I would repeat my suggestion from the last tournament. Make it just one prompt per round. That way we might have less diversity in the heads up duels, but a reshuffling is possible if multiple candidates don’t post entries.
At least I would much rather compete against another author, than advancing uncontested.

That's correct. It worked well last tournament so we'll do the same thing again.AdmiralPiet wrote: Fri Jun 12, 2026 3:15 pmI think that is the planShocker wrote: Fri Jun 12, 2026 3:01 pm I would repeat my suggestion from the last tournament.

I’d be up for that too.
Pseudonym: Marilyn Monroe
By the way, I think it would be pretty cool if, instead of our own suggestions, we gave each Flash tournament a theme—so the pseudonyms would follow a similar pattern. Like superheroes, horror characters, animals, etc.

Off the top of my head, superheroes (or DC/Marvel) and horror are the ones that come to mind most readily.
