Thanks to Luciano Ward for moderating PCWC 125
And now it's time for...
PEOPLE'S CLUE WRITING COMPETITION NUMBER 126
Welcome to PCWC 126, a clue-writing contest created by Guy Jacobson. Instead
of just one judge, this contest is judged by everyone who wants to vote.
All clue types are welcome.
The word: LAMENTABLE
The moderator: Bruce McKenzie <mcke...@bigmultimedia.com>
The schedule:
Deadline for entries: June 10 at 11:59 pm, EDT
Ballot posted: June 11, 2001
Deadline for votes: June 21, 2001
Results posted: June 22
To enter, write a cryptic-crossword clue for the word above, and e-mail it
to the moderator before the deadline. Please use the form for entries
described below. One entry per person. Do not post any clues to the
newsgroup.
The moderator will post a ballot that lists all the entries, with the
authors' names removed. Everyone then has a chance to vote and comment on
the clues by sending e-mail to the moderator. You do not have to enter to
vote.
The moderator counts the votes and announces the winners. The winner of
this contest is invited to moderate the next contest.
The moderator does not enter and does not vote, except to break ties.
For each clue, please write a "summary" explanation, like the following:
[M.A. + R K]
[(o)MARK(hayyam) - hidden word]
[double definition]
[MAR + (s)K(y) (RAM reversed)]
[MAR+K(ate)]
[triple definition]
These lines will appear on the ballot and again in the results posting.
