The 2009 CotG/LOW Booking Challenge has come to an end! I hope it added something interesting and different to the board and was enjoyable for those participating and reading along.
I'd like to publicly acknowledge the unsung heroes who made this contest possible, our Panel of Judges (Cory Olson, Jon Knapik, Osk, Swarm, Tournament Master & Troy). They were all kind enough to participate at my request and their only reward was the knowledge that the hobby would be benefited from their involvement. They were all very generous to commit their time toward reading the threads, contributing challenges and ultimately providing a structure to determine a winner. This was an ambitious project and their output resulted in the production of over 90 booking challenges with very little in the way of delays in turn around time. They performed like a well oiled machine and made a difficult task look deceptively easy.
I'd also like to thank those posters who helped to carry this forum (and the board) over the last three months. Not only was the level of dedication impressive, but the quality of output that was consistently provided week in and week out was outstanding. You all raised the bar very high for those looking to push the creative envelope working with FG Products.
Those who made it through this 12 week period from start to finish were a very rare breed. Over 30 people registered, some never got off the ground and many dropped out along the way.
2009 CotG/LOW Booking Challenge Performance Table
Only four contestants were able to hit beyond the Stage 3 Challenge 3 barrier and remained active into the final week:
Eliath
Mark 138
jasonjaconetti
Valour
I know that wasn't an easy task and that it took a considerable investment of time and energy. I also appreciate the fact that if those efforts weren't being made...there wouldn't have been very much of a forum for this community to enjoy. At your leisure each of you can send me a PM with the FG Set of your choice and I'll be happy to hook you guys up. You all deserve it!
Clean Up
After the final vote is in each of the threads will be moved into their respective Fed Forum categories. This will allow people the option of continuing onward. If you prefer to have a thread locked just send me a PM.
Once the threads are moved, the Performance Table above will be archived into the Fed of the Month folder with anchored links inserted for ready reference and easy access.
Final Outcome
Allow a few days for the Judges to read over the material, make their final decisions and privately cast their votes. After all the scores are tallied the 2009 Filsinger Games Booking Challenge Champion will be crowned and their account will be titled.
I'll leave this thread open for anyone who wants to make any final comments before we close shop.

The vote is in and the 2009 Filsinger Games Booking Challenge Champion has been crowned:
Eliath
In the course of a 12 week period Eliath finished at the top of the Performance Chart as he completed an astounding 36 booking challenges...a record which may never be broken! Perhaps even more impressive was the depth and complexity he put into his writing. He dealt with a wide array of issues that have rarely if ever been touched upon in the history of CotG/LOW Fed posting. The challenges he dealt with included unionization, venue problems, talent issues, complex event structures, corporate sponsorships and misdirection of planned angles.
If anyone is ever in need of inspiration as to what is possible working with Filsinger Games products, there is no better starting point than the work he produced with GWFZ: Mayhem.
Congratulations!
