    I think AAR competitions are a bad idea. It could discourage those who write good ones but do not come out on top.

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

    Well, there isn't a prize so therefore there will not be a ranking system. Therefore it will just be a chance to have fun writing. Therefore if people get discouraged by that then I feel sorry for them.

    Check out the thread. There has been developments.

    Personally, I think the point of AAR's is to have an "escape from reality" in something that's very entertaining. Competitions kind of ruin that.

    I totally agree with Bovi.

    Personally I probably wouldn't pay much attention to AARs in a competition format either, but I suppose if people want to participate in it they'll be aware they might not win. I think as long as it doesn't impact on the whole AAR thing outside of any competition maybe theres no harm in letting those that want to go ahead?
    You never know, could even act as a catalyst for some great AARs.
    My 2 cents
    Cheers
