At long last, I’m really pleased to announce the 5th Lead Adventure Forum Lead Painters League (hereafter LPL5 for short!)
The new league will kick off in early March, and (God willing) run through to mid-May.
There will be 10 rounds, as in previous LPLs, with each round lasting one week.
The intention is that these rounds will run consecutively over a 10 week period - although we know from past experience that sometimes real life gets in the way. So please don’t be too surprised if there is a hiatus of a week or two here or there!
Rules are much the same as before – you can see the slightly updated version here...
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=25905.0...including details of the LPL5 themed bonus rounds.
And yes, the themes for these bonus rounds were taken from suggestions put forward by you, the people, and mainly participants in earlier LPLs.
I hope you were careful what you wished for
I’m pleased to say that in a new departure, we are dividing the LPL admin workload, with the inestimable Ray Rivers coming in as Official Lead Painters League Returning Officer!
I will set up the matches and handle all the admin around that.
Ray will (thank God) manage the number-crunching, tally up results, and update / publish the leaderboard after each round.
I can tell you this is a vital but thankless job (unless you love spreadsheets), so well done Ray for taking it on
Neither Ray nor myself intend to compete in LPL5, and we shouldn’t need to, provided we get an equal number of contestants.
The only other changes are to deadlines for entries.
I’m afraid these are shifting slightly to Saturday instead of Sunday. Why? Because trying to load up all the matches and send them live last thing on a Sunday night or in the early hours of Monday morning is just not practical when one has to be up, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for work first thing on Monday.
So this time, we’ll start each round Sunday daytime - which means I need entries in by Saturday lunchtime each week.
Depending where you are in the world (by time zone) this may be a help or a hindrance. Sorry about that, but it’s the way it has to be. And whatever you lose in painting time at one end of the week, you’ll make up for it in time gained at the other end of the week.
Oh yes, while I remember, a quick word on etiquette for both participants and observers.
We all want LPL entries and matches to stimulate comment and discussion, so it’s perfectly fine to comment on live matches. That's half the fun. But please try to keep comments constructive and don’t blatantly ‘boost’ (or attempt to torpedo) one or other entry.
So by all means comment ‘I really like what you’ve done there’. But please don’t go down the road of: ‘Well entry A is so manifestly superior to entry B, that I cannot understand why so many people are voting for entry B’.
That kind of thing will be edited by the Moderators.
I think that’s about it. The full rules, background, how it works, and how to enter are all available here:

And good luck!
