I would like to join the EL.
average right now is about 1 a night depending on when you start counting. haha.

availability =5

I would like to join the Intermediate League. I have LDs around twice a week. I will be be fully available for January 13 - Sun, January 29.

I would like to join the Expert League. I've been averaging 5-7 LDs a week. I would rate my availability as 4/5. With the Fri, January 13 - Sun, January 29 schedule, I would be sleeping on a plane during my first night of competition, would be perhaps a bit sleep deprived/jetlagged the second night and would be going back to school on an unfamiliar schedule during the second week of competition. I'm not sure how this would affect my performance overall, but I would still be able to post scores daily. Oddly enough, I must be up for the challenge because I picked the Fri, January 13 - Sun, January 29 schedule.

I will join. Expert. No idea anymore on frequency. As little as 2 a week sometimes, maybe up to 5 average (letting my routine slack too much), but the comp might bump that up higher. I should have a 5/5 availabilty this time. Sorry about my poor showing last time with the vacation and all.

i´m in. expert league plz. like always not to many lucids lately because i dont take care too much about good sleeping hygiene at the moment but i should be worth some points once i have some proper goals i voted for first appointment. second would do too. i would say i am a 4 availability-wise...

Expert league coming in fast.

Gonna be a good competition!

Going to have to sit this one out. Maybe I'll be ready for a spring comp.

I'll join the beginner league! My averages have been really low, I only had 5 LDs in 2016, most of which were in the first half of the year. I should be completely free for any of the dates listed.

Hello there! Tom here!
I would like to join the beginner league as I am averaging 1 LD every week and a half.
I should have about 4/5 availability for the first date listed, 2/5 or 3/5 for the rest.
Good luck to everyone!!

Hi would like to join beginners,
lucid rate is less then one a week
nr 5 with completely free, but night time can be busy with baby + snoring hubby
haven't had a long lucid since last comp, so hopefully this will help to get focused

I would like to join the intermediate group. I average 2 lucid dreams a week and they have been fairly long lately. I haven't been make my a huge effort so I look forward to seeing where more effort will take me. Husband is working away from home for 2.5 months so I have more free time and don't have to worry about waking him with WBTB. Yahh I have lots of time to work on this. Any of those dates work.

Nice! Another comp! Last one was awesome. Won't be able to do as well this comp but I'm definitely still joining! I guess I'll still be in the beginner league. Availability is 5.
Jan 13 - Sun, Jan 29 would be best

Sign me up for Intermediate! (I think I have been doing 1/week, and I will be fully available)

Just looking at the poll, I'm getting the feeling people are very excited for Spellbee's competition and no one can wait!

Guess I'll join as intermediate recently in dry spell, but with recent 2.5 lucid per week also 1.x per week overall average

Be advised that I will be under duplex hunting, moving pressure (I voted for early since I have cable here at least thru months end)

Oh cool another comp! Sign me up in the intermediate. Availability 4.5

I'm in - the last competition was an immeasurable help, so I look forward to seeing what this can do for me! Intermediate, 1.5 short lucids/week, 5/5 availability.

I join the beginner leaguexD I am available on the scale of 3.5, I'll try to be as active as I can..I really hope to get at last a lucidxD

New year, new you! New comp, new 'Views! If you win or if you lose, don't forget... your shoes?... I'm not a rapper.

Well it's worth being here just to see that xD (and progress bar, I wan one)

Beginner, please. 1 lucid a month. I will make sure I post something daily.

Been out of DV for some time and just when I come back, a new competition! Thanks for the note Saizaphod!

Sign me up to Beginners, availability 3 and a half

Good way to start this year! I am going with the Intermediate league although I am a bit overconfident there. Let's see.

Availability will be around 3. There should be no problem with making an entry here now and then and counting up my points but my exams at university are around the corner which eats up quite a lot of time of course.

I'm game, signing up for Beginner League again though. I have no idea what my LD/week ratio is, but it's low and random.
Availability is a 2... I won't be putting in maximum effort, I might not update my score every single day but I'll definitely make my presence known when I have dreams to report.

I want to join the beginner league, and my average rate of lucidity has been 10.7 LDs over the last 6 months.
I chose beginner because I have a very low ratio of Actually Getting Something Done to Rate of Lucidity.
As for availability, I expect a 4.

I'll sign up for intermediate. Availability is probably a 3.5, since grad school can get incredibly hectic but January shouldn't be too bad hopefully.

Another one for the expert league! Last couple of weeks have been about 5 out of 7 nights with at least one lucid. Availability will be 4-5 as in I will probably post most weekdays but weekends can get a bit busy sometimes.
