, I really did think about changing the final score to a team average, because it felt unfair to Pickman and LiLeila that they were losing to teams of 5. But then I thought changing it would be unfair to everyone, since it was understood from the beginning that it would be a total sum score instead of an average score.

      I really don't know how Sensei did it, but he was able to get almost 100% participation in the last comp. It's hard when people don't sign in, so they don't see the multiple PMs I sent reminding them, etc. At least for Sensei's, it was always only like one person per league that went AWOL, so it didn't throw off the balance too much. I think we just happened to get unlucky in that all of them happened to be on the same team. When I made the teams, I basically put each league in order, from most frequent lucidity to least, and broke any ties in the order by random numbers. Then I assigned their teams like a snake draft (#1,2,3 on team 1,2,3; #4,5,6 on team 3,2,1; etc.). If it wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings, in the future I'd add a 3rd step and kind of manually balance the teams based on how committed I think they are - nothing too deep, just enough that it's at least somewhat even and they're not all on Team Snap the same team.

      Thanks for the competition spellbee2 and everyone that took part. It was a blast, despite not really knowing the scoring and stuff to start. Also my lucid rate went up cause I was so motivated and almost daily wbtbs... and typically it has now dropped back down. So pls host a new comp. Asap... or like in a couple of months would be good.

      Thank you @spellbee for organizing the competition in such a professional manner (that spreadsheet rocks!)!
      @all thanks for sharing your dreams! It was intrigueing to follow us as a group through two weeks of competitive dreaming.
      The second week was hard for me as it was very stressful in waking life, and also a quite interesting opportunity to at least try to put a focus on dreaming, though.

      If you repeat the challange, please count me in

      Woho, I'm in the final score xd Haha, team Snap was really tiny!

      Thanks! It was a great competition. Very motivating. Everything was perfect, I can't find any disadvantage! :P Every 3 months sounds good but maybe every 6 months is beter for this specialty? I don't know. Spreadsheet was also cool thing.
