FKficfest challenge brackets sound way more fun than March Madness brackets (apologies, college sportsball fans).
If you think it would be helpful re: commenting norms/expectations/etiquette in this challenge, perhaps some friendly "best practices" rather than "rules," especially if you're trying to keep the actual rules brief and perhaps save yourself from having to enforce something. I'm sure no one (who isn't an intentional jackhole, can't do anything about them) wants to inadvertently misstep or seem rude.
I'm really sorry to hear someone left you such an upsetting comment! I hope that was an outlier and not to be repeated, but I gather from your remarks that there has been some sort of unpleasant behavior or misunderstandings in fandom-at-large over the past year that you want to head off at the pass in this event.
Thanks for all your thoughtful approach to ensuring a positive experience for participants. Like thefruitbat, I haven't been in the present FK fandom that long (less than a year... a returnee from the 90s) and have found it really, really nice. Hopefully, that vibe sticks through this particular event and beyond.
