Contest and meetings, now

One can create a contest fast and have wonderful result. Or, can let wait all before letting in one by one, hide judges, do not show faces. Why? Why should make online meetings more complicated then the one we had before?

There is no real reason after my opinion.

In all contests before, we had seen judges faces. No one has to know if they are only guests or also have the roles of judges or counters. This morning, witty Storytellers online, created September 2016 hold a fast and real contest with 5 contestants. Very high level, interesting and varied.
I was contest chair.

Here is the Gallery view, towards the end.
Here you can see 3 contestants, Chair and TM of meeting, Michelle the Chief Judge, and a guest.

Other contestants, also. Some sitting, others standing. Some in special costume and background.

Here direct from zoom we were all together. Two of our newest members we did not even see before, some pals from online clubs who come to assist and some distinguished judges we did not know why should they have be hidden behind black squares?

The most important, in my opinion: keep meetings as simple as possible and as near the meetings before then possible. As with Pathways, meetings should not change or very little.

Most important, to remain friendly and funny.
