I'm going to reach out to Andrew (who is hopefully not swamped with tomorrow's goings-on) and see if he has a high-level solution for us!

Shoot, after posting my bracket, I realized I should have done some judge-stalking first... I might be wildly off. :/

My favorite time of year - although only 6/18 read.
Loved two of them.

Trees
The Sentence

[Mindy]

I became a completist last night, just in the nick of time! This is the first time I've read all 18 although I've read all but one for a couple of past tournaments. I DNF "No One is Talking About This" during Camp ToB, but I left it for last and managed to push through it this time around. My order of preference:

1. The Trees
2. Several People are Typing
3. Subdivision
4. Klara and the Sun
5. The Sentence
6. All‘s Well
7. Book of Form…
8. The Echo Wife
9. Matrix
10. Nervous System
11. Our Country Friends
12. Intimacies
13. Confession of Copeland Cane
14. Libertie
15. When We Cease…
16. In Concrete
17. Beautiful World…
18. No One is Talking About This

Applause, applause!! I think it SO interesting that everyone's lists are so varied. At least at a glance.
