Blind Speed Dating RULES!!!! and Info!
(Remember! For Twitter Trash Talk use #AgentTTT)
Agent’s RULES:
Blind speed dating is the 20th-23rd. Friday the 24th will be used to announce winners, undercover names… Each day will run from NOON (EST) – MIDNIGHT (EST).
Agents will receive a total of 10 arrows. BUT not all at once. They do not have to use all of their arrows.
They start with 4 arrows on Monday. Then receive 2 more arrowseach day after that (2 on Tuesday, 2 on Wednesday, and 2 on Thursday). Totaling 10.
Each partial request is worth 1 arrow. (Each entry can only have 2 partial requests!)
Each full request is worth 3 arrows. (Using a full steals any partials made on that entry. They may trump their own partial, too)
Here’s the thing… *evil laughing* Fulls CANNOT be made until the last day, Thursday! And partials go up in cost on Wednesday to 2 arrows!
*Agents can leave any comment. But when using arrows they must say something like ”Struck with Honorary Cupid so and so’s arrow(s)!” AND the # of arrows being used. (1-3)
**Material agents want to see but do not win will be available one week after the first agent(s) receive the material.**
INFO:
1. Remember this event is dedicated to Helping Hearts for Britta.
2. Entries are only open for agent’s comments. The public can comment when it’s over.
3. There is an all day Q&A on the blog with the agents on Tuesday. Some of the agent’s will stop by to answer questions as they can.
