COMPETITION WEEKS

During the first, third, and fifth weeks, every clan will be assigned another unit to exclusively combat. During those weeks, their only enemy will be the unit that they are facing in that week's matchup. Their entries and submissions will only be judged against those of the opposing unit.

Each unit in the matchup will be allowed to choose one event, with a third event randomly selected from the remaining selections. Each event will be weighted the same amount as the others. The unit that wins two events out of the three wins the matchup and progresses. In the actual process, summits will select two events, to be clearly marked in order of preference, in the case that there is duplication in selections. In no cases, will a matchup have more than one of any given event type (i.e. the events can not be fiction, gaming and fiction).

example: Clan A is facing Clan B. Clan A chooses Gaming, while Clan B chooses Fiction. The randomized event is Graphics. The two clans will compete against each other that week in Gaming, Fiction, and Graphics events.
