Write it Do it

[rockhound]

IMHO it's okay. I mean yes it's a curve ball, but really? The writer's job is to describe as best as possible, I and under the assumption that "put the snowman sticker on the paper" is defiantly not the best most writers can do. The writer should have know that something was up when the was only one sticker on one sheet of paper, or at least taken the time... you have 25 minutes for the goodness sake! Yes I might sound mean, it's because I'm in a bad mood. I'm sorry.

I think I might have been unclear. The writer did not see a sheet of paper with one sticker on it but rather saw a "standard Write it Do it structure" (whatever that is) and one of the pieces incorporated in it was a sticker. When you think about it it was only one of he 20-30 pieces that made up the structure.

If the writer's instructions are even mediocre there still shouldn't be TOO much confusion with extra pieces,right? I mean when in doubt don't just shove it in and hope for the best right?

Not necessarily. At an invitational in OH they gave us a sheet of stickers with snowmen wearing different clothing and doing differnt things. The writers only saw one sticker so they basically wrote "attach the snowman sticker ...." but they needed to tell you it was the snowman sticker with the red had throwing snowballs. Not the blue hat snowball thrower, the red had skier, or any of the other 20 stickers.

Was that from the West-Liberty Salem Invitational?

ohhhhhhhhhh.....that makes more sense--in that case I still think they should have told them that a ton of stickers would be given

yes they should have told the writer that there were going to be a sheet of stickers that doesn't sound very fair to not tellthe writers that

[kp9ssa]

they should.plus they should tell writersif there are any other extra pieces

[fmtiger124]

no they shouldn't
That's one of those things that the doers just have to deal with and that the writers should be ready for so they make extra descriptive directions.

I think they shouldn't tell them about extra pieces but those stickers They should have told about

[EastStroudsburg13]

They didn't have to. That was a true test of their skill. It doesn't say there can't be extra similar pieces given out in the rules so if they want to, they can, and personally I think it's a really good idea.

I agree that they should not tell you about extra pieces. It just makes it more of a challenge. But bringing up the stickers again. It was the only thing that we think was like that, so it was only one of the pieces you had to deal with. Think of it like a tiebreaker.

a tie breaker???? are u kidding me!!!!! thats preposterous I dont think anyone would have got that part right
