This year, the Arthur/Eames Last Drabble Writer Standing challenge will run for seven weeks, starting on July 3rd and ending on August 20th, with a total of 15 participants. Every week will include a Double Elimination until a winner is crowned. If you’re thinking of signing up, please read over the Rules and Guidelines first.

Sign-up will be split into TWO time slots:

#1 - June 20th, 2020 at 8 am UTC (Time Zone converter here)

#2 - June 21st, 2020 at 2 am UTC (Time Zone converter here)

Sign-ups are first come, first serve. The link to the sign-up form will be posted on June 19th, but the form will not be accessible until the times posted above. 

Seven spaces will be open for the first time slot, and eight for the second. Anyone can sign up in either time slot, but we do ask that people located in the Western Hemisphere wait for the second time slot to sign-up. 

If there is still space in the first section when the second time slot opens, they will be added to the second section.

If there are any questions, please send us a message!
