But as the judges only take into account the actual numbered spar posts + closing defense, it leaves it kind of murky on whether or not spar openers (0/3) need to be under 800 words as well. Seeing as the judges only read them to get an idea of the setting (if they read 'em at all) and do not judge what is stated in them.
So the question is: does the entire Battleground thread have to be under 800 words, or only the numbered fight posts + closing defense?
